Days 1 to 4: Mo'orea
You will be transferred from Tahiti by a short ferry to Mo’orea. This journey takes 25 minutes and offers some absolutely gorgeous views of some of French Polynesia’s most incredible islands. When you arrive in Mo’orea, you will be met by a friendly representative who will transfer you to Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort and Spa, where you’ll enjoy three nights of ultimate relaxation.
This hotel takes pride position along a beautiful white sand beach with bright turquoise waters, alive with tropical fish. Snorkel from the shore to see rays, reef sharks, and dolphins up close. Relax in your overwater bungalow, stepping right into the sea, or opt for a garden view bungalow with a private plunge pool.
Days 4 to 7: Raiatea, Tahaa And Bora Bora
You will then be transferred on a short flight to Raiatea, where you will head to a pier to board your private catamaran. This stunning vessel will be all yours for the next three nights, with a private chef and personal skipper to make sure your trip is effortless. The catamaran will be pre-stocked with all your favorite food and drink, so you’ll have everything you need for a breathtaking experience.
Sailing on a catamaran offers guests a world-class, unforgettable experience. You’ll enjoy the ultimate level of privacy, in a tailored experience perfectly customized to suit your exact travel aspirations. It also avoids the need for plane transfers between the islands, meaning you can make the most of your time as you travel around, stopping off wherever you want, whenever you want.
Sail around the French Polynesian islands of Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora, stopping off at hidden gems and uninhabited spots along the way. Jump into the turquoise waters for water sports such as snorkeling and kayaking, or simply sunbathe on the deck in absolute peace.
Days 7 to 10: Bora Bora
On the 7th day of the cruise, you will dock in Bora Bora where you will be met by a representative who will then escort you to your hotel. You will spend the following three nights in Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts in a garden pool bungalow – or upgrade for an even more special stay in an iconic overwater bungalow. And of course, you can also choose to extend your stay to soak up more of the French Polynesian sunshine, either at this hotel or one of the other stunning properties in Bora Bora.
This boutique 5-star resort has a wealth of activities available, including 4×4 safari tours and outrigger canoeing, and is one of the most peaceful resorts in French Polynesia.

About French Polynesia
French Polynesia covers over two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and is comprised of 118 islands spread over five great archipelagos.
The Society Islands are the most well known, consisting of Tahiti, Mo’orea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha’a; The Tuamotu Atolls or Tahiti’s Strand of Pearls, include the atolls of Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava; and then there are the Marquesas, the Mysterious Islands which thrilled Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin all those years ago. The Austral and Gambier island groups are far-flung and isolated, a hidden treasure of traditional communities and pristine islets.
About Bora Bora
The island of Bora Bora is French Polynesia’s crowning jewel of luxury. Ringed by an aqua lagoon and coral reef, this scenic atoll’s lush peaks rise dramatically from the sea. Stay in an overwater bungalow with glass floors that let you peer into the colorful underwater world beneath you. Savor sunset views from your private plunge pool or the resort’s open-air restaurant. Go snorkeling with gentle manta rays, or book a private boat tour of the island. Pamper yourself with massage and body treatments at the spa. Bora Bora’s beauty, isolation, and indulgent resorts make for a luxurious tropical escape.
About Mo'orea
Mo’orea is Tahiti’s nearest island neighbor, just a short ferry ride away. With pine-covered mountains and curved white sand beaches, Mo’orea retains a natural beauty that feels truly special. Luxury resorts blend seamlessly into the landscape, with overwater bungalows perched above coral gardens.
Dine on the catch of the day at a beachside grill, before watching the sun sink into the sea. Explore Mo’orea’s verdant interior on guided hikes past waterfall pools and through lush plantations of vanilla, pineapple, and coffee. Snorkel with sea turtles in the protected bays. With fewer crowds than Tahiti, Mo’orea offers a more peaceful Polynesian paradise.
About Raiatea
Known as The Sacred Island, Raiatea is revered in French Polynesia for its natural and spiritual beauty. Explore ancient marae temples shrouded in mysticism and legends. Hike through lush jungle to thundering waterfalls. Kayak or snorkel Raiatea’s protected lagoon, home to exotic marine life and sacred sea turtles.
