French Polynesia's Windward islands offer world class sailing and private boat chartering and touring opportunities and the island of Tetiaroa is a favorite among particular yachtsmen.
It's close proximity to Tahiti, yet total solitude and immense beauty also make it a popular and exotic sailing and touring destination among travelers.
If you're not sailing there on your own boat, you'll be choosing among Tetiaroa's sailing charters and yachting choices that make it their business to take you to the island.
For most, this island defines more than any others an "island paradise" and is a wonderful boating and sailing experience in Tahiti Polynesian waters.
The breathtaking beauty of it's white sand beaches in contrast with the rich azure blue waters of a thousand colors will not be soon forgotten...
This page is your starting guide for exploring the pristine waters
of Tetiaroa and beyond.
SAILING & BOAT CHARTERS
Most companies offering Tetiaroa as a sailing or boat charter destination operate out of Moorea or the island of Tahiti.
Typical tours involve cruising around the island for a relaxing afternoon while snorkeling, picture taking, swimming and picnicking, or visiting the hotel there. Most are one or two day excursions unless you're on a package island charter with extended lodging arrangements.
Below is a list of sailing and boat charter companies
