  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I live 5mn from the only public beach in Raiatea and my piece of land is a real garden with big trees. We have a archaeological site very close and the lagoon is beautiful with a sunset view on bora bora. I am an early riser and organise my work depending on the tourism demand for tours but nowadays it is very scarce. I am specialised in sailing canoe and nature conservation.
