Snorkel· Ua Pou· French Polynesia: Tuamotus, Marquesas, Gambier & Australs
Vaiehu Sea Caves and Point Snorkel
9° 23.1′ S · 140° 7.8′ W · approximate
Great snorkelling and diving off the western point of Vaiehu Bay, with sea caves to explore on the eastern side.
Practical
Coordinate approximate: the western point of the bay, offset from Migration's anchorage waypoint. Migration (Mar 2024) reported both sites. Only in calm conditions: swell surges into the caves. Water clarity collapses when a big swell arrives (Nakia 2009). Noonsite also points to snorkelling and diving along Ua Pou's western coast.
Best for
Caves and fish straight from the boat
