The Journey
An overview
French Polynesia reveals itself differently from the water. Begin in Raiatea and move through the Leeward Islands, where each passage opens into another vast lagoon framed by volcanic peaks. Taha’a brings vanilla-scented shores and coral gardens, Huahine feels greener and more local, and Bora Bora delivers the cinematic lagoon that made the destination famous. Ten nights give the route enough breathing room for the longer inter-island passages and, just as importantly, for days when the best plan is simply to stay in one beautiful place.
Raiatea as the natural sailing gateway to the region.
Taha’a for coral gardens, quiet motu and a softer island rhythm.
Huahine for lush landscapes, local villages and a more authentic feel.
Bora Bora for its immense lagoon, Mount Otemanu views and extraordinary water color.
Best time
May to October is the drier, cooler sailing season, with June through August typically the driest months. The route remains weather-dependent throughout the year.
Group size
Fully private, with catamaran size and crew level chosen around your party.
Pace
Slow and immersive, with several short lagoon days balanced by longer open-ocean passages between islands.
