10 Nights Papeete to Papeete

Steep mountains descend into protected bays of azure blue and emerald green in our first island encounter - untouristed unspoiled Huahine. Then you'll discover the Cradle of Polynesian Civilization, Raiatea, the center of royalty, religion and culture. In the remote Tuamotus, Rangiroa is the archetype of heaven in the South Seas: massed coconut palms with the roar of the surf crashing over the reef. The colors seem brighter here - even underwater since visibility is up to 150 feet! You'll also marvel at Bora Bora's multi-hued lagoon. Consider our overnight option at a luxurious hotel, where you can revel in the dramatic splendour of the island from an overwater Bungalow. Next comes a beach barbeque on our own private island of Motu Mahana - which means it's your own private island for the day. It's uninhabited except for fellow guests, and those wonderful Gauguines who welcome you in song. Did we save the best for last? You'll have two days to decide when we call at hauntingly beautiful Moorea with its spectacular bays.
