TAHITI
Ia Orana!
No sooner do you set foot in Papeete than you’ll find yourself letting go, carried along by the scent of Tiare flowers.
This first stage of your stay is a chance to rest — but not only that.
Tahiti, the Queen Island, is the largest of the Polynesian islands and the beating heart of French Polynesia.
Beyond its market, a stop well worth making, the real highlight will be your first encounter with humpback whales, the giant mammals that come to give birth in Polynesia’s warm, clear waters at this time of year.
Simply watching from the boat is already a remarkable sight — the breaches and spouts make for unique memories. But getting the chance to swim alongside the whales is something else entirely.
In Tahiti, you’ll spend two nights at a charming lodge.

MOOREA
The second stage of your journey takes you to Moorea, Tahiti’s sister island — a true Garden of Eden that will cast its spell on you.
The vegetation here is lush and striking, and encounters with the local community are warm and genuine.
For the second time on this journey, you’ll set out on a private excursion to observe whales and their calves.
You may also cross paths with rays, sharks, or dolphins.
Sea conditions permitting, you’ll also have the chance to get in the water and share a few precious moments with the whales.
In Moorea, you’ll spend three nights at a charming hotel.

BORA BORA
Bora Bora, a legendary island not to be missed when passing through the Leeward Islands.
This corner of paradise has earned its reputation: the white sand beaches are immaculate, and the clear turquoise waters reveal a dance of fish in every color, animating a coral garden occasionally crossed by a passing manta ray.
Here, everything invites contemplation and a slower pace of life. It’s hard to resist simply letting go. Hard to say why!
But if the urge to explore gets the better of you, we offer a Polynesian excursion with a private guide.
In Bora Bora, we’ve planned a 3-night stay at a charming hotel.
