Here are some of Oceania Cruises’ Tahiti destination highlights:
/ Papeete
The capital of French Polynesia, which is on the island of Tahiti, has many hidden-gem attractions. It includes the Faarumai waterfalls and the Maraa fern grottos to the Arahoho blowhole, where you can go for a dip. Or you can simply sit back and enjoy watching the local surfers show off their skills on their longboards.
/ Nuku Hiva
This dreamy island is also one of the most remote in French Polynesia. Make a beeline to the entrance of the Vaipo Waterfalls and Cascade Tevaipo. It is one of the world’s tallest falls at more than 335 metres.
/ Moorea
The sister island of Tahiti, Moorea offers breathtaking landscapes from the verdant mountains and white sandy beaches to the Mykonos-coloured seas. Try your hand at kayaking, snorkelling or scuba diving.
/ Bora Bora
From the moment you sail into Bora Bora, you will be blown away by its sparkling turquoise waters and soft, sandy beaches. Go for a reef-ringed lagoon tour, jet ski, or try a Polynesian day with lunch on a motu (a small sand island) – an amazing experience.
/ Fakarava
The ecosystem of this island is home to extremely rare birds, plants and crustaceans. Walk through quaint villages and old coral churches where the local people are only too keen to welcome you.
/ Rangiroa
This South Pacific atoll is a natural aquarium teeming with colourful fish, manta rays and other marine life. You can also visit a pearl farm or dive with manta rays.
