Our guides in French Polynesia.
French Polynesia · island
Fly from Papeete in under an hour, base either on a motu or near Matira Beach, give your best-weather day to a full-day lagoon tour with an operator that does not feed the sharks, ride the 32-kilometer loop road past the wartime guns, and keep every evening for the west-facing water. In whale season (late July to November), add a licensed trip outside the reef.
