Description
Escape to the serene islands of French Polynesia with a luxurious 8 day/7 night itinerary, immersing yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Taha'a. Your journey begins in Tahiti, the largest island in the region, where you'll be greeted with warm smiles and fragrant flower leis. If time allows, we recommend spending some time getting to know the Tahitian culture before venturing off to other islands.
Next, embark on a 45-minute flight to Bora Bora, often hailed as the jewel of the South Pacific. Upon arrival, you'll be mesmerized by the iconic Mount Otemanu rising majestically from the crystal-clear waters. Spend your days snorkeling amidst vibrant coral reefs, swimming with tropical fish, or simply lounging on the pristine white-sand beach of your resort. During your three-night stay, enjoy a half-day snorkel tour that will bring you up close and person with black-tip sharks and stingrays. At the end of each day, retreat to your Garden Villa with private pool.
After days of bliss in Bora Bora, venture off the beaten path to the secluded island of Taha'a, known as the "Vanilla Island" for its fragrant vanilla plantations. Here, you'll experience the epitome of luxury and tranquility at an exclusive Relais & Châteaux resort nestled among swaying palm trees and lush gardens. Immerse yourself in the island's calm and serenity by choosing to do as much or as little as you please during your stay. Not to be missed are the Coral Gardens which are situated adjacent to the resort and a perfect place to drift snorkel through schools of tropical fish and other marine life! Included in your package is a half-day 4x4 tour of Taha’a where you’ll visit a vanilla plantation, distillery and a pearl farm. During your stay at Le Taha’a, be sure to try the Poisson Cru, a delicate balance of raw fish marinated in fresh coconut milk, drizzled with lime juice and served with julienned vegetables. Divine! Your home each evening is an iconic Taha’a Overwater Suite for three nights with your own private deck and access to the lagoon.
As your journey draws to a close, take one last dip in the crystal-clear lagoon from your overwater suite, basking in the warm tropical sun before bidding farewell to the paradise that is French Polynesia. With memories of azure waters, fragrant flowers, and genuine hospitality, your adventures across Tahiti, Bora Bora and Taha’a will remain etched in your heart forever.
