  • Day 1

    Tahiti

    Start your French Polynesia adventure in Papeete, Tahiti's capital. You'll board the Aranui 5 between 7-9 AM. Get there early to avoid port traffic. The ship leaves at noon, giving you time to unpack and attend the safety briefing.

    
  • Day 2

    Fakarava

    Visit the UNESCO biosphere reserve of Fakarava. The snorkeling here is some of the best in French Polynesia. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and underwater cameras to capture the crystal-clear waters. Water is usually calmest in the morning.

    
  • Day 3

    At Sea

    Take this day to adjust to island life while sailing to the Marquesas. You can join cultural talks about Polynesian history or learn traditional Tahitian dance. The ship's front offers great views, but bring a jacket since it gets windy.

    
  • Day 4

    Nuku Hiva

    Take an off-road trip to see ancient petroglyphs at Mea'e Kamuihei. Wear good shoes because the ground is uneven. Watch the traditional 'umu' earth oven demonstration at Taiohae Bay. One visitor shared: "The valley views from Taiohae Bay were incredible—arrive early for photos before the afternoon clouds roll in."

    
  • Day 5

    Ua Pou

    Visit Hakahau village's wooden church and meet local craftspeople. You can take an optional hike for amazing views, but it's hot so start early and pack water. The island's unique basalt peaks look best in morning light.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Ua Huka and Hiva Oa

    Start with Ua Huka's museum before it gets too hot. In Hiva Oa, walk through Atuona village where Gauguin once lived. The cemetery walk offers great views but it's steep. Take it easy and consider bringing walking poles.

    
  • Day 8

    Fatu Hiva

    Watch traditional tapa cloth-making and see artists paint pareos in Omoa village. There's a challenging 16km hike to Hanavave Bay with incredible views. If you're not a serious hiker, take the boat transfer instead.

    
  • Days 9-10

    At Sea and Rangiroa

    After a day at sea, explore Rangiroa's beautiful atoll. Try the glass-bottom boat tour to see coral gardens. If you visit Makatea, pack water shoes for the sacred caves since the rocks can be slippery.

    
  • Day 11

    Bora Bora

    See why everyone calls Bora Bora the most romantic island. Get your best photos of Mount Otemanu in the morning. The lagoon's colors look most beautiful between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is highest.

    
  • Day 12

    Return to Tahiti

    The cruise ends with an early morning arrival in Papeete around 7 AM. Leave extra time for getting off the ship since the port gets busy with multiple arrivals.
