Hibiscus Restaurant (Haamene Bay)
16° 38.7′ S · 151° 27.5′ W · approximate
Long-time yachtie hangout at the entrance of Haamene Bay, with a bar, a pool table and its own dock and moorings.
Practical
Position approximate, plotted beside ZMR de Vaiapua where the brief locates it. Two private moorings and a dock; car hire (87 79 28 81). Older guides say VHF 68 for moorings. A small grocery is nearby. Noonsite warns that some private moorings on Taha'a are unsuitable for yachts, so check the buoy before leaving the boat unattended; the Dream Yacht base guide lists Hotel Hibiscus among restaurants with their own moorings. Overnight use still counts against the ZMR de Vaiapua quota (2 boats, 48 h; arrêté 911 CM).
Best for
Sundowners and dinner with a private mooring and dock at the mouth of Haamene Bay
