Tahiti and Society Islands, a legendary itinerary!

Start your day in paradise! Tahiti is the largest of the islands in French Polynesia. Take the time to discover its secrets before boarding the M/S Paul Gauguin, a luxurious ship with sober elegance and a relaxed atmosphere. It will give you a warm welcome and will be your haven of peace for the next seven days, while offering you an endless choice of entertainment. The Paul Gauguin offers a PADI diving program with certification for beginners as well as refresher courses.

Called the Garden of Eden, Huahine is the most sensual of the Society Islands. Its wild and seductive nature blossoms on virgin beaches, deserted creeks or on small paradisiacal islets. It is also home to the most extensive archaeological remains of French Polynesia.

Taha’a thrives in the same lagoon as its sister island, Raiatea. Its beautiful white sandy beaches, palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze and crystal clear waters make it a South Sea paradise. It is in all exclusivity that you will taste the joys of a “Polynesian day” in the company of our ambassadors, Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins. Explore our Motu Mahana and its turquoise lagoon, enjoy a delicious barbecue with local tastes and let yourself be enveloped by the songs and dances of Polynesia.

Immediately recognizable by the basalt tombstone of Mount Otemanu rising from the ocean, Bora Bora is nicknamed the “Pearl of the Pacific”. It has one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, dotted with a multitude of small islands called “motu”. You will have the choice between exploring this paradise on your own in complete freedom or leaving in small groups for a land or water excursion.

Paul Gauguin’s private beach on the coast of Bora Bora is your secret sanctuary with its palm trees and welcoming waters. Grab your dive gear and beach towel and let yourself go to your experience.

Cut by spectacular mountain ridges, covered with lush vegetation, bordered by a peaceful and translucent lagoon and hemmed by beaches with majestic palm trees, Moorea’s impressive beauty is unsurpassed. Take advantage of your stopover to discover the island from the interior, or let yourself be tempted by an aquatic activity.

This second day in Moorea will allow you to appreciate the true sweetness of it. At the end of the afternoon, you will sail to your home port, Papeete, where you will be moored for the night.

You will not be quite the same when you leave Paul Gauguin, the magic of French Polynesia having done its work!

From Papeete, fly to Bora Bora for a 3-night stay where you will have the chance to sleep in a magnificent villa on the water.

Wake up this morning in your elegant villa on stilts with a traditional Polynesian roof. Nestled on one of Bora Bora’s islets, facing Mount Otemanu, the Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is an oasis of peace and tranquility. Synonymous with luxury, discover the property and its assets, including its excellent cuisine!

The perfect day to spoil yourself! Treat yourself to a treatment at the Spa, explore the lagoon with its multicoloured fish, go on an adventure or relax by the pool, the choices are endless. And why not treat yourself to a romantic dinner on the beach!

It’s time to come home, but before you go, promise yourself you’ll come back!
