Tahiti and the Leeward islands
Tahiti and the leeward islands are the usual cruising destinations for large yachts in French Polynesia. There are
many amenities and also a good support infrastructure allowing
very diverse shore entertainment. A great deal of our special guests' wishes can be fulfilled in or around
these magic islands. Imagine a private dance show with beautiful Tahitian girls
on a beach in Bora Bora, an exclusive lunch in fifty centimeters of clear
water in Huahine or a stunning firework in the dark green valleys of
Moorea...
Many itineraries can
be proposed in these stunning islands but here are two standard schedules, 7 and 10 days:

Marquesas islands
The Marquesas islands are high rugged islands with
gorgeous sceneries and very little inhabitants, which give them a special
flavor. Diving there is great for experienced divers but water can be muddy.
Hammer head sharks all year round and other big species. Rough seas, no quiet
lagoons.
On land, you find 4x4 wheel drive cars or horses to take you into the mist of the mountains. Walk through the bush to the
second highest waterfall in the Pacific, or famous bay of Virgins in Fatu Hiva,
said to be one of the nicest in the world...
Many yacht owners have loved these
islands. Some have loved the people and the diving. Some
the scenery. If guests
are not afraid of swelly anchorages, the Marquesas are
really unique in this part of the world. A typical itinerary could be:

Tuamotu islands
The Tuamotu islands are all flat atolls where the must is obviously diving. The passes are incredibly rich in everything and you don't even need to dive
with bottles to see it all. A swim with the current (entering !) in the middle
of the pass is always very well appreciated. I suggest spending
a good time in
Rangiroa, because it has many modern amenities and a nice hotel for rest, and also visit
more remote atolls like Fakarava or Toau, which are very quiet and offer
beautiful anchorages inside the lagoon. I personally love the feel of being
inside a quiet lagoon with a view to rough seas outside the reef.
Our dive Guides know
this area wery well and can propose other
places to visit than what I suggest below :
