Excursions and Recommended Activities
Here’s just a sampling of the many activities and excursions you can do while in French Polynesia. This list is by no means exhaustive! If you are interested in something that isn’t listed here, by all means ask. Some activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling are pretty much “universal.”

Some activities can be pre-booked as part of your travel package. Helicopter tours, deep sea fishing, and scuba diving, whale/dolphin watching can be coordinated or advised once your travel package is confirmed and under deposit. In Rangiroa and Tikehau, all activities are handled through the hotel concierge once you arrive rather than in advance. Parasailing (Bora Bora) and horseback riding (Huahine) are handled through the hotel activities desk. Please note that some activities in Tahiti are seasonal, and tour operators don’t necessarily operate tours year-round. This list in no way guarantees the availability of these activities.
