Polynesia


DAY 1 : Papeete (Tahiti)
You will step aboard the boat at 3 pm. The crew will greet you with a welcome drink. Before setting sail, you will be given a quick briefing on the safety instructions to follow during the cruise. The boat will then head for Moorea. You will arrive at your destination in the late evening. Overnight will be spent at anchor.

DAY 2 : Moorea
In the morning, you'll discover Moorea, also known as "Tahiti's sister island". It's easily recognisable by its 8 peaks overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Its beautiful lagoon is populated by a variety of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and more, to the delight of snorkelers. You'll take a guided 3.5-hour tour of the island, during which you'll learn more about Moorea's rich history, culture and ecology. After crossing the Opunohu Valley, climbing the slopes of Mount Tohi'e'a and passing through the sublime Cook and Opunohu bays, you'll stop off at the Moorea Juice Factory. You can sample the juices made from local produce. Depart for Raiatea in the evening. Overnight will be spent at sea.

DAY 3 : Raiatea
You will reach Raiatea, Polynesia's first inhabited island. It is home to the archipelago's oldest marae, Taputapuatea, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is considered the cradle of Polynesian civilization. In fact, it still serves as a meeting place for communities from Hawaii, New Zealand and the Cook Islands. Overnight is spent in the port or at anchor.

DAY 4 : Taha’a
You drop anchor in Taha'a in the morning. It lies to the north of the island of Raiatea, with which it shares a stunning lagoon. Once ashore, you'll smell the sweet scent of vanilla, for which this island has been famous for decades. Vanilla plantations here are artisanal, with farmers "marrying" the vanilla by hand. Departure for Bora Bora in the evening. Overnight will be spent at sea.

DAY 5 : Bora Bora
You will arrive in Bora-Bora early in the morning. This island, nicknamed the "Pearl of the Pacific", is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Its lagoon, dominated by Mount Otemanu (727 meters), is home to extraordinary underwater biodiversity. You'll discover the essence of Bora Bora for a 2.5-hour journey on" The Truck ", a truck decked out in local colours, which will take you through magnificent landscapes, past coconut groves and picturesque villages. Overnight will be spent in the port.

DAY 6 : Bora Bora
You'll spend a second day in Bora Bora. You have free time to explore the island at your leisure. Perhaps you'll take a 2-3 hour hike up Mount Otemanu for a panoramic view of the turquoise lagoon, or opt for a day of snorkeling. Depart for Huahine in the evening.

Day 7 : Huahine
Welcome to Huahine, one of the archipelago's most authentic islands. Its inhabitants have preserved their culture and traditions over the centuries. Huahine is home to ancient marae (sacred temples built of volcanic stone), some dating back over 700 years. Overnight will be spent at sea.

DAY 8 : Papeete (Tahiti)
You arrive in Tahiti early in the day. Your disembarkation in Papeete is scheduled after breakfast, around 9 am.

    Paradies südsee

    Ich war rundherum sehr zufrieden! Angefangen vom Service bis hin zur Freundlichkeit der Crew. Wir hatten Glück, das Schiff war nicht voll besetzt. Dadurch hatten wir eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre mit Passagieren und der Crew und unser Guid hatte Zeit uns intensive zu beraten/betreuen. Um diesen exzellenten Status zu behalten, sollte die Panorama II nicht voll besetzt auf Törns gehen.

Frequently asked questions

  • What documents are required for a trip to Polynesia?

    For French nationals and for a stay of less than 3 months, all you need is a valid passport, valid for another 6 months after the return date. Please note: in case of a stopover in the United States, it is necessary to check that the passport meets American standards. If you are transiting through or to the United States, you must present an electronic travel authorisation, the ESTA (approximately 14 USD per person). Please note that you must provide the same information as on your passport and travel documents.
    This information is subject to change by the authorities of the country visited. It is not unusual for border crossing rules to change. We therefore strongly advise you to refer to the "advice to travellers" section of the France Diplomatie website: https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/
    Nationals of other countries should contact the consulate of their country of origin for information on formalities.
  • Is everyone on board English-speaking?

    Please note that this cruise is not exclusive to English travelers. It is quite common to meet people of various nationalities on board as we offer cruises to international clientele - encouraging curious and enriching exchanges for both passengers and crew.
    Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.
  • Who will take care of my flight to Polynesia?

    Your flight tickets can be booked by the GlobeSailor team. You just need to specify this to your consultant when booking your cruise.
  • How are the transfers between the airport and the boat organised?

    Your transfers are not included in your cruise package, however they can be organised by your GlobeSailor consultant and the base manager by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is usually made to GlobeSailor at the time of payment of the balance or directly on site in cash. Do not forget to inform your consultant of your arrival time.
  • What about meals on board the boat?

    During your cruise, you will benefit from the full board formula, including breakfasts, lunches (buffet) and dinners. Water, tea and coffee (filter) are available all day. Soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are not included. Please check the terms and conditions of your quotation. On request, your consultant can provide you with the menus offered on board. They are often prepared with fresh and local products. Please inform us as soon as possible if you are allergic to certain foods or if you have a special diet.
    NB: Meals are served in the restaurant in one sitting and you are free to choose your table. During the day, you can come in casual clothes (swimming costumes and bare feet are not accepted; gentlemen must wear a T-shirt). In the evening, more formal attire is recommended.
  • How do I book an optional excursion?

    You can pre-book your chosen excursion(s) when booking your cruise. You also can book once you are on-site, subject to availability.
  • What happens if the excursion I have booked cannot take place?

    Excursions may be cancelled due to a lack of participants or changes to the itinerary. In this case, any excursion prepayment will be converted into on-board credits. These credits can then be used for alternative excursions or expenses on board (bar or laundry). These credits have no monetary value and cannot be refunded or saved for future cruises or transferred to other passengers.
  • What payments do I need to make to confirm my booking?

    To confirm your booking, you need to inform your GlobeSailor advisor who will hold an option for you until your deposit is received. The booking will only be considered definite once your deposit has been received (by bank transfer, Paypal or credit card), of between 30% and 50% of the booking amount. A 100% deposit will be required for all bookings made within one month of departure. The balance must be paid no later than 60 days before the date of embarkation.
