Many have said Tahiti is the most alluring destination on Earth. It is breathtaking! Idyllic, picturesque forested isles, surrounded by turquoise waters lie before us and the amazing clipper ship, Star Flyer, awaits our arrival!

On this 8-day, 7-night adventure, we will explore natural and cultural sites in Tahiti and the legendary Society Islands. There will be opportunities to discover ancient Polynesian archaeological sites, to walk on forested mountain trails, meet villagers, amble through towns, bike on the islands, and discover the undersea world while snorkeling and swimming.

Our itinerary will include islands of renown in the archipelago—Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Taha’a and Raiatea. We will see the most important Polynesian archaeological sites in Tahiti, explore a vanilla plantation, learn about pearl farming, watch spinner dolphins at play, learn about the Tahitian cultural heritage and delight in the wonderful atmosphere as we explore each island.

From $2,995 + air.
