While this year Polynesian-owned catamaran Haumana continues her voyages in Rangiroa and Tikehau, some changes are coming up for year 2008.

Polynesian-owned catamaran Haumana continues her voyages in Rangiroa and Tikehau, but some changes are coming up for year 2008.

The Haumana will no longer call in Tikehau but remain in Rangiroa all year round. The itinerary has been completely revised to offer the best of Rangiroa on 3, 4 or 7-night itineraries; allowing each and everyone to discover this incredible atoll at their own pace.

Always aiming at improving the quality of service and guests' experience, Haumana Cruises will go down from 17 cabins to 12 cabins.

The Haumana has recently been through a 3-week dry dock for refurbishing and also a complete change of the whole engine and air conditionned system.

But most of all, Haumana Cruises will launch dive charters and fishing charters. For the adventurous, whether fishing or diving, Rangiroa has a lot to offer. Known worldwide as one of the best diving spots, you will have the opportunity to explore Rangiroa's deep blues through 3 or 4-night dive charters, all dive equipment and assistance included.

As for the fishing, Rangiroa will bring some exciting challenges. Fly-fishing, trolling, hand-line fishing, there are many possibilities with Haumana Cruises. Rangiroa is also one of the best places for bonefish, this special one being well-known for its combativity. All equipment is provided onboard as well as the assistance of a fishing guide.

Sail aboard the Haumana luxury yacht and enjoy the freedom and intimacy of a small 17 cabin luxury cruise. For surfing enthusiasts, this private chartered luxury yacht offers a dream surf trip in the heart of Polynesia.

Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, to name a few world champions that have already been on a surf trip aboard the Haumana. Thanks to the Haumana's shallow hull, the Haumana has the ideal characteristics to approach the most withdrawn spots, in the Tuamotus from November to March or on the other islands struck by the swell of the south the remainder of the year.

This private cruise surf trip offers everything a surfer wishes for and more: the pleasure of riding some of the best waves and have the comfort of a private luxury yacht.
