The fauna of the Marquesas is very different from the rest of French Polynesia, with the reef manta ray and the scalloped hammerhead shark as "stars".
The different habitats are home to multiple varieties of fish (perch, trevally, tuna, barracuda, riflefish, moray eel, pipefish, etc.), crustaceans (sea urchin, lobster, shrimp, etc.), octopus and nudibranchs.
In addition, it is rich in endemic species such as the dragon moray eel, the Strasbourg damselfly, the marbled ray, the Marquesan grouper and many others.
Very full of fish and full of small and big surprises, the Marquesan waters are at 28°C all year round with visibility of up to 30 meters.
The abundant marine life allows for beautiful observations while sailing as well as snorkeling.
Every day is an opportunity to encounter a ballet of manta rays, a pod of spinner dolphins and with a little luck a pod of Electra's dolphins.
