CATAMARAN CRUISE & NOMAD  DIVE  CLUB IN THE TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO AND THROUGH FRENCH POLYNESIA

THE OCEAN IS NOT JUST A SURFACE, IT'S A VOLUME

OUR SERVICES

Our skipper with more than 8 years of sailing experience in the Tuamotu manages the boat, sails and maintenance for the duration of the cruise. 

We offer a complete dive club that can be installed on board different boats. Our dive instructor has over 8 years of experience on cruise ships in French  Polynesia.

NOMAD DIVE CLUB

We work with a network of boats based in French Polynesia and can assist in chartering a vessel suited to your needs. 

BOAT RENTAL

Our videographer is a drone pilot and diver and has been exploring Polynesia for almost 8 years creating videos, photos, websites and marketing communication campaigns in French Polynesia. 

VIDEO AND COMMUNICATION

We work with  different catamarans throughout the year to offer you the ideal cruise through the Tuamotu! Depending on your desires and your budget, we can offer different types of formulas:  

The "Makatea Express" cruise

The "Tuamotu Explorer" cruise

The Diving Cruise

MAKATEA EXPRESS CRUISE

A formula for adventures from 4 to 7 days, to discover the magnificent island of Makatea with a departure from Rangiroa. Please note, we do not depart from Tahiti . The navigations are done at night and are short and comfortable. The skipper manages the boat while you sleep and you wake up at your destination!

Departure is from Rangiroa. We  stop  in Tikehau on the way  to enjoy a dive or two. Snorkeling with the manta rays and discovery of the atoll before returning to the sea at night to continue our journey to Makatea. ​

We go directly to Makatea and maximize the number of days there. Makatea is a mysterious island and very different from the Tuamotu atolls! Take advantage of a night navigation to wake up in a new setting and spend a few days to visit this island accessible only by boat! Possibility of climbing, visiting freshwater caves, old phosphate mines and whale watching (whales only from August - November).

Optional diving, equipment and compressors available on board depending on the catamaran used.

TUAMOTU EXPLORER CRUISE

A fully customizable formula, as a couple, with family or friends, ideal for a period of 7 to 14 days.

Visiting the Tuamotus is an adventure not to be missed in your life! This archipelago consists of many atolls and few of them  welcome   regular tourists.

We invite you to discover the less visited atolls of the Tuamotus, departing from Rangiroa. You can combine a cruise with a stay on land in our pension on Rangiroa. 

www.bounty-rangiroa.com

We create tailor-made itineraries according to your desires, the duration of the cruise and your preferences. Islands we can visit include: 

Tikehau : perfect for divers, a small atoll which has a lot of charm and allows visits on land and encounters with manta rays.

Apataki : an atoll full of surprises, perfect for diving with two passes full of sharks that have nothing to envy to the big names in diving in the Tuamotu. Apataki is home to a very flowery village that can be visited by foot. 

Toau : Out of this world diving and snorkelling opportunities as well as a great visit on land, to meet Gaston and Valentine, among the only inhabitants of Toau, who welcome you for a Polynesian meal not to be missed!

Aratika : a little-known atoll that is worth the detour! Visit of the motu of the abandoned village. One day, the inhabitants almost all left their homes to settle in another part of  the atoll ... why? You can now visit the  abandoned  village. With its two passes, one being   sort of "comma-shaped", Aratika is full of sharks and hidden secrets! 

Tahanea : remote atoll sheltering three  passes , so many possibilities of exploration for divers and lovers of the ocean! No village here, only a few fishermen huts are spread over a few motu. A real adventure in a wild Tuamotu atoll. 

Faaite : a pass full of fishes, with  many fish parks! Faaite is an atoll of fishermen... and surfers! Charming village that can be explored on foot and whose inhabitants are very welcoming. 

There are still many islands that we can consider for this discovery cruise: Kauehi, Kaukura, Makatea,  Ahe, Manihi...

DIVING CRUISE

A Formula designed for a small group of divers wishing to make one to three dives per day. The trips are tailor-made, as for our Tuamotu Explorer formula. We set off to discover the different passes of the Tuamotu, true "lungs" of the lagoon, where fish and predators are concentrated!

This cruise will allow you to discover the mythical underwater sites of French Polynesia but also to explore preserved sites, accessible only by boat! We offer you to dive with a selection of diving clubs on the  atolls   that have one, and we take you to discover sites inaccessible to clubs from our diving cruise catamaran. 

Take advantage of being the only divers present on the site! 

In order to fully enjoy the diving cruise, we take a maximum of 4 divers (2 to 3 dives per person).

It is possible to take more divers on the cruise, but in this case all participants must share the number of dives organized per day, going by groups of 4 maximum. 

This limit is needed for us  to guarantee   comfort on board, with all the diving equipment, and so that everyone can fit in the dinghy that brings the divers to the site. 

DIVING IN FRENCH POLYNESIA

French Polynesia is home to many of the best dive sites in the world!

