Island Adventures Await

From lagoon mornings to sunset sails, Tahiti invites you to explore at your own pace. Just a minute from White Plage, Vaiava Beach (PK18) is one of the island’s most beloved spots, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or paddleboarding—especially on calm mornings. The nearby coral garden teems with sea life, and views of Moorea stretch across the lagoon. Don’t miss the local ice cream truck in the afternoons—chocolate-dipped cones with tropical flavors are a sweet reward.

Looking for more? Try a guided snorkel or dive, paddle along the coast, or book a jet ski or whale watching tour. Some excursions to Moorea even include lunch on a secluded motu. For land-based adventures, explore Tahiti’s lush valleys, scenic waterfalls, or go off-road into the Papenoo Valley by 4x4.

For an unforgettable experience on the water, book a small-group tour with Moby Dick Tahiti in Pa’ea. Their expert-led excursions offer respectful whale watching and snorkeling adventures during the July to October season—just minutes from our residence.
