Cruises from Vairao

Vairao is a small port on the SW peninsula coast of Tahiti in French Polynesia in the South Pacific. The island of Tahiti is like a figure 8 – the smaller part called Tahiti Iti, or “little Tahiti.” (The main part of the island Tahiti Nui or “big Tahiti” is the location of the capital Pape’ete). Vairao port lies on the western coast of Tahiti Iti and is known as a significant site for experienced surfers, with long waves breaking over a coral reef – “perfect left-hander with a steep, hollow barrel at the take-off followed by a long wall for a few hundred metres”.
