The lagoon, the mountain, the encounter
Raivavae is best discovered slowly, on foot, by bike or by canoe. We offer guided outings - and often join in ourselves.
Our activities
Lagoon Day trip to Motu Piscine
A day at Motu Piscine, in the heart of Raivavae's lagoon, where the water barely reaches your waist. Picnic included.
Cycling Bicycle rental by the day
The best way to discover the island: rent a bike and explore Raivavae at your own pace.
Lagoon Boat trip in the lagoon
A fishing outing or a simple cruise in Raivavae's lagoon. Bring your own fishing gear if possible.

Around the island
The road around Raivavae runs 21 kilometres - short enough to cycle in a day, long enough to linger for an afternoon.
Mont Hiro
The island's highest point. The climb is earned, but from up there all of Raivavae unfolds in a single glance - the lagoon, the motu and the pass.
The memory in stone
Beyond their natural beauty, these islands hold the traces left by the ancestors. They tell the story of the Mā'ohi, the Polynesian people who lived in harmony with their environment.
Fancy a day out?
We organise boat trips and guides from the guesthouse. Let's talk about it before you arrive.
