activities at the pension
- Kayaks to venture into the lagoon and for the bravest, go to the bird "motu". You may come across turtles, leopard or stingrays, and stingrays on your way. When you arrive at the motu, if it is the season, you can observe the blacktip shark nursery (a harmless species). The surroundings of the motu are very rich in small, brightly colored fish. You will never tire of this exceptional spectacle.
- Diving equipment is provided: fins, masks, snorkels
- An introduction to the Va’a (traditional canoe) is available upon request.
- A tour of the garden containing several tropical and endemic plants. QR-codes will guide you in your visit on the knowledge of plants and legends associated with them. An interactive QUIZ for the youngest will allow them to test their knowledge.
- You can also take the small path starting from the beach and leading you to the top of the property, passing through a small orchard, a fa’apu (vegetable garden), and stopping there to enjoy the view.
