Dive and save

Tahiti Travel Connection is giving Australian travellers the chance to explore the superb reefs around the idyllic yet little-known French Polynesian island of Manihi, with a seven night package offering FREE breakfasts, dinners and accommodation upgrades.

The new package features a Discovery Diving Pass that enables beginners and advanced divers to experience the species-rich reefs, considered to be some of the world’s most scenic sites for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Highlights include clear shallow waters, steep oceanic drop-offs of up to 150m, amphitheatres of unusual corals, wind-and wave-protected sites, moderate currents and extraordinary water clarity.

Large schools of tropical fish abound, in addition to reef sharks, wrasse, grouper, eel, tuna, barracuda, giant jackfish and many other species. Manihi is also a favourite meeting place for eagle and manta rays, with solitary rays and groups feeding year-round in 9m of water.

In addition, the region is home to lucrative black pearl farms and 57 species of birds including lorikeet, kingfisher and monarch flycatcher.

The seven night package includes:

  • return economy air travel ex Australia with Air Tahiti Nui, including taxes
  • return flights Papeete to Manihi
