Highlights
- Vanilla plantations
- The cross-island track
 
 

The sister island of Raiatea, enclosed with her in the same wonderful lagoon was not yet the plantation island with the sweet aroma of vanilla pervading the mountains and villages as it is nowadays but the growing of the scented pods now plays an important part in the lives of her 4,845 inhabitants.

Along the way, eight attractive and tranquil villages are dotted, with Patio being the main one. Its lagoon in sapphire and emerald tones, a diver's and sailor's paradise, connects out to the ocean through two wide reef passages where blue dolphins play.

Note : There is no airport in Tahaa (the closest one is in Raiatea)
