Suggested Tours
Secluded Tahiti & Rangiroa Tour
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary moves through three of French Polynesia's quieter islands, each reached only by boat or short inter-island flight, and each rarely appearing on a first-time visitor's itinerary. It suits travelers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favor of a slower, less-photographed route through French Polynesia. The journey begins on Tahiti, where volcanic peaks meet a coastline still shaped by the island's original Polynesian settlements.
9 days tailor-made from $5,580 per person View trip
Ultimate Luxury: French Polynesia
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built around the highest tier of accommodation French Polynesia has to offer, and around the freedom to move between islands without waiting on ferry schedules. Private planes and helicopters cover the inter-island transfers, which on an itinerary spanning several atolls saves real time otherwise lost to inter-island logistics. The islands themselves remain the point.

Gay Honeymoon in Bora Bora: Tahiti, Taha’a & More
Tailor-made VacationBora Bora is the honeymoon most couples picture when they imagine French Polynesia: overwater bungalows suspended above a lagoon that shifts through every shade of blue, Mount Otemanu rising behind it, and a level of privacy that has made the island one of the most reliably LGBTQ+ welcoming honeymoon destinations anywhere in the South Pacific.

French Polynesia: The Out Of Office Collection
French Polynesia Tailor-made VacationFrench Polynesia remains one of the most extraordinary luxury destinations on earth. More than a hundred islands spread across the South Pacific, each with its own character, connected by short flights and the kind of lagoon water that makes everywhere else feel like a consolation prize. Marlon Brando discovered it filming Mutiny on the Bounty in the 1960s and liked it enough to buy an island.
