Description
Embark on an 11-day cruise aboard Paul Gauguin from Papeete, venturing into the captivating world of French Polynesia. This journey explores the enchanting Society Islands adorned with lush rainforests, crystal-clear lagoons, and swaying palm trees. You’ll be captivated by the unique beauty of Huahine, the iconic volcanic silhouette of Bora Bora, and Moorea’s pineapple-covered hills and majestic peaks.
Venturing into the Tuamotus, Rangiroa stands out with its mesmerizing underwater wonders and renowned black pearl cultivation. Dive into natural aquariums teeming with colourful fish, rays, and friendly sharks, or explore the UNESCO-classified nature reserve of Fakarava. The cruise’s pinnacle awaits at Motu Mahana, a private paradise exuding vanilla scents framed by turquoise waters—a true highlight of this Polynesian adventure.
Highlights
• Indulge in two full days in the Pacific paradise of Bora Bora. As if vistas of towering Mount Otemanu, the romantic lagoon, and an unhurried pace of life weren’t enough, our exclusive white-sand beach offers ample places to relax.
• Discover the ‘infinite lagoon’ on Rangiroa, the biggest atoll in French Polynesia, which is famous for its ‘wall of sharks’.
• UNESCO World Heritage Site: Fakarava, a biosphere reserve and the world’s second-largest lagoon, is home to unique flora and fauna, grey sharks and untouched coral reefs.
• Live life idyllic with a memorable day on Motu Mahana, our own private slice of paradise. On this exclusive islet, treat yourself to sand between your toes, the shade of swaying palm trees, a sumptuous barbecue lunch and, of course, drinks sipped from coconuts.
• Discover Polynesia’s culture and traditions.
• Fauna: manta rays, spotted eagle rays, common eagle rays, lemon sharks, blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and multicoloured fish.
• Diving (PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent) with an experienced instructor on board is possible.
