Captain Cook spied Toau’s golden sands back in 1774. This effortlessly beautiful coral atoll has been beguiling sailors ever since. With just a handful of inhabitants – and a whole lot of coconuts – the action lies not above the waves, but below. Guests will see an endless UNESCO-protected coral garden on show.
Two peerless dives sites make Toau worth the trip alone. Pacific currents drift through the Otugi Pass. Crew will secure divers to a flexible mooring as silvertips and tuna funnel past. Visibility on the Anse Amyot Wall is second to none. Surgeonfish, butterfly fish, morays and grouper all join in the fun.

After a sunrise yoga session and breakfast, enjoy high speed exploration of the atoll on the Goldfish 36 tender. Visit local villages and learn about life on this remote atoll. Lunch on the pool deck, then a kitesurfing lesson and watersports from the swim platform. Improve your jetsurfing or standup-jetskiing. Evening cocktails and an early dinner before going ashore to the small nearby Motu for a starlit bonfire set up by the crew.

On your first day here, dive the north pass wall to descend to the canyons, home to a variety of shark species, giant moray eels and other sealife. after lunch on the observation deck, take a surf lesson at the pass, on a smaller swell, a perfect advance from your last session. Go for an afternoon hike along the coral shorelines of the motus. Sip cold cocktails in the spa pool before dinner.

Start the next day with an early morning surf session and introduction to stand up paddleboard (sup) yoga. Enjoy lunch on the observation deck, then dive the north pass. Later, explore these islands on a quadski adventure: see the local fishermen's village, learn to open coconuts and build a polynesia beach hut. after an early dinner, walk through the dense tropical brush in search of nocturnal giant coconut crabs.

Arrive early at Rangiroa after an overnight passage. Take a helicopter to Tikehau landing strip, where you will be collected by the Catalyst and taken to the surfbreak anchorage. Enjoy lunch on a deserted beach opposite the surfbreak. Relax on the beach or head out to snorkel the reef. Board the Catalyst and take the helicopter back to your yacht, where welcome cocktails await you on the Pool Deck.

After breakfast, explore the Blue Pools by jetski. Take a Kitesurfing lesson here too, then return to your yacht before lunch on the Pool Deck. Take the Goldfish 38 to dive the East Pass and discover an underwater wonderland of marine life. You might even get the chance to interact with a friendly Bottlenose dolphin.
