Sunsail Tahiti Base

The Sunsail base at Marina Apooiti lies in the northern part of Raiatea, the second largest island in French Polynesia and part of the Society Islands.  Marina Apooiti is the first marina to be developed on the island and is close to restaurants, shops and only five minutes from the airport.

Basic provisioning is available from a small grocery store very close to the base and a snack bar is open all day for breakfast or light lunches.  The Club House is situated on the dock for dinner.  Provisioning can however, also be booked and paid for in advance via Sunsail.

 The town of Uturoa is situated 2km away and has a supermarket, bank, hospital, drugstore and other amenities.  A car rental office is also situted here.

Rent a bicycle to discover the lush green walkways, waterfalls, grottos and hidden caverns of this fresh, tranquil island. Learn the ancestral secrets of Polynesia amidst authentic traditional culture. Let the friendly inhabitants here teach you their way of fishing and dancing!

Our base office hours are from 7.30 am to 5 pm.
