Bora Bora is inevitable but only owes it to its lagoon. Tahaa and its wonders was one of our favorite places with the manta ray washing station, its pearl grove and its vanilla plantations a joy.

An amazing trip! David put us in contact with Clara who was an amazing captain and booking and discussing the boat and trip with them was a pleasure

What a fantastic adventure we had with Clara and L’Etoile! We had the pleasure of sailing 10 days with l’Etoile, experiencing Huahine, Raiatea, Taha’a and Bora Bora from the deck. Our Skipper, Clara, was such a pleasure to sail with. She went above and beyond to meet our wishes, booked all the sights and restaurants/roulottes we decided to go for, and took us to and from the shore whenever needed. On top of that, she was so lovely with our kids that continue to talk about her and all the things they did with her. She also taught us some sailing and included us in all the maneuvers and sail hoistings that are necessary on a sailing boat. We had a fantastic time on Clara’s boat and would recommend anyone that wants to try real sailing in French Polynesia to go with L’Etoile.

We really enjoyed the whole trip. At first, I was a bit worried about what it would be like sailing with the owner of the boat—whether we’d get along, etc. But it turned out to be perfect. Hakim was very patient and dedicated, and a big advantage was that he showed us amazing places since he knows this area perfectly. It was much easier than trying to discover everything on our own. He also arranged things like scooter rentals for us on the islands. I highly recommend it to everyone—and Hakim, thanks again.

The team at Sunsail were exceptional. Everything was very well organised and the boat in excellent condition. There were a few small issues with the boat, but the land team led by Sophie were fantastic. We really enjoyed the sailing in the area and we are sad to leave.

Bora Bora est un inévitable mais ne le doit qu'a son lagon. Tahaa et ses merveilles a été un de nos lieux préférés avec la station de lavage des raies manta, sa perleraie et ses vanillerais un bonheur.
