Te best course of action is to just surrender to the considerable charms of this island. With so many things to do and see, you will easily fill your two days here. First, there’s the water. Dazzling, warm and inviting, Bora Bora’s lagoon offers a cinematic below-the-surface experience for diving and snorkeling. Above: sailing, kayaking, jet boating, waverunner tours—the list goes on and on.
Te reality is, you’ll have to dry off at some point. Guided hiking, 4x4 excursions, exploring ancient temples—this list goes on and on as well.
Te Bora Bora Off-Road Adventure excursion embraces this iconic island's natural beauty in an exciting exploration of the road less traveled. Highlights include driving through the small town of Vaitape, seeing cannons from WWII, and traveling along Bora Bora's north shore for a visit to the lush valley of Fa'anui. Te journey concludes with spectacular views and photo opportunities of Fa'anui Bay.
It may surprise you that an island so vibrant by day is, by contrast, very quiet after sundown. Brace yourself for a ravishing sunset. It’s hard to imagine a setting more conducive to romance.
Taha’a [Motu Mahana] You’ll know it’s near by the intoxicating scent of Tahitian vanilla in the air (Eighty percent of
French Polynesian vanilla is grown here). Te tranquil island of Taha’a is not a mirage, but seems like one. Volcanic hillsides burst with banana, watermelon and pineapple. Nature’s bounty is matched by the opportunity for adventure. Accessible only by boat, you’ll see the mythical island of Bora Bora from the northwest coast; a stone’s throw across the lagoon, the tiny island of Raiatea gives a friendly wave.
Just offshore of Taha’a lies Motu Mahana, A motu is a tiny island, and Mahana is Te Gauguin’s own private paradise, exclusive to her guests. Beneath swaying palm trees, the day is yours to create. Snorkel surrounded by Technicolor fish. Grab a kayak for a bit of exploring. Ashore, you may find a game of volleyball or watch your hosts, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins, demonstrate how to open a coconut or tie a pareo. Indulge in an overwater massage. And when the mood strikes, a sumptuous barbecue feast awaits, complete with cocktails from the floating bar.
Moorea (OVERNIGHT) Tere are no two ways about it—French Polynesia is home to some of the most stunning locales on Earth. What you will discover is that Moorea has a beauty uniquely its own. It shares the same attributes as other islands. Crystal-clear blue lagoon? Check. Stunning landscape? Check. Off-the-charts snorkeling and diving, ample
opportunities for adventure on land or sea? Check, check, check.
Immerse yourself in this natural wonderland on the Dolphin Watching Expedition. Tis combination eco-tour and research expedition led by world-renowned dolphin and whale expert Michael Poole focuses on wild, free-ranging dolphins within Moorea’s reef. Accompanying Poole’s fascinating commentary about their remarkable life and society at sea, you’ll see schools of acrobatic spinner dolphins playing against Moorea’s dramatic beauty. Time permitting, you may be able to experience the dolphin's view of the island with a swim or snorkel directly from the boat.
PAPEETE, Tahiti And so you return to where it began: Papeete. Although it has been less than two weeks since you first set sail, this journey has created a lifetime’s worth of experiences and memories. Enjoy one last night onboard your floating home before disembarking in the morning.
