The island of Raiatea is every sailor's dream!

No. 2 Raiatea

It is the fourth largest island in French Polynesia. And although this mythical place is rather difficult to reach by water, thanks to the existence of charter agencies, yachtsmen tend to come here.

The advantage of this direction: this is the dream of any sailor. At least once in your life, you must go here!

Must visit: rich underwater life. Each of the islands (Bora Bora, Raiatea, Tahaa and Huahine) has its own unique atmosphere. Just heaven on earth!

Best time to travel: all year round, with a preference for the period from March to October.

Local charter companies: Dream Yachts Charter - Moorings - Tahiti Yacht Charter - Sunsail

Everyone wants to discover the local wonderful lagoons and rich underwater life. The airport on Raiatea Island is only a 45-minute flight from the major Tahiti Faa'a Airport and the only international airport in French Polynesia. Raiatea is the ideal base for an exciting sailing trip to the magical Windward Antilles.

The lagoon that surrounds the islands of Raiatea and Tahaa is in itself a wonderful place to navigate. In just a few hours sailing you will reach the mysterious Bora Bora Island and the equally delightful Huahine Island.
