maheRaiatea is referred to as the sacred island and is regarded as being the cradle of all Polynesian civilizations. It keeps very impressive archeological remains and evokes a sense of beauty and mystery.

Located 220 km Northwest of Tahiti, Raiatea is the largest and highest of the Leeward Islands. It is located inside a large lagoon enclosing also the neighboring island of Tahaa, located to the North. The splendid Faaroa Bay is the deepest bay in all Polynesia (over 30 m or 100ft deep). It is in Raiatea that the nautical bases of all sailboat rentals for the Leeward Islands are located.

How to get there: By plane: A 45-minute flight from Tahiti, or a 15-minute flight from Huahine - about 3 to 5 daily flights. By boat: the Taporo VI and the Vaeanu sail there 2 to 3 times a week from Tahiti (about 12-hour crossing with a 1-hour stop in Huahine).

Uturoa City is the capital of the Leeward Islands and the Dream Yacht Charter base is located in Uturoa Marina, about 500 meters from the city and several restaurants. Raitea is just a launch pad for visiting the many islands, such as Bora Bora, Huahine, Moorea, Tahiti, Rangiroa, and Tikehau… Please review the suggested itineraries for further information and suggestions.

Beaches are indeed rare in Raiatea, but this does not diminish the island's charm. When you charter a bareboat, or luxury crewed sailboat you can explore the lagoon with the freedom and ease that resort guests can’t even imagine.  Take in lush scenery and vistas and snorkel in spots not accessible to the average vacationer.

raiateaAs an option, reserve a kayak for your Dream Yacht (or just take your dinghy) and partake in a “must have experience”. Leave your sailboat in the lagoon and paddle up the river to the inside of the Faaroa Valley.  Pass silently through luscious vegetation invading the banks of this enchanting river. Unlike other bays in Polynesia, Faaroa does not cut through the mountains, it is an alluvial plain at the end of the hills, through which a pretty river flows slowly to the sea. The river’s mouth, which is 100 ft wide, is delimited by two islets. The area is relatively deserted and untouched.

Other must see areas around Raitatea: the bays of Faatemu and Faaroa, Opoa Bay around the sacred grounds of Taputapuatea, Motu Nao Nao, on the island's South side, etc.

You shouldn't leave Raiatea without visiting Taputapuatea: Polynesia's largest Marae. Dedicated to Oro, the god of war, human sacrifices used to take place there. The Tainuu Marae, on the island's West Coast, was built to look like Taputapuatea. The Protestant Church was built with stone blocks taken from the marae. The Haapapara Valley, behind the village of Opoa, hides many petroglyphs. And for hiking fans, the mountains here are a real treasure with many hikes in search of a diversified fauna.

You can hike or a 4x4 excursion to Mt. Temehani, in search of the famous Tiare Apetahi, the island's flower emblem, that you are not allowed to pick anyway as it is protected, and all the surroundings. In Faaroa, a visit to the botanical garden and the magnificent vista point from the road across the island.

For the diving fans, not far from the neighboring island of Tahaa, facing the port Uturoa, divers are invited to the Octopus Grotto, Apoo Fee, in the Vaitoare lagoon, between 30 and 50 m deep, this 120-meter long underwater gallery features two caves with ceilings covered with stalactites, an extraordinary hiding place for all local marine species. But relax, nobody ever saw giant octopuses or ferocious sharks there. There are also several diving spots all around the island. It is up to you to find them.
