Description
Escape to the serene islands of French Polynesia with a luxurious 9-night/10-day 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. Spend your time getting to know the Tahitian culture, shopping in the hustle and bustle of the downtown public market, Le Marche, dipping your toes in the ocean along the black sand beach and indulging in traditional Tahitian cuisine. Included in your adventure is a half-day mountain safari that will take you deep into the heart of Tahiti of the Papenoo Valley.
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. In the evenings, dine under the stars and savor fresh seafood delicacies prepared with Tahitian, French, Chinese and Italian flair. During your stay, take a half-day snorkel tour that will bring you up close and person with black-tip sharks and stingrays.
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! Indulge in sumptuous farm-to-table dining experiences, where each meal is infused with authentic Tahitian flavors. Be sure to try the resort’s Poisson Cru, a delicate balance of raw fish marinated in fresh coconut milk, drizzled with lime juice and served with julienned vegetables. Divine!
As your journey draws to a close, take one last dip in the crystal-clear lagoon from your overwater bungalow, 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, beckoning you to return to this idyllic corner of the world time and time again.
