Tahaa, French Polynesia (Scenic Cruising)

Tahaa, known as the "vanilla island," is responsible for most of the vanilla produced in French Polynesia. This tiny undeveloped island shares a common lagoon with Raiatea, and is only accessible by boat. It's also the only island in the Society Islands that can be completely circled by boat within its protected lagoon. Tahaa is an idyllic spot to cruise its tranquil bays and deserted islets that dot the reefs.

Vanilla Plantations

Polynesian Vanilla has earned a global reputation for being the best in the world.

Sea Turtles

An endangered species, the turtles on Tahaa are protected in a nature preserve and turtle sanctuary.
