Overview

Aboard my va'a, I'll share with you my passion for traditional sailing. We'll set off in search of the wind to enjoy the sensations of gliding and adventure.

You'll be able to take part in the manoeuvres and steer the Va'a.
I'll share with you the stories of Polynesian sailors, their legends and my experiences at sea with traditional pirogues.

We'll have the chance to stop off at some of the most beautiful spots in Moorea's lagoon. While enjoying a unique setting to savour the many local fruits and snacks prepared for the outing.

I'd like to share with you the feeling of freedom I get when I take to the sea with Vaapiti!
