Haamene Bay
Ha'amene
A deep, fjord-like bay cutting into the middle of Tahaa, framed by green mountains. It serves as a sailing anchorage and is the highlight of the island’s ring road.
Haamene Bay almost splits Tahaa in two. At the head of the bay lies Haamene, the island’s main village, and along the shore you will find small churches, vanilla gardens and guesthouses. The ring road around the island is about 70 kilometers long. As it crosses the mountain pass above the bay, you get views over the bay and the lagoon, making it a classic stop on four-wheel-drive tours. Sailing visitors often spend the night in the bay. The island has no large hotels and no public transport, so book a four-wheel-drive tour or rent a car in Uturoa and take a boat across.
