Lost Your Ring on Taha'a?
Vanilla Island and the Coral Garden Drift — Recovery Across Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts and the Lagoon Motu.
Taha'a is the "Vanilla Island" of French Polynesia — a quieter sister to nearby Bora Bora, sharing its lagoon with Raiatea. The island is famous for its vanilla plantations, pearl farms, and the Coral Garden — a shallow lagoon channel between two motu where snorkelers drift through a corridor of living coral. Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts (formerly Le Taha'a Island Resort) sits on its own motu in the lagoon. Ring Seekers Taha'a reaches the resort and the Coral Garden via boat from Raiatea or direct from Bora Bora and works the lagoon and motu zones.
Operating Across Taha'a
Taha'a has no airport — access is via Air Tahiti to Raiatea (a few hours from Papeete) and then a 30-minute boat transfer across the shared Raiatea-Taha'a lagoon. Le Taha'a by Pearl arranges its own boat transfers; for ring-recovery missions we coordinate with the resort's boat or use the public ferry.
Coverage extends to Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts (Motu Tautau), the famous Coral Garden between Motu Tautau and Motu Maharare, the Taha'a main island foreshore (vanilla plantations, pearl farms), and the lagoon snorkel zones at multiple resort properties.
