L'Excursion Blue on Taha'a or Raiatea

[GEM314]

We are going on the Windstar cruise to Tahiti at the end of this month. I'm trying to figure out if it makes more sense to go on the L'excursion Blue trip on the Taha'a day or the Raiatea day. If we go on the Taha'a day, we will miss hanging out on the motu (which might be a nice break.) If we go on the Raiatea day we will skip a kayak trip on the river and visit to Marae Taputapuatea (although maybe we could take a cab here after the trip.)

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

Last time we did L'excursion Blue trip on the Taha'a day . Fantastic time was had. Traditional boat trip around the whole island, Visited a vanialla and pearl farm, had a plentiful time for a swim in the Motu.

 

Dont count on too much commentary or sense of humour etc, but uou wont be dissapointed it was a lot to fit in

 

 

I am even considering going on it a second time , but too early to tell.

Bruno moors his boat on Raiatea, right next to the ship dock. I didn't know he did a whole day trip when a ship was on the west side of Tahaa. Is this actually Bruno or a different operator? Is it the full day tour or an abbreviated tour just for the ship?

 

Just asking, always like to know the straight skinny

Bruno was willing to do the full day tour from either location. Because we will be leaving Tahaa a bit earlier (and want to enjoy the motu) we've decided to do the trip from Raiatea.

Bruno can be a bit 'dry' but is really a very nice guy who always wants people to experience the lagoon to it's fullest. The drift snorkel is wonderful though you need to be a bit careful not to cut yourself.

 

Enjoy your trip and this excursion, good choice

Had a fantastic day with my family on Bruno's full day tour. It was a highlight of our trip. Bruno took his own photos and emailed them to us.

Bruno has a good quality underwater camera and knows how to use it. It is nice that his expertise/photos are tossed in at no added charge.

Did Windstar wind up doing the motu day on Taha'a? I called to ask if that would be on every cruise or just on the inaugural voyage and they told me it was just a one time special thing. Let me know if they do the motu day, so I can plan accordingly for my Aug. Cruise. thanks
