Uturoa is a scenic town located on a French Polynesian island called Raiatea. It is a very convenient yacht charter location as Raiatea is located between two major islands of French Polynesia, Tahiti and Bora-Bora. However, the boat rental from Uturoa gives you numerous sailing possibilities; you can, for example, visit different island each day of your cruise. Moreover, monohull or catamaran charter on Raiatea gives you an opportunity to discover hidden gems of the region, astonishing places which are inaccessible for large cruising ships.

Uturoa offers you numerous places in which you can relax and have fun as it brims over with clubs, bars and excellent local restaurants as well as white-sand beaches. Even though Uturoa is one of the major communes in French Polynesia, you will certainly not feel overwhelmed with its turmoil but inversely - its atmosphere is rather relaxed and laid-back. Marae Taputapuatea, located nearby, was a religious site for the locals around 10th and 11th century.  It is worth-visiting as the remains are well-preserved as well as the history of this place is truly fascinating.

Raiatea’s hilly landscapes and rich fauna make perfect scenery for hiking excursions. One of the main attractions is climbing the wonderful Tapioi Hill which can be a bit of a challenge but the view from the mountain will take your breath away. We also highly recommend you visit some local villages and admire large plantations, where you can taste fresh fruit or spices and talk to the friendly inhabitants. Moreover, an impressive botanical garden is located on this small island.

The blue lagoon that surrounds Raiatea and the nearby islands is one of a kind; you will surely fall in love with it. Its waters are perfect for any kinds of water sports, such as snorkeling, swimming, paddling, kite surfing or kayaking. There are also many spectacular diving sites: if you are a fan, you cannot omit the Nordby shipwreck, Miri Miri and Teavapiti.

As you may see, Uturoa is a really convenient yacht charter location in French Polynesia. It is not only due to its charming beauty but also because of the fact that it is situated near other spectacular islands of the Pacific Ocean, such as Tahiti. Tahiti is full of attractions as it has both historic landmarks and amazing natural landscapes. When you are in Tahiti, you cannot omit visiting architectural gems, such as the Presidential Palace or the Tomb of King Pomare V as well as some of the interesting museums that can be found there: the Black Pearl Museum, the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands or the Paul Gauguin Museum. We also highly recommend you experience hiking or biking on scenic trails in Papenoo Valley or Fautaua Valley.

Yachtoo offers you almost 20 luxury catamarans and monohulls available for charter in Uturoa. You can also choose some extra facilities to make your living aboard as comfortable and safe as it is possible; these are for example a skipper or a cook. You will see that a yacht rental is the best way to spend vacation in spectacular and exotic French Polynesia.
