Bora Bora Lagoon Tour
Glide across the stunning turquoise lagoon by outrigger canoe or glass-bottom boat, snorkeling with rays and reef sharks against the backdrop of Mount Otemanu.
An enchanting mosaic of volcanic peaks and turquoise lagoons scattered across the vast South Pacific
French Polynesia is a dreamy collection of 118 islands and atolls spanning an area as vast as Western Europe, yet with a total land mass smaller than a major city. From the iconic silhouette of Bora Bora's Mount Otemanu rising above an impossibly blue lagoon to the rugged valleys of Tahiti, these islands define tropical perfection.
Each archipelago offers a distinct character. The Society Islands dazzle with luxury resorts and dramatic volcanic scenery. The Tuamotu atolls are a diver's paradise of pristine coral passes. The Marquesas Islands feel wild and untouched, with towering basalt cliffs and ancient Polynesian archaeological sites.
Polynesian culture runs deep here, from the graceful art of traditional tattooing and the rhythmic beats of Tahitian dance to the warmth of a flower lei greeting. The fusion of French sophistication with island simplicity creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Dive the UNESCO-designated Fakarava atoll, drifting through coral passes teeming with hundreds of grey reef sharks, barracuda, and vibrant tropical fish.
Experience the quintessential Polynesian luxury of an overwater bungalow with glass floor panels, private decks, and direct lagoon access in Bora Bora or Moorea.
Explore Moorea's dramatic volcanic interior by 4x4 safari, visiting pineapple plantations, ancient marae temples, and panoramic viewpoints over Cook's Bay.
Witness the mesmerizing art of Tahitian dance at a traditional feast, with hip-shaking ori Tahiti performances, fire dancing, and a Polynesian buffet under the stars.
Sail between islands on a luxury catamaran, exploring hidden motus, snorkeling pristine coral gardens, and anchoring in secluded bays for sunset cocktails.
The best time to visit with lower humidity, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures. Peak whale watching season from August to October as humpbacks migrate through.
Pleasant weather with fewer tourists and better resort rates. Occasional brief showers add to the lush tropical beauty. Excellent diving visibility continues.
Hot and humid with frequent tropical rain showers and occasional cyclone risk. Lush vegetation, dramatic skies, and significantly lower prices for budget-conscious travelers.
Rainfall begins to decrease while waters remain warm. Surfing season picks up on Tahiti's legendary reef breaks. Good value with the wet season winding down.
Air Tahiti passes offer significant savings for multi-island visits. Book well in advance as flights between smaller islands have limited seats and schedules.
French Polynesia is expensive. Save by staying in family-run pensions instead of resorts, eating at roulottes (food trucks), and visiting less touristy islands like Huahine.
Always wear reef shoes when walking in lagoons. Respect coral by not touching or standing on it. Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect these fragile marine ecosystems.
While tourism workers speak English, basic French phrases are appreciated in local shops and restaurants. A simple "bonjour" and "merci" go a long way with locals.
In Polynesian tradition, wearing a flower behind the left ear means you are taken, while the right ear signals you are available. Choose your side carefully at social events.
Don't try to see everything. Focus on two or three islands for a balanced trip. Combine a Society Island like Moorea with a Tuamotu atoll like Rangiroa for variety.
