See the best of Tahiti in seven days. Lush harbours. Crystal coves. Pristine white beaches. A welcoming tropical paradise awaits. There's no better way to explore the island nation of Tahiti than being aboard your own graceful sailing yacht - Polynesian tradewinds carrying you from one natural beauty to another. Embark on drift snorkeling excursions among coral gardens in Tahaa. Explore the majestic palm-fringed Three Coconut Trail in Moorea. And indulge in Bora Bora's kaleidoscope of colored seas and stunning white-sand beaches.

Complimentary Event - Bora Bora Private Celebration!
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.

Tahiti Cruise Island Highlights:

Moorea
Have you seen the musical, South Pacific? Then the easiest way to describe Moorea is to tell you that it was probably the inspiration for James Michener's Bali Hai. It's what most people dream of when they picture a gorgeous South Seas island - jagged green volcanic peaks, a shallow blue lagoon bedded by white sands, tiny motus (islets) offshore. The island's 12,000 residents are keenly aware they have an image to uphold, so they buried all the unsightly power cables to give you seamless views of paradise. Miles of coconut-colored beaches and that postcard-perfect lagoon make this the place for watersports of all kinds. Or if you're feeling ambitious, climb to the top of Magic Mountain or Belvedere Lookout for insane views

Raiatea
Raiatea, known as The Sacred Island, is located just across the lagoon from Taha'a and shares the same barrier reef. (Legend claims the two were a single island until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them.) It used to be the center of religion and culture in the Society Islands. Taputapuatea, on the southeast coast, was once the most important marae around, the place where kings from the neighboring islands would gather for important ceremonies. Uturoa, the main town, reminds some people of Papeete in its younger days with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the only navigable river in the islands, the Fa'aroa. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows only here.

Bora Bora
Half island, half atoll, Bora Bora has one of the most extraordinary lagoons in the world. The varying depths paint the water every shade of sapphire, topaz, and aquamarine, while the volcanic mass of Mount Otemanu stands guard in a uniform of jade and malachite. Add to this tropical fish whose names begin with clown, parrot, butterfly, and peacock, and it's not surprising that the lagoon is famous for its snorkeling, or that artists break their brushes in frustration trying to capture it all. Play scavenger hunt and go in search of turtle petroglyphs, World War II canons, and the monument to Alain Gerbault, the first Frenchman to sail his yacht around the world. (He passed through Tahiti in 1926 and like so many others, returned to live in Polynesia.)
