A secluded little slice of paradise in the Rangiroa atoll, the Blue Lagoon is a magnificent, unmissable site that you have to discover on this guided excursion from Avatoru Marina. With the striking blue of its waters, which stay between 26 and 29°C, the white sandbanks and the lush green of the deserted motus surrounding it, this place offers an exceptional palette of colours worthy of the finest postcards of French Polynesia. And what better way to enjoy it than during a boat tour in Rangiroa, accompanied by local guides who will share all the secrets of this magical spot? Get ready for 7.5 hours of unforgettable exploration, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or with friends!
In a small group of up to 15 participants, you will begin with an hour’s navigation across the Rangiroa lagoon, aboard a boat equipped for your comfort (seating and a canopy to shelter you from the sun). Expect a real feast for the eyes as you arrive at the Blue Lagoon! Once there, you will enjoy not only swimming and snorkelling, but also special moments on a motu that feels like the end of the world. The guides will introduce you to the wildlife and flora that thrive in the lagoon, after which you will have time to relax before taking part in a weaving workshop, followed by a traditional Tuamotu lunch prepared before your eyes for an authentically local experience. And the day doesn’t end there!
Once you have eaten your fill, your boat tour to Rangiroa’s Blue Lagoon will continue towards Avatoru Pass, your next snorkelling spot if the current conditions allow it. Snorkelling in Avatoru Pass is not to be missed, offering an incredibly rich array of marine life to admire beneath the surface as you drift with the current: tropical fish, rays, sharks, and perhaps even dolphins! In short, a memorable experience! Finally, the adventure will conclude with a stop at the Green Lagoon, another natural wonder of the Rangiroa atoll.
One thing is certain: by taking part in this boat tour to Rangiroa’s Blue Lagoon, you will return home with a bundle of stunning photos and memories that will make anyone green with envy!
