Enjoy the white sand beach of Vitaria and its lagoon. Every year, from August to September, humpback whales can be seen and heard at Rurutu, where they come to mate and give birth.

Rurutu Rimatara
The ship docks at the “Taanini” wharf. A small circular volcanic plateau, Rimatara was the last... see+ 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).

Passengers are welcomed with flower garlands and greeted with the sounds and rhythms unique to Rapa. Trucks will take you to the cultural center, where you’ll discover how the “mamas” craft local items like reed hats and baskets (a delicate material) and bamboo handicrafts.

Raiatea Bora Bora
In the Polynesian Triangle, Raiatea, formerly known as Havai’i, is considered the cradle of... see+ Polynesian civilization.

The ship will dock, and passengers will be welcomed with a tiare behind the ear and the sounds of “to’ere” drums. Buses will be waiting to take you to visit the most spectacular marae in the Polynesian Triangle: Taputapuatea, a 1,000-year-old open-air temple now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is considered the religious and spiritual center of all Polynesia. After lunch is served, you’ll have the afternoon to explore the town of Uturoa, its shops, and the quayside handicrafts.
