Tahiti and the Tuamotus with Windstar Cruises

TAHITI AND THE TUAMOTUS

CRUISE + AIR + HOTEL PACKAGE

Papeete to Papeete – 12 Days

After boarding the Wind Spirit, you’ll set a leisurely course for the lush Tuamotu and Society Islands, snorkeling amid brightly colored fish and harmless black-tipped sharks in Fakarava’s Blue Lagoon, floating in a glass-bottom boat above vibrant parrot fish and turquoise Napoleon fish off the coast of Rangiroa, and mastering the art of drift snorkeling among coral and swirling currents near Tahaa.  Inhale heady aromatic fragrances of a vanilla drying stall on Huahine.  Explore pearl farms on Raiatea and harvest your own Bora Bora black pearl prior to fruity rum cocktails with Chevreffes – shrimp cooked in vanilla-infused coconut milk – and other extraordinary South Pacific cuisine during memorable overnight stayes in Raiatea and Bora Bora.
