Seven nights across two islands of French Polynesia. On Moorea, pineapple plantations climb toward volcanic ridges above Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay. On Bora Bora, a ring of motu and coral reef holds a lagoon of shifting blues around the island's central peaks. Between the two come a 4WD tour into Moorea's old volcanic crater, a morning among stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, and a Tahitian lunch on a motu, with free days on both islands to spend however you like.

Day 1 Arrive in Papeete
Greeted with a traditional flower lei, your time in paradise begins.
Spend one night in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. Wander the Marché Central, where stalls hold Tahitian crafts, cut flowers, tropical fruit and the morning's fish. Afterward, walk the tree-lined promenade along the marina, where sailboats from around the Pacific tie up between passages.
Intercontinental Tahiti
Day 2 Papeete to Moorea
Moorea appears ten minutes after you leave Tahiti, its volcanic peaks so jagged that the skyline is often compared to a shark's jaw. Those peaks drop into two deep bays, Cook's and Opunohu, where on calm days the mountains reflect in the water. Rainforest and pineapple fields cover the slopes, and white sand edges the lagoon below.
The rest of the day is yours to settle in on the water's edge.

Then head to a marae before driving to the Belvedere for stunning views of Cook and Opunohu bays. On the way, you can taste the fruit juices of the boutique of the Manutea distillery (not open to the public).

Day 4 Day at Leisure in Moorea
Moorea is a daydream realized. Serrated peaks and tremendous gorges are hugged by shallow bays and translucent lagoons.

Befriend a local guide and hike the emerald valleys, give your camera a workout at Belvedere Lookout where you'll be mesmerized by the blue horizon. Wrap yourself in a rainbow by wearing tie-dyed pareus (sarongs), a Moorean specialty, or frolic with dolphins in crystalline lagoons at Dolphin Quest.

Day 5 Moorea to Bora Bora
Transfer to the airport for your flight to Bora Bora, where you are met and transferred to your accommodation.
Bora Bora - Unquestionably the most mythical of the Pacific islands remains the island of all dreams. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island.
Seen from the air, the view has been compared to that of "a tiny emerald in a setting of turquoise, encircled by a sheltering necklace of sparkling pearls". The airport, built by US forces in 1942, is located on a palm fringed motu about 20 minutes by boat from the main village of Vaitape. The view of the main island from the airport is truly breathtaking, and as you travel across the spectacular lagoon you will soon understand why it is the main area of attraction for most visitors.

Day 6 Ultimate Shark and Ray Watching
Embark on a nice motorized outrigger boat to meet the colorful fish, stingrays and black tip sharks. It is to the sound of ukulele that your Polynesian guide will lead you to the motu where a tasty lunch of grills and typical Tahitian dishes is prepared for you. Sit on one of the common large tables and enjoy a local entertainment while sipping a cool drink.

Day 7 Day at Leisure in Bora Bora
When you see its crown of lush green volcanic peaks, you can understand why the late James A. Michener described Bora Bora as the most beautiful island in the South Pacific. Bora Bora is encircled by a multihued lagoon and protected by a wall of coral reef. Traverse this tiny island on bicycle and chat with locals, or explore Bora Bora's rugged interior on a jeep safari tour. Pack a picnic and maroon yourself on a remote motu, or make a lunch date with a black tip reef shark and watch your guide hand-feed these amazing creatures. Explore a cultural note by enjoying a Polynesian dance performance.
