探索塔哈亚
塔哈(有时拼写为 Taha'a)是背风群岛之一,位于法属波利尼西亚的社会群岛内。塔哈阿岛通常与附近的赖阿特阿岛(Raiatea)同属一个珊瑚礁环绕的群岛。塔哈阿岛面积 90 平方公里,呈花朵形状,人口约 5,000 人,因出口珍珠和香草而闻名,香草也为塔哈阿岛赢得了特别芳香的美誉!
塔哈岛上的潜水很受欢迎,因为它被郁郁葱葱的珊瑚礁环绕。这里有许多豪华潜水度假村和极少的潜水中心,但在小镇鲁蒂亚(Ruutia)也有一家。这里的海水平静、温暖、清澈,是初学者潜水课程的热门地点。船宿是在多个法属波利尼西亚岛屿潜水的流行方式,有几艘船从塔希提岛经过塔哈阿岛。
塔哈亚岛的潜水亮点包括法属波利尼西亚唯一真正的沉船诺德比号(The Nordby)、Ceran Pass 等热门漂流点以及鲨鱼、海龟和蝠鲼等丰富的海洋生物。
