Often called the Vanilla Island, Taha’a is also known as Raiatea’s sister island, as they both share the same lagoon.
Taha’a is located 230km to the west of Tahiti and flights to Taha’a actually land on Raiatea. You are then transferred by boat to the nearby island of Taha’a.
Vanilla growing is the main activity on Taha’a and wherever you go, to the top of Mount Ohiri, around the winding island road or in to secluded bays, the sweet aroma of vanilla lingers heavily in the air. Taha’a produces more than 80% of Tahiti’s world famous vanilla.
We love the picturesque sandy islet motus scattered around Taha’a’s stunning lagoon. There are an array of pensions with white sand beaches and turquoise lagoon waters lapping at their bungalows! Taha’a is also home to the stunning five star Relais & Chateau Le Taha’a Island Resort & Spa.
Taha’a will suit those travellers looking for an island that has retained its authentic charm. Her attraction is her motus and the turquoise waters that surround them. The lagoon is teeming with marine life and snorkellers will revel in the clear and warm lagoon waters. Taha’a is a giant aquarium and you will delight in the abundance of fish, sharks, eels and coral on display.

We recently had a great family of 6 adventure to the West coast of Canada. Thankyou to Sam from the Entire Travel team who took all the planning hassles away from us. Everything was planned to perfection and ran to clockwork. Using the Trip Plan App made things so much easier for us with all booking info at our fingertips. It’s an adventure we will talk about for years to come.
Lisa planned and booked our trip to Bora Bora in October 2025. We stayed at the Intercontinental Thalasso in an OWB for 5 nights. She was very professional, helpful and knowledgable. Examples are: comparing different hotels vs price, avoiding high seasons and Monsoon seasons, flying outside of school holidays etc. Lisa also organised all of our pick-ups, transfers and layovers - resulting in a perfect holiday experience compared to DIY. Thanking Lisa at Entire Travel Group. Don
We had an fabulous trip to Canada and Alaska organized by the amazing Sam Treby. The flights, tours, hotels and pickups for our tours were all spot on. Sam couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable, we could not have asked for a better adviser.

The tiny island of Taha’a is home to a population of 5,220.
You can reach Taha'a by boat, as there are no airports on the island. Shuttle boats, seaplanes, and helicopters are also available near Raiatea.
Discover the wonders of Taha’a’s crystal-clear waters. You can go snorkelling and explore the coral gardens, which are a passage from the ocean barrier reef into the Taha’s inner lagoon. A deep-sea dive here will give you a first-hand experience of the island’s marine life from various fish species.
