Set sail for a magical sunset journey aboard a traditional Polynesian sailing canoe—hand-built and unique in all of Polynesia. This eco-friendly adventure invites you to escape the ordinary and reconnect with nature as you glide silently across Moorea’s crystal-clear lagoon, carried by the wind alone.

As the golden light bathes the island’s lush peaks and the calm lagoon, you’ll have the chance to encounter Moorea’s incredible marine life. During a snorkeling stop in the warm waters, swim alongside graceful stingrays, curious blacktip reef sharks, and, with a bit of luck, sea turtles peacefully gliding by. You may also spot ancient submerged tiki statues resting on the sandy floor—a truly otherworldly experience.

This isn’t just a scenic sail—it’s a cultural immersion into the ancestral art of Polynesian navigation. Your guide will teach you how to handle the sail, tie essential knots, and share stories of explorers and island legends passed down through generations.

With no engine noise and minimal environmental impact, this tour honors the ocean’s natural rhythms and respects its fragile ecosystem. Enjoy a moment of calm as fresh tropical fruits are served onboard, and the sun melts into the horizon in hues of gold, coral, and deep indigo.
