Full Day · 6–7h · Shared
A day full of colour.
“I'm staying on the boat,” you tell yourself as the first shark glides past. Ten minutes later, you're the last one who wants to climb back on. In the afternoon a beach comes into view, and now you're sure. Even a photo will struggle to count as proof…
Who it's for: Anyone who can swim, diver or not: no certification needed
From 16 000 XPF per adult, taxes incl.
Live our greatest adventure: South Pass & Pink Sand tour in Fakarava
Evening · 2h · Private
An evening that comes once in a lifetime.
You don't notice at first that you've stopped talking. The sky turns from gold to copper, then to pink, and the water, smooth as a mirror, reflects it so faithfully that the boat seems to hang between two skies. Above the palm trees, the horizon catches fire. The two of you sit at the bow without a word, because there's nothing left to say…
Who it's for: Couples, friends, or to celebrate something
On request depends on group and plan
Create our memory: Sunset Cruise tour in Fakarava
Tailor-made · Private
Your memory, written in turquoise ink.
You've pictured this day a hundred times, eyes closed in the middle of winter. When it comes, the captain will turn around to ask where you'd like to go, and you'll realise the story is yours. One more swim because the light is beautiful, a motu all to yourselves… And that evening, you'll search a long time for the words to tell it.
Who it's for: Families, groups of friends, or if you want your own itinerary

The fullest day out, with the pass sharks and the Pink Sand. From 8 people, your group nearly has the boat to itself.
Lagoon guarantee
For a first outing or with children, the half-day Blue Lagoon: shallow water, easy swimming, Bird Island. To see reef sharks and the Pink Sand, the full-day South Pass. For a quiet moment for two, the sunset cruise. For a group or your own itinerary, the private boat.
Yes. The South Pass tour is surface snorkeling with mask and snorkel: you watch the reef sharks and fish from the surface, no dive certification needed. You do need to be able to swim.
The Blue Lagoon is in the north-west of the atoll, closer to Rotoava village, so the trip fits into a morning. The South Pass (Tetamanu) and the Pink Sand are at the far end of the lagoon, hence a full day with lunch on a motu.
Travellers usually recommend 3 to 4 days to see both the north and the south of the atoll, with a spare day in case the wind moves a trip.
The dry season, May to October, usually brings calmer seas and clearer water. Shark gatherings in the pass are said to peak around June and July. Tours run all year, depending on the day's weather.
10 guests at most. Shared tours run from 8 guests; below that, you choose another date, another tour, a private charter for a supplement or a full refund.
Send us the day and how many of you there are. We reply with the seats left, and asking costs nothing.
