Embark the Panorama II in Papeete Port between 2pm and 3pm. After a welcome briefing and
safety drill, we will set sail for Moorea. Late evening arrival and overnight at anchor.
This morning we are in Moorea, which is believed to be the inspiration for the mythical Bali Hai
from James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific. Eight gargantuan mountain peaks rise from
its magnificent lagoon, creating a distinctive silhouette visible from the western coast of Tahiti.
Morning and afternoon optional half day excursions; a/ Dolphin watching expedition by Dr
Poole’s biologist team b/ Culture Eco Tour. Late evening departure to Huahine.
Huahine, once home to Tahitian royalty, is considered the cradle of Polynesian culture. The two
islands maintain the largest concentration of ancient marae (temples) in French Polynesia, some
of which are believed to date back to around 700 AD. Huahine is a colossal tropical jungle
burgeoning with coconut plantations, vanilla orchids, banana groves, breadfruit trees and
watermelon fields. Our optional half-day tour takes us around the island to visit the small villages
of Maeva, an archaeological site, and a vanilla plantation. There will also be an opportunity to see
and feed the sacred blue-eyed eels of Faie Bay. Late night departure to Bora Bora. Overnight at
sea.
Early morning arrival in Bora Bora, possibly the most photographed place on earth. Our ship sails
into Bora Bora lagoon with Mount Otemanu rising proudly at the center. In Bora Bora we will have
a variety of optional activities to choose from, such as: a) A Bora Bora Cultural Safari by 4x4; b)
An excursion to snorkel with sting rays and sharks and explore the lagoon c) The Bora Bora tour
by "Le Truck" and more. Late night departure to Taha’a. Overnight at sea.
Early morning arrival in Taha'a, which shares a magnificent lagoon with Raiatea Island. The fertile
island is covered with banana, watermelon and coconut groves. The island also acts as a vast
natural greenhouse for the treasured Tahitian vanilla orchid. Our optional morning excursion will
allow us to explore the beautiful interior of the island by 4x4 vehicle, through the island of Taha’a
to visit a pearl farm, a vanilla plantation and a rum factory. Discover the black pearl and the
vanilla culture, two precious treasures of Taha’a. In the afternoon, we will have plenty of time for
swimming and snorkeling from a “motu”, or reef islet. Overnight in port.
Early in the morning we sail across the lagoon to reach nearby Raiatea, which translates to
“faraway heaven” and “sky with soft light”. Originally known as Havai’i, Raiatea is considered the
homeland of the ancient Polynesians. We will have a variety of optional activities to choose from,
such as: a) Morning tour with local truck to Marae Taputapuatea b) Morning or afternoon visit to
Anapa Pearl farm. Tonight we will enjoy our Farewell Dinner. Overnight in port.
This morning, discover the local market of Raiatea or join our optional Faaroa river and Motu
Beach break excursion. After lunch, we sail to Papeete. Overnight at sea.
