Rurutu
Rurutu, one of the two largest uplifted atolls in French Polynesia, is unique due to its geological... more+ structure, which surprises visitors who do not expect such landscapes in the South Pacific. Basalt and limestone cliffs dotted with caves once inhabited by islanders, a volcanic interior with lush tropical jungle, white sand beaches, and stunning bays offer breathtaking views. Rurutu is renowned throughout Polynesia for the exceptional quality of its woven crafts, such as beautiful hats, bags, baskets, and mats made from pandanus leaves and other natural materials. With the ship anchored off Rurutu, passengers will disembark after lunch on board via barges at the Moerai dock, where they will be welcomed with local songs.

Rurutu Rimatara
The ship docks at the “Taanini” wharf. A small circular volcanic plateau, Rimatara was the last... more+ island of the archipelago to be discovered in the 19th century by Captain Samuel Pinder Henry. It has preserved its old traditions, including its own dialect. It is home to an endemic bird, the amazing and colorful Kuhl's lorikeet, the “Ura,” also found in the Cook Islands. After passing through a purification smoke — an ancient welcome tradition — set off to discover the main villages of Amaru, Anapoto, and Motuaura by minibus or truck. In the old cemetery of Amaru, facing the sea, lies the lineage of kings and queens who once ruled Rimatara. An ancient legend warns against making faces in front of the royal tomb, as one risks staying disfigured for life. A barbecue will be served on Motuaura beach. Its crystal-clear waters invite snorkeling and exploration. Covered in taro fields and fruit trees, Rimatara is a blooming garden that also has a freshwater well. The discovery of the red parakeet “Ura” is offered as an optional activity (sign-up at reception).
