Toast Polynesia with Heiva

As a Four Seasons guest, you'll join the celebrations one you board the Resort’s catamaran for the ride to Vaitape. Toast Heiva with cocktails in coconuts and sweet treats to the sound of ukulele music. Once at Place Tu Vavau, grab a locally-made cushion to place on your seat for extra comfort during the performances. With bespoke guidance and recommendations from your guide throughout Heiva, you'll experience the sights, sounds and flavours in the way you most desire.

Private Snorkel Adventure and Motu Lunch

Your private tour takes you to three incredible locations for underwater adventure: the Coral Garden, where you'll see colorful reef fish amid dreamlike coral structures; the shallow waters, where you'll interact with mesmerizing stingrays; and the Pacific Ocean, where schools of blacktip reef sharks and lemon sharks roam. Finish your day with a fresh lunch on your guide's private motu (island), where you'll enjoy a taste of authentic Polynesia.
