Cruise Itinerary
Bora Bora
Cruises – Private Yacht Experience
7 days/6 nights
departing Bora Bora every Monday morning, returning to Bora
Bora Sunday afternoons.
Monday – Lagoon Hues, Bora
Bora
This morning we welcome guests at Bora Bora airport on the
‘Motu Mute’ – small islet on the coral reef fringe that
frames Bora Bora’s principle island. Today is the day to
settle in, relax and discover your private yacht which will
be home for the next week. Visit the small village of
Vaitape, head for the beach or schedule an onboard
anti-stress massage. Finish the day with a leisurely sunset
cruise eased along with local music from the onboard ‘Kuru’
(crew).
Tuesday – Vanilla Scents,
Taha’a
An early morning
arrival at this stunning smaller island that shares an
enormous lagoon with sister island Raiatea. Help prepare and
enjoy a traditional island feast, take lessons in life in
the tropics and make the most of the sun, snorkeling,
kayaks, and swimming in pristine lagoons. We’ll complete the
day with a cruise around this island’s lagoons past postcard
perfect motus, and after dinner we’ll slip across the lagoon
to Raiatea.
Wednesday – River and Motu, Raiatea
Start the day with a visit to the marae (temple) that is
central to the ancient Polynesian civilization that was
starting place for the great migration that peopled lands as
far away as Hawai’i, Easter Island and New Zealand. A late
morning kayak up the idyllic Faaroa River, French
Polynesia’s only navigable river, a botanical garden visit,
and an afternoon of beach and lagoon life at Iriru motu.
Following a barbeque under the stars, we’ll invite you to
the ‘motu movies’, a unique open air cinema experience that
not even Hollywood could have imagined. Many guests like to
finish the evening with a spot of late-night fishing, where
the aft underwater projectors make the landing of the next
day’s breakfast a rather spectacular affair.
Thursday – Tropical Beauty,
Huahine
After an early morning crossing from Raiatea, the scene is
set for an exclusive event – our lagoon breakfast. Fine
linen, tepid crystalline waters, and a full array of
breakfast temptations, complemented with a crisp cool flute
of champagne. The rest of the morning is yours to laze at a
stunning beach, or to explore the surrounding tropical
landscape. The afternoon sees us visit the tiny port village
of Fare, and we follow with an evening presentation of
traditional music performed by a very special choir.
Friday - Island Flavors,
Raiatea
An early morning return crossing from Huahine sees us at
quay in ‘downtown’ Uturoa – the Leeward Islands’ largest
township and administrative center. Mid-morning we visit a
working Tahitian black pearl farm where these tropical
treasures are farmed and harvested
in preparation for setting in sublime jewelry. An early
afternoon cruise and time for a swim from the Yacht’s aft
‘beach’, is followed by a trek up Mount Tapioi which offers
up a myriad of island views at sunset whilst we treat you
for your efforts with a cool Maitai cocktail. It’s Friday
night, an after dinner Tahitian dance group entertains, and
for those wanting a little late night fun, we’d be happy to
accompany you to small local nightclub for a little
entertainment and dancing.
Saturday – Pacific Pearl,
Bora Bora
The weekend begins as we return early to the multiple
turquoise hues of Bora Bora’s lagoon. Today is the day to
experience one or more of Bora Bora’s wonderful excursions
that we offer as options, or to just return to laze at the
beach. A black pearl jewelry presentation precedes our
Saturday night on board, a time to celebrate the week’s
discovery and enjoy another dinner with new friends.
Sunday – Island Sunday, Bora
Bora
This morning we offer an opportunity to visit a local
church, with roof-lifting hymns and a local attendance
resplendent in its island Sunday best. For those wanting a
special piece of Tahitian black pearl jewelry, the world’s
leading producers, Robert Wan Pearls welcome our guests for
an exclusive viewing. There’s also a occasion for another
swim in Bora Bora’s clear lagoon waters before it is time to
bid your Cruise Yacht farewell and return to Bora Bora
airport.
Cruise Yacht Dining At Your
Service
Every morning we offer early coffee, pastry and fruits for
early risers, followed by a full a la carte breakfast
service. Those sleeping late are well catered for as our
continental breakfast is available almost until lunchtime.
