About your itinerary

Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Welcome to French Polynesia
It was so lovely to chat with you on Friday regarding your upcoming honeymoon to the stunning islands of French Polynesia. I am therefore delighted to present your 10-night itiernary including Rangiroa, Moorea, and finishing with the epitome of lux in Bora Bora.
I know you were looking to depart in April, I have been looking into availability and I am so pleased to say that although the availability is limited I have been able to secure the dates from the 10th of April we discussed on our call.
With you being certified divers I have included your dive in Rangiroa as promised. Here you'll have the opportunity to swim by whale sharks, rays and dolphins too. This island is renowned for its diving and I know that you will not be disappointed here. I have also popped in some optional excursions for you, let me know if you would like to include any of these.
With regards to your accommodation, I know how important it was for you to enjoy an overwater bungalow and I am pleased to say that we have managed to secure you an overwater bungalow in Moorea for you to enjoy. At the Hotel Kia Ora, you'll enjoy a villa with a pool. In the iconic St Regis, you'll enjoy stunning reef-view villas with a pool, these are the most spacious of the rooms available at the St Regis.
I was conscious that the itinerary is over the $15k you are looking to spend and there are certainly ways that I can look at bringing the itinerary down. However, with this being said, if you can stretch I can promise it will be 100% worth it. I know how much you wanted to include a stay at the St Regis so wanted to ensure this was in the itinerary for you.
I really hope that you love this itinerary as much as I have loved putting it together for you. French Polynesia is such a dreamy destination and perfect for your honeymoon celebrations.
Any questions you have before we catch up, please feel free to reach out.
Enjoy and speak soon.
Best wishes,
Samantha McCormack

la Orana French Polynesia
la Orana French Polynesia
Sculpted by sky-piercing, moss-green peaks and lined with vivid turquoise lagoons, sultry French Polynesia is a place to take it slow and experience warm, laid-back island culture.
The islands of French Polynesia became legends the minute the first European explorers reached their home shores with tales of a heaven on earth where the soil was fertile, life was simple and lust was guilt-free. While the lingering hype is outdated, French Polynesia is still about as dreamy as reality gets. The lagoons are just as blue but there are freeways, more conservative values and nine-to-five jobs. It’s not the untainted paradise of explorer lore, but at least there’s an internet connection.
The slim stretches of white-, pink- and black-sand beaches in French Polynesia are really just pretty springboards into the real draw: the lagoons. Most high islands are surrounded by fringing reef that creates a protected swimming pool of the most intense aqua imaginable. Coral atolls have this same calibre of lagoon minus the big island in the middle. Fish, dolphins, rays, sharks, turtles and more inhabit these clear-water coral gardens that are as excellent for snorkelling as they are for diving and swimming. Surfers ride glassy wave faces at reef passes while kitesurfers fly across the water with the trade winds.

la Orana Rangiroa
la Orana Rangiroa
Rangiroa (rung-ee-roh-ah) is one of the biggest atolls in the world, with a lagoon so vast that it could fit the entire island of Tahiti inside of it. While visitors coming directly from Bora Bora or Tahiti will probably find Rangi (as it’s known to its friends) to be a low-key, middle-of-nowhere sort of a place, this is the big city for folks coming from anywhere else in the archipelago. With paved roads, a few stores, a couple of resorts, plentiful internet and gourmet restaurants, there’s really everything here you need – and in the Tuamotus, that’s a really big deal!
But it’s only the beginning: Rangiroa’s richest resource lies below the surface. It’s a diving mecca, with world-renowned dive sites blessed with prolific marine life just minutes from your bungalow.

Ah, Bora Bora. The stuff of dreams. As you arrive by plane, the view says it all. How not to be mesmerised by this stunning palette of sapphire, indigo and turquoise, all mixed together in modern-art abstractions? And these sand-edged motu (islets) and soaring rainforest-covered basaltic peaks? With such a dreamlike setting, Bora Bora is, unsurprisingly, a honeymooners’ choice.
But there’s much more to do than clink glasses with your loved one in a luxurious hotel. The good thing is that you can mix slow-paced sun-and-sand holidays with action-packed adventures. Diving, snorkelling, lagoon tours, hiking and parasailing are readily available. What you shouldn’t expect, though, is a thriving nightlife. Bora Bora is a quiet island perfectly set in paradise.

Fresh fish caught in the waters around the Society Islands is always on the menu, along with locally sourced ingredients like the local fresh Uravena. A fish that is difficult to catch, found between 200 and 400 meters deep, and which we are the only restaurant in Polynesia to offer. Here it is declined from the traditional “Boeuf Bourguignon” to dazzle your senses. While the cuisine is spectacular, the view from this overwater restaurant is truly breathtaking.
