Description
On arrival in Papeete, you’ll already feel you’ve escaped the ordinary and landed in an exotic destination. Spend one night at Le Tahiti Resort & Spa where you will immediately feel relaxed and serene. Be sure to step out onto the black sand beach that lines the resort’s waterfront before heading out! If time allows, we recommend a trip to the hustle and bustle of downtown Papeete where you’ll find the public market filled with all kinds of tempting wares. Our favorites are the Tahitian cultured pearls, colorful pareo and the deliciously scented Monoi Oil.
A 45-minute flight from Tahiti takes you to Raiatea where you’ll be met and transferred to the nearby marina where you will be introduced to your skipper and crew. The next three nights will be spent on your private yacht charter vessel, exploring the many coves and motus of Taha’a and Bora Bora.
The lives of Tahitians are intertwined with water. They have long mastered the invisible highways that criss-cross the Pacific Ocean. The waters around The Islands of Tahiti are among the greatest in the world for sailing due to the steady trade winds, perfect climate, proximity to islands and the many options for anchorages. Enjoy dropping into the quiet corners of the lagoons and taking in the serene setting that your overnight anchorage affords. Also included in your three nights onboard is a visit to a pearl farm and to a vanilla plantation.
On Bora Bora, delight in the stunning setting of Le Bora Bora Resort & Spa on a palm covered motu with perfect views of Mt. Otemanu. This idyllic paradise as your home for the next four nights. We invite you to sit back and relax in the private setting of your Garden Villa with its private plunge pool and inviting sitting area. Your included shark & ray snorkel tour will bring you up close with some of the many tropical fish and other marine life in the lagoon.
All too soon, it will be time to return to the Bora Bora airport for your Air Tahiti flight back and your onward flight back to Los Angeles with Air Tahiti Nui.
