Sample of Activities and Excursions |
Please Note: these excursions can only be included as part of a package. Not available for individual sales
Fishing
Sport fishing charter is available in all the islands, in various size
fishing boats, from 20 foot center consoles, to 45' sportsfishers. Any
of these daily charters can easily be arranged from your hotels. Costs
vary depending on boat size and location, and start at about $350 per
day. Fishing takes place outside the lagoons, trawling for small tuna,
mahi mahi, yahoo and various types of billfish. This is not as good as
Mexico or Australia, but more like Hawaii, with comparable type of fish.
Fly fishing or fishing from shore or in the lagoons is almost nonexistent
due to the shallowness of the lagoons and the type of fish present.

Private Picnic - Etienne’s Tour, Patrick’s, or Keishi Tour will arrange these outings. I highly recommend Keishi (ask for Pierrot, Phone 79 26 56). He sets up a table in the lagoon water next to a private Motu. Lunch features Lobster, Crab, Steak, Chicken, Fruit and Champagne. Snorkeling around the Island, Shark and Ray Feeding, Manta Ray viewing and whatever else your heart desires. These run around $500.00 for two, plus $100.00 for each additional person. The operator will usually pick you up at your hotel around 9:30am and drop you off at 3:00pm.
