Board the Aqua Tiki II<\/strong> and discover the pristine atolls of the Tuamotu archipelago in a way few travelers experience. On this exclusive dive trip, you will sail past remote lagoons, small Polynesian villages and world-famous dive sites such as Fakarava and Toau. With only eight guests on board, you’ll enjoy a personal atmosphere, plenty of space and a relaxed pace of travel. <\/p>

The dives in French Polynesia are among the most spectacular in the world. In the famous passes of the atolls you make impressive drift dives among huge schools of gray reef sharks, barracudas, napoleon fish and manta rays. Depending on the season, you may even encounter hammerhead sharks, tiger sharks, whale sharks or humpback whales. Thanks to the clear water and strong currents, the marine life here is exceptionally rich. Dives are carefully planned around the tide, so that you can take full advantage of the best visibility and the most beautiful underwater encounters. <\/p>

What makes this trip extra special is the combination of adventurous diving and exploring Polynesia above water. Between dives you will visit deserted motu’s (coral islands), traditional villages and pearl farms. You will sail through turquoise lagoons, enjoy barbecues on the beach and get to know the local culture and cuisine. This trip is not just about diving, but the complete experience of French Polynesia. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Best travel time for a diving vacation to French Polynesia<\/b><\/h5>

French Polynesia has a tropical climate, but the islands vary in climate depending on their location relative to the equator and the South Pole. The dry season from May to October<\/strong> is generally the best time for diving, when the weather is cooler, drier and more pleasant for divers. However, the ideal travel time may vary by island group depending on their specific climate. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Availability of the Aqua Tiki II liveaboard<\/h5>

French Polynesia is a special destination that you should book well in advance. Keep in mind 1 to 2 years<\/strong> in advance. It is more the rule than the exception that the boat is already booked up a year in advance.<\/p>

You can also choose a longer or shorter itinerary on the boat. Check the FAQ at the bottom of the page to see what itineraries are available. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The water temperature fluctuates little throughout the year, which makes Fakarava such a fine diving destination. There is also virtually no thermocline, so the temperature remains very constant during the dives. In the summer months a 3mm or shorty is sufficient, in the winter you can bring a 5mm. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
