Day 1 Fly USA to Papeete

Day 2 Fly Papeete to Raiatea
Transfer to the airport for the flight to Raiatea where you will transfer by boat to Taha’a and to your accommodation.

Sharing a common lagoon with Raiatea and accessible only by boat, Taha’a produces about 80% of all vanilla in French Polynesia. Taha’a is the only island in the Society Islands that can be completely circled by boat inside the protected lagoon.

Days 3-5 At leisure, Taha’a
With its many deep bays and small deserted motus on the reef, Taha’a is an ideal island to escape the 20th century. Here you can explore the reef and discover the beauty of its multicolored lagoon, enjoy a picnic on a deserted motu or go hiking in the mountains and through the vanilla plantations and learn the mystery of these "orchids". With only a handful of guest houses and two small hotels, Taha’a is slowly awakening to tourism and yet it still maintains an authentic flavor of Polynesia.

Day 6 Fly Taha’a to Bora Bora
Transfer back to Raiatea airport by boat, where you board your flight to Bora Bora.

Bora Bora – Unquestionably the most mythical of the Pacific islands remains the island of all dreams. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island.

Day 7 Lagoonarium and Shark watching tour
Travel around the island of Bora Bora near the reef to wait for young sharks. Equipped with snorkel gear, enjoy the underwater view of the sharks and the colorful coral. Next visit the natural lagoonarium.

Days 8-9 At leisure, Bora Bora
At leisure to enjoy the lagoon surrounding Bora Bora; choose from snorkeling, swimming, or simply relax.

Day 10 Fly Bora Bora to Tikehau
Transfer to the airport for the flight to Tikehau.

Considered to be one of the most beautiful atolls in Polynesia, the fragrance of the air is matched only by the abundance of life in the bright-blue water. In this pristine world, fish seem to outnumber people one-billion-to one. In fact the density of the fish in the lagoon is so high that Jacques Cousteau's research group declared that Tikehau's lagoon contained the highest concentration of fish in all of the Tuamotu atolls.

Days 11-13 At leisure, Tikehau
Many excursions and activities are available including snorkeling, canoes and kayaks, sunset cruises, picnics, visit of the village by bicycle, scuba diving and more.

Day 14 Fly Tikehau to USA
