Visit 3 most beautiful motu (little islands) with powdery white sand or crashed white sands: Akaiami, Motu Rakau and the famed One Foot island.
Relax on the beach, walk to the sandbar, swim and snorkle in the crystal clear water of a safe channel, walk across the island to see some stunning black volcanic rocks contrasting with the Aquamarine of the lagoon, listen to the stories of our knowledgeable guide.
Once a sound of the cone shell will call you back to the Vaka again you can find out a touchy, romantic legend of a fatherly love and learn how One Foot Island got his name.

Spend some beautiful time far from the hustle and bustle cruising aboard our Vaka the big wide turquoise of one of the world’s most beautiful lagoon. Soak up the sun and the peace and amazing views of the lagoon and soft bright white beaches, pristine nature in its best.

Very deliberately there is no WiFi onboard of our Vaka and many of our guests said how much they appreciated that time away from their phone and computer.
Being always online we forget how to just be in the moment. This is what the cruise offers you today. Being present, feeling the moment and appreciation for the beauty around. Sit back, relax and enjoy the gentle sway, the wind in your hair, sun on your skin, taste of the salty ocean and amazing nature around
