Day 1: Papeete, Tahiti | Embark

Your journey begins at the scenic port of Papeete, Society Islands, where you board the elegant M/Y Panorama II. Boarding time is at 3:00 p.m. Upon arrival, be greeted with warm hospitality, a refreshing welcome drink, and a delightful Welcome Dinner that sets the tone for the days ahead. As evening falls, depart Papeete and sail toward the enchanting island of Moorea.

Day 2: Moorea

While anchored in Moorea, enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and watersports directly from the swimming platform in the island’s crystal-clear sapphire waters. A freshly prepared lunch will refuel you for an afternoon of discovery.

Join an included 3.5-hour guided island tour, where your expert guide will share stories of Moorea’s rich history, vibrant culture, and unique ecology. Travel through the lush Opunohu Valley, ascend the slopes of Mt. Tohi’e’a, and take in the beauty of Cook’s and Opunohu Bays. The tour also includes a visit to the Moorea Fruit Juice Factory, where you can sample refreshing juices and liqueurs made from locally grown fruits such as pineapple, mango, coconut, papaya, ginger, and star fruit.

Afterward, enjoy some free time to explore Moorea at your own pace before you depart after dinner, setting course for Raiatea.

Day 3: 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.

Day 4: Taha'a

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.

Day 5: Bora Bora

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.

Day 6: Bora Bora

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.

Day 7: 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. Departure after lunch to Papeete. Overnight at sea. 

Day 8: Papeete, Tahiti | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
As the morning sun graces Papeete Port, you find yourself at the end of your voyage. Join for a final breakfast on board at 9 AM before disembarkation.

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.
