Overview

Aboard my va'a, I'll share with you my passion for traditional sailing. We'll set off in search of the wind to enjoy the sensations of gliding and adventure.

You'll be able to take part in the manoeuvres and steer the Va'a.
I'll share with you the stories of Polynesian sailors, their legends and my experiences at sea with traditional pirogues.

We'll have the chance to stop off at some of the most beautiful spots in Moorea's lagoon. While enjoying a unique setting to savour the many local fruits and snacks prepared for the outing.

I'd like to share with you the feeling of freedom I get when I take to the sea with Vaapiti!

Come and share my passion for traditional sailing aboard Vaapiti. The first double pirogue with sails approved in Polynesia.

Built by me in 4 years, you'll be able to discover my history and connect with the culture of the great Polynesian sailors.

You'll have the chance to learn traditional skills (hoisting the sails, steering the va'a) while stopping off in places steeped in history and rich in biodiversity (sandbanks, tropical fish, rays and sharks, motu, submerged tiki and a few secret spots).

On board, I'll bring a cool box full of fruit, cold drinks and local snacks.

The trip lasts between 4 and 5 hours. Morning (8am - midday) or afternoon (2pm - 6pm).

The trip is suitable for everyone and no sailing experience is required.

I will also share with you all the images taken during the outing (GoPro 7) ready to film if you wish.

See you soon for the Vaapiti adventure!