You   want   dive with   dolphins? Several species of sharks, including tiger sharks or hammerhead sharks? You want to dive among huge groups of fish on preserved reefs in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

Here, all this is possible!  

In French Polynesia, it is not uncommon to come across several species of large sharks as well as large   marine mammals ,

like dolphins and whales.  

There are 118 islands in French Polynesia and only a few of them have diving centers. The diving activity is essentially gathered on the same islands, such as Rangiroa, Fakarava, Bora Bora, Moorea or Tahiti.  

Thanks to a diving cruise, you can venture to uncrowded sites and far from mass tourism. The stay for a small group also makes it possible to adapt the diving profiles according to the wishes of our divers. We'll be able to   go   looking for the species you want to observe!  ​

Marc is a skipper, sailing and diving instructor.  

He holds a French sailing and diving certificate and is also a PADI dive instructor.  H e will guide you to discover the islands he   explores   since his arrival in French Polynesia in 2016.

He is assisted by various local guides, from Rangiroa or neighboring islands, during his cruises.  

Lety-Siâh is a video producer, drone pilot, yoga instructor, underwater videographer and marketing specialist.

She manages cruise reservations and will be happy to advise you on a tailor made itinerary between the Tuamotu atolls , depending on your time and preferences.

Anne  is originally from Rangiroa and she is a cruise guide. She prepares food for people who want it. 

Felicien is the owner of the  Wanderlust catamaran , with whom we collaborate mainly for our cruises in the Tuamotus.

5-Star Reviews For Our Trips

Tetiaroa is heaven on earth. Quintessential tropical atoll, no construction, pristine beaches, wonderful bird island...during the excursion you can easily find a place to stay completely on your own...We saw also dolphins and lemon sharks close to the boat. At 120 Euros per person we thought it clear value for money by Tahiti standard.

I would highly recommend this one day trip to everyone visiting Tahiti...What I really liked with this trip is that you can visit an island which is not crowded at all. Just a few other people there. I'm really sad that we couldn't stay there more. There are 3 other companies doing trips to Tetiaroa but it seemed to me they are more commercial and touristy. With this one I felt like I'm part of the family. Thank you again!

A light breakfast is provided on arrival at the quay and there are refreshments available on the boat all day...the island is idyllic, with no visible development to speak of, just white sand beaches and palm trees...There is time for swimming and snorkeling (best to bring your own gear if you can). A good quality lunch is then provided on the boat prior to the return trip to Tahiti. Overall, a memorable day out - and a great cure for jetlag!

We took the Escapade Charter to Tetiaro Atoll. They run a safe and fun operation. The deck hand/cook spoke good English...It was a 3.5 hour motor sail out to the atoll. We loved it. That is why we went - to spend some time on the ocean in the South Pacific, as we are sailors...The lunch was delicious and fruit and snacks available all the way home....I would do it again!

Plan of boat

Life on board Aquatiki III

The boat is skippered permanently by a professional crew of 3 or 4 people :

• A skipper who manages and navigates
• A hostess, cooking and service on board
• 1 or 2 BEES diving instructor organizing diving and water activities.

The meals consist mainly of fresh fish , real local wealth, and rice; In fact, the bunkering in the Tuamotu is very limited, especially with regard to fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables.

Our hostess, real blue cordon , will make you discover succulent local recipes and an inventive kitchen. Bread, brioches, pan cakes, yogurts, all “home”, are prepared on board. On board, table water and lemonade are served at will throughout the day. However, drinks (sodas, mineral water, alcohol, …) are extra. Moreover, a cocktail bar is at your disposal from the end of the afternoon … relaxation and cocktail breakfast.

Sailing is usually done very early in the morning and sailing most often in the lagoons or in the open sea. Good and pleasant sailing conditions make it possible to practice big game fishing. Area very fishy !!! Coconut heart tasting.

We do not sail every day, which allows us to visit the atolls crossed and to make many excursions, to discover paradisiacal beaches, to practice nautical activities …

Shore Excursion Details

Catamaran sail away, raiatea, french polynesia.

Added to Favourites!

• 3 hrs Estimate Duration

Sail the enchanted waters of the lagoon that surrounds Raiatea in a comfortable catamaran and then anchor off a coral reef, where you will have the opportunity to swim and snorkel.

After departing from the pier, you will soon begin cruising the protected turquoise lagoon that encircles Raiatea, an island whose name translates to faraway heaven. Settle in wherever you please, as the catamaran features trampolines for sunbathing and lounging. There is also a well-shaded area, if you prefer a covered environment.

Because the catamaran has a shallow draft, it can cruise into areas off limits to other vessels, presenting you with a spectacular, up-close view of the lagoon. Feel the sea breeze as your eyes discover the lush and unique scenery of Raiatea & its sister island Taha'a.

In time, you will stop to swim and snorkel along a coral reef teeming with brightly colored tropical fish. You might even see sea turtles gracefully swimming by, completely undisturbed by your presence. After approximately one hour, you will cruise back to the pier.
