Experience Paradise by Sailing Yacht.
It's a match made in heaven, this. You on your pristine white ship, sails billowing, and these islands, so impossibly colorful, like a box of crayons gone mad. Wind Spirit is as at-home among Tahiti’s deserted motus and shallow lagoons as a tiare flower, and just as beautiful, furled or unfurled. Bliss knows no bounds. The sand massages your feet, warm water welcomes you like an old friend, ambition falls away as you watch the sun etch palm fronds on the beach. This is a place that is easy to love, difficult to leave, as so many before you have discovered. Come. Keep the promise you made to yourself so long ago.

Exclusivel Excursion Included with Windstar!
On each Tahiti cruise, Windstar will include a private event on Bora Bora - a Celebration Festival complete with dinner and entertainment!
Bora Bora is surrounded by a number of tiny islets called "motu" - and you will spend the evening on a secluded motu accompanied only by other Windstar guests. You will be welcomed to the motu with a traditional flower lei.

Your private feast on the beach promises to be extraordinary. Tender suckling pig will be slowly steamed in a traditional "ahima'a," a Tahitian earth oven. The oven is preheated with a wood fire. Then porous volcanic rock is scattered over the wood until it is completely covered. When the fire goes out, the rocks are leveled and the pig placed on top. Banana leaves are laid over the top to cover the ahima'a completely. Finally, earth is shoveled on top so no heat escapes and the pig cooks for up to four hours until the meat is so tender it almost melts in your mouth.
When your meal is complete and the stars begin to shine, the evening entertainment will begin. Dressed in loincloths, fire dancing experts will dazzle with high-speed acrobatic moves and throwing flames so hot you'll feel the warmth ten feet away.
