Sailing into Raiatea- not to be missed!!

The sale entry is every day as beautiful as the sailing into Venice used to be. If you get up super early, we sail by Bora Bora, but it’s pretty dark. The last three years the captain has opened up the bow at 6 AM. I highly recommend you get out and about for the sailing because it is very unique.

First, the ship sales passed Bora Bora, and makes a turn to enter the lagoon at the north end of Tahaa. Shipp makes a sharp right turn in sales down the West Coast of Tahaa before crossing over the lagoon to the west side of Raiatea. The last two years we sailed down to die in Uturo, but this year we dropped anchor in the area between the two islands and will tender in.

We enter the lagoon on the north end of TaHaa- a small inlet to fit thru

We have to fit thru that little break in the reef

We were treated to a couple hundred dolphin greeting us

It’s such a stunning sail in
