Day 1: Arrival in Tahiti
After a long flight, you will be greeted at the Papeete airport with a traditional garland of flowers. The rest of the day is all about relaxing and acclimatizing. Stroll along the promenade, explore the local market or enjoy your first cocktail overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Day 2: Huahine
A short flight takes you to Huahine, one of French Polynesia's most pristine islands. No mass tourism here, but vast beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. By bike or on foot, you will explore the island at your own pace. You will stay in a charming wooden cottage a few steps from the beach.
Day 3: Cultural exploration of Huahine
Together with a local guide, you will dive deeper into the history of the island. You'll visit ancient Marae - sacred Polynesian temples - and learn more about the traditions that are still alive and well here.
Day 4: Free day in paradise
Today you set your own pace. Relax on a deserted beach, snorkel in crystal clear waters or go kayaking along the coast. For those seeking more adventure, diving excursions are available to colorful reefs and wrecks.
Day 5: Taha'a
After a final morning in Huahine, fly on to Taha'a. This island breathes authenticity: small villages, pristine nature and warm, welcoming people. You will stay in an overwater bungalow, where you dive straight from your room into the lagoon.
Day 6: Vanilla plantations and lagoons
Accompanied by a guide, you discover the vanilla plantations of Taha'a, where the scent of freshly harvested pods fills the air. You then sail to hidden lagoons, where you snorkel among tropical fish and colorful coral. Lunch is an experience in itself: a Polynesian motu lunch, with your feet in the sand and traditional dishes served in palm leaves.
Day 7: Discovery tour on Taha'a or Raiatea
Enjoy a relaxing day on Taha'a or opt for a trip to Raiatea, the spiritual heart of French Polynesia. This island is home to the sacred Marae Taputapuātea, one of the region's most important archaeological sites. Prefer to be on the water? Explore the lagoon in a traditional Polynesian canoe or go diving near shipwrecks.
Day 8: Return home
After one last dip in the warm ocean waters or a relaxing morning by the pool, it's time to return home. With unforgettable memories of tropical beaches, hospitable people and a fascinating culture, you return home.
