DAY 1

Arrive Papeete, Tahiti. VIP greetings with flowers. Guests to be taken to Marina Taina. Afternoon visit to the Robert Wan museum.

DAY 2

Early morning steam to Moorea (15 miles). Moorea is Polynesia's second-most popular tourist attraction after Tahiti. Located a mere 12 miles (19 kilometers) west of the island of Tahiti, Moorea is a triangular shaped island encircled by a lagoon of translucent green, fringed by an azure blue Polynesian sea. Covering an area of 51 square miles, it is the only other major island in the Windward group of the Society Islands besides Tahiti. Enjoy water sports, visit to the Marae and Belvedere. Depart for evening trip to Huahine (90 miles).

DAY 3


Wake up Huahine and enjoy water activities and land excursions on 4x4 all terrain vehicles into the mountains. Huahine is, arguably, the most picturesque island in all of French Polynesia. With steep mountains descending into protected bays of azure blue and emerald green colors, the island is also one of the more geographically diverse of the Society Group. Also known as "The Garden Island" due to its abundance of lush green tropical foliage and wild jungle-like scenery, Huahine is one of the more interesting of the Society Islands to explore. There's also an abundance of long and beautiful white sandy beaches on Huahine... and the good news is that on this island, most of them are easily accessable for total quality beach and sun worshipping. Night voyage to Taha'a.

DAY 4

Taha'a produces 70-80% of all French Polynesia's vanilla. Because of the pervasive aroma of vanilla, Taha'a is known as the "Vanilla Island". Enjoy visiting the vanilla farms. You can also visit the famous Taha'a Island Resort Relais Chateaux. Tahaa's pearls are of also of exceptional quality so take advantage of the black pearl farms too.

DAY 5

Early morning sail to Raiata. Far less traveled than Bora Bora, Tahiti, or Moorea, these two fascinating islands offer the vacationer the experience of a true unspoiled French Polynesia.Visit the Marae of Taputapuatea, the oldest Marae of the Mahoi culture.

DAYS 6 & 7

Bora Bora island is possibly the single most famous island in all the world. The legends, mysteries, and romance associated with the words "Bora Bora" bring an almost mystical presence to the island. Spend two days in Bora Bora. Explore the history of World War II where the US military chose Bora Bora as a military South Pacific base. This island is predestined for snorkeling and scuba diving in and around its beautiful lagoon. Many species of sharks and rays inhabit the surrounding body of water. There are a few dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and also shark-feeding dives.

DAY 8

Fly back to Tahiti for international departures.
