You’ll find much to adore in the thriving Talamahu Market or by joining a traditional kava ceremony to sip the iconic elixir. Experience intimate encounters with corals and sea life, or glimpse the Royal Palace, guardian of Tonga’s monarchy since 1865.

Heart-shaped Mo’orea is a true paradise for nature lovers.
Day 71, Bora Bora, French PolynesiaArrival 08:00Departure 22:00
Two little words—Bora Bora—ignite the passions of painters, poets, and romantics. No wonder, given its ancient Tahitian name Pora Pora mai te Pora, meaning ‘created by the gods’. Surely the deities dwell atop Mount Otemanu, a jagged emerald chapel piercing the heavens. Stroll along powdery white sands or plunge into the eternally indigo lagoon where gentle manta rays glide like silent butterflies and vibrant reef fish swim upon calm currents. Could there be any place more perfectly poised as the bridge between heaven and earth?
Day 72, Huahine, French PolynesiaArrival 08:00Departure 22:00
An untamed 'mountain island' of mystical allure, Huahine dazzles with jagged emerald peaks plunging into tranquil lagoons.

Deliciously remote and culturally profound, it hides ancient marae temples and sacred blue-eyed eels gliding through shaded streams near Faie village, amid fragrant vanilla pods and vibrant pareos. Kayak lush river valleys, snorkel coral gardens, or unwind on secluded motu beaches — a secret garden of unspoiled Polynesian luxury.
Day 73, Raiatea, French PolynesiaArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
The whole of heaven stirs above Raiatea, the spiritual heart of ancient Polynesia where the veil thins between living and ancestors.

Encircled by reef, this paradise features Polynesia’s only navigable river. Take a short journey along the inlet’s steep tree cliffs. Enjoy a day trip or boat to Taha’a to explore Vanilla Valley plantation, uncover its secret past, or swim among vibrant coral in the pristine lagoon.

A sleepy atoll suspended between sea and sky, Fakarava is the pearl of the Tuamotus archipelago. Shimmering sand banks and shallow lagoons perfectly mirror the sky, blurring the horizon so completely it feels as if you’re walking on clouds. Its underwater world dazzles as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where black-tip sharks, eagle rays, and vibrant corals create a premier snorkel and dive site.
