Itinerary
Arrive in Papeete, Tahiti via Auckland. Transfer to your hotel and relax after your journey. Enjoy your first taste of French Polynesia before embarking on your luxury yacht cruise.
Relax on sunny beaches, sample Tahitian fare, and take in the effervescent spirit of the city. But whatever you do, save time — and luggage space — for shopping. Black pearls and colorful crafts fill the market and local treasures are so plentiful you’ll have trouble making your choices but you won't be bothered with large crowds and big tour groups because French Tahiti is only accessible to small ships like ours.
Welcome to paradise, where your stunning surroundings soak up superlatives and call for more. In our stay here you'll have plenty of time to do it all. Be sure to consider the opportunity to hone your photography talents on an optional tour of the island in the company of a professional photographer. Your choices here are endless. Hike the majestic Three Coconut Trail. Visit dolphins in their native habitat. Or spend your time swimming and kayaking from the Watersports Platform as we lay at anchor in these beautiful sapphire seas.
Raiatea, "The Sacred Island," is located just across the lagoon from Tahaa and shares the same barrier reef. (Legend claims the two were a single island until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them.) It used to be the center of religion and culture in the Society Islands. Taputapuatea, on the southeast coast, was once the most important marae around, the place where kings from the neighboring islands would gather for important ceremonies. Uturoa, the main town, reminds some people of Papeete in its younger days with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the only navigable river in the islands, the Fa'aroa. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows only here.
Following an overnight stay in Raiatea, enjoy a short early morning sail across the lagoon to Motu Mahaea in Tahaa, arriving at 8:00 AM. Spend the day on a private island complete with swaying palm trees and white-sand beaches. Swim, snorkel and enjoy a variety of water sports in the crystal-clear waters. There will be a delicious barbecue lunch and tropical drinks waiting for you. Explore Tahaa with optional excursions to discover the vanilla plantations and sacred sites of the island.
Arrive in the legendary lagoon of Bora Bora, one of the world’s most iconic tropical destinations. With its dramatic volcanic peaks, vibrant coral gardens and endless shades of blue, Bora Bora offers unforgettable experiences both on land and in the water.
Explore the island by 4WD, snorkel among colourful marine life, relax on pristine beaches or enjoy the freedom of swimming and kayaking directly from Star Breeze’s watersports platform.
In the evening, experience Windstar’s exclusive Destination Discovery Event – Polynesian Feast & Fire, an unforgettable celebration of local culture, cuisine, music and traditional fire dancing under the stars.
Enjoy another full day in paradise with more time to discover the beauty of Bora Bora. Explore hidden beaches, cruise through the lagoon, dive into crystal-clear waters or simply relax and admire the breathtaking scenery surrounding Star Breeze.
Discover Huahine, one of French Polynesia’s most authentic and untouched islands. Known for its lush tropical landscapes, ancient archaeological sites and traditional island lifestyle, Huahine offers a glimpse into the true spirit of Polynesia.
Explore sacred marae, visit local villages, discover the island’s rich history or enjoy the spectacular lagoon and natural surroundings.
Papeete: Return to Tahiti, where you can relax on sunny beaches, sample Tahitian fare, and take in the effervescent spirit of the city. Save time - and luggage space - for shopping, as black pearls and colourful crafts fill the market with local treasures. French Tahiti offers an authentic island experience, away from large crowds and big tour groups, thanks to the intimate nature of small-ship cruising.
Enjoy a day at leisure to experience more of Tahiti at your own pace. Explore the colourful markets of Papeete, visit the island's black-sand beaches and waterfalls, discover local cafés and boutiques, or simply relax and enjoy the facilities at your hotel.
After breakfast, transfer to Tahiti International Airport for your return flight to Australia via Auckland, taking home unforgettable memories of your Windstar Cruises voyage through the islands of French Polynesia.
