Takapoto, Tuamotu Islands

    Takapoto is an island of spectacular color. From the endemic Atoll Fruit-dove, to exotic black pearls and the magnificent lagoon, it seems as though no creature on Takapoto has been overlooked by Nature’s paintbrush. Diving and snorkeling excursions will showcase the vast profusion of marine life and living labyrinth of corals found beneath the surface.

Mataiva, Tuamotu Islands

    Mataiva is the quintessential South Pacific atoll, with sun drenched beaches, palm trees, and affable islanders. Mataiva’s 200 residents will warmly greet us and take us on a tour of their island, including stops at copra or vanilla plantations. The islanders will also treat us to a wonderful traditional feast for lunch. Snorkeling and diving excursions may be offered as well.

   
 

 

   
  Day 23 Tue, April 19                                                                  B/L/D
Bora Bora, Society Islands

    Of all the idyllic isles of the South Pacific, perhaps none have inspired so many writers, poets, sailors, and dreamers as Bora Bora. With its verdant double peaks and encircling lagoon, Bora Bora is unsurpassed in its scenic beauty. The surrounding barrier reef provides superb snorkeling and diving, which is sure to be one of the underwater highpoints of the voyage. You may also take part in optional shark feeding excursions or helicopter tours.
