In Tahiti, sea turtles are more than just ocean dwellers. These majestic creatures are an essential part of our marine ecosystem, but they are now endangered. What if you could be part of the solution? 🌊🐢

The Te Mana O Te Moana association invites you to a unique experience with a one-hour guided tour on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa. It’s a great opportunity to get a closer look at these fascinating creatures, learn about their life cycle, and understand the threats they face in our oceans.

L’histoire de Te Mana O Te Moana


Te Mana O Te Moana n’est pas qu’une simple association, c’est un véritable défenseur de la faune marine polynésienne. En partenariat avec la DIREN, l’association prend soin des tortues en détresse : récupérées, soignées, et réhabilitées pour qu’elles puissent retourner librement dans les eaux cristallines de notre lagon.

What you will discover during your visit:


Protecting sea turtles: Raising awareness about the importance of their conservation.
The threats they face: Plastics, nets, and other dangers that hinder their survival.
Powerful reminders: Plastics and other objects found in their bodies, revealing their daily struggle.

The tour begins with a presentation of all the turtle species found in Polynesia, followed by an exploration of the InterContinental lagoon to observe these magnificent creatures.
