Overview


Sail to pristine and uncrowded coves during this exploration of tropical isles and Māori culture throughout French Polynesia. Slip onto your own Waverunner and set a course for remote snorkeling on Raiatea. In the Cook Islands, relax on isolated Rarotonga beaches, then venture into friendly Aitutaki for small town tropical fruit smoothies, tuna poke bowls and fish curry. Take in the Māori culture and language as you interact with Cook Island natives. Sip refreshments on a sunset sailing across Bora Bora's lagoon waters prior to an overnight port stay, or check into romantic bungalows on the beach at an island resorts. Sample fragrant Taha'a vanilla at a plantation or explore stone temples and archaeological sites on Huahine. Then, board an outrigger canoe bound for a remote motu, where you'll learn how to cook up a local lunch with a side of relaxing warm, sandy beachfront.
