Afterward, enjoy some free time to explore Moorea at your own pace before you depart after dinner, setting course for Raiatea.
Early in the morning, sail across the lagoon to reach nearby Raiatea, which translates to "faraway heaven" and "sky with soft light". Originally known as Havai'i, Raiatea is considered the homeland of the ancient Polynesians. You can have a variety of optional activities to choose from, such as: Faaroa River and Motu beach break, or visit the Anapa family Pearl farm. Overnight in port.
Noon arrival in Taha'a, which shares a magnificent lagoon with Raiatea Island. As you anchor in Taha'a, enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and watersports from the swimming platform in her beautiful sapphire waters! The fertile island is covered with banana, watermelon, and coconut groves. The island also acts as a vast natural greenhouse for the treasured Tahitian vanilla orchid. An optional visit to the island, including a vanilla plantation and a rum distillery, while enjoying some snorkeling. Or take a 4X4 safari tour around. Late-night departure to Bora Bora. Overnight at sea.
Without a doubt, Bora Bora reigns supreme as the crown jewel of the South Pacific, holding the spotlight as French Polynesia's undisputed star. Today, experience the essence of Bora Bora with a unique excursion aboard Le Truck, a vibrant journey lasting approximately 2.5 hours (included in the cruise fares).
Climb aboard this colorful chariot as it guides you through Bora Bora's landscapes, passing coconut groves and quaint villages nestled along the shoreline. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Tahitian history, traditions, and cultures as your knowledgeable guide narrates the 22-mile road encircling this legendary island. Explore the villages of Farepiti, Faanui, and Anau, each adorned with ancient "Marae" shrouded in mystery. As your adventure unfolds, be captivated by the breathtaking vistas from Matira Point, a vantage point that offers unparalleled panoramas of paradise. Overnight in port.
One mere day in Bora Bora doesn't suffice! Whether you choose to explore at your own pace or join the meticulously crafted optional shore excursions, seize the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime—late-night departure to Huahine.
Huahine, once home to Tahitian royalty, is considered the cradle of Polynesian culture. The two islands maintain the largest concentration of ancient marae (temples) in French Polynesia, some of which are believed to date back to around 700 AD. Huahine is a vast tropical jungle teeming with coconut plantations, vanilla orchids, banana groves, breadfruit trees, and watermelon fields. An optional half-day tour takes you around the island to visit the small villages of Maeva, an archaeological site, and a vanilla plantation, or visit a private motu for a picnic and snorkeling experience.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
