Tapu'amu offers several ways to explore rum, catering to different interests. Domaine Pari Pari combines a tour of the distillery and oil mill with a tasting afterward; at Mana’o’s tasting fare, you can choose from three varieties of agricultural rum. A different kind of activity is available nearby at Jardin de Corail, a snorkeling area between Motu Tautau and Motu Maharare. This lets you decide whether to include a tour, a tasting, or snorkeling in your travel plans.

Discover rum in different ways

Domaine Pari Pari is in the Tapuamu district. The operator offers free daily tours of the distillery and oil mill, followed by a rum tasting. Tours are available in French or English. This format combines a visit to two facilities with a tasting. Since the operator states that tours are available daily, check the current visitor arrangements before you arrive.

Visitor information published for 2025 mentions a rum distillery Pari Pari jetty on the north side of Tapuamu Bay, with an outrigger canoe bar serving rum and tapas. Here, the focus is on pairing rum with tapas, rather than touring the facilities. If you would like to include this offering in your plans, check in advance whether the bar is currently operating.

At Mana’o’s tasting fare opposite the Tapuamu wharf, you can sample white, amber, and aged agricultural rum. The three descriptions offer a choice by color and age. If you want to focus on specific rum varieties during a tasting, Mana’o offers a clear option; Pari Pari, by contrast, combines a tasting with a guided tour.

Which rum experience suits your trip?

The type of visit is key when choosing between the options: Pari Pari combines a tour of two facilities with a tasting, Mana’o focuses on specific types of rum, and the bar also serves tapas. Pari Pari lists daily availability, free tours, and tours in French and English. These details can help you choose an option based on your interests. The visitor information for the bar dates to 2025, so check that it is currently operating before planning a visit.

Snorkeling nearby

Jardin de Corail offers a different experience from the rum venues. The snorkeling area is between Motu Tautau and Motu Maharare, close to the destination. The two motu provide a specific geographic reference to help you place the site in your plans. Snorkeling conditions can vary, so take this into account when planning a visit. The area is a snorkeling option in its own right, in addition to the rum-related offerings. If snorkeling is important to your trip, check the conditions before making a firm plan to visit.
