French Polynesia
Sail through the Society Islands, hike the jagged volcanic ridges of Bora Bora and dive on the most remote atolls in the South Pacific.
What to expect
This is a week-long, live-aboard sailing expedition through the Society Islands of French Polynesia.
Our rhythm is dictated by the sea. We’ll spend our days hiking to island views, free-diving ancient coral reefs with manta rays, and sharing chef-prepared meals under the stars.
It’s designed to be grounding, empowering, and genuinely life changing in the best way.
Life onboard
The Vessel
Our home for the week is a Bali 4.5—a catamaran designed for open air living and the ultimate basecamp for our adventures.
The Cabins
Each cabin features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. If traveling solo, you’ll be thoughtfully paired with a guest to ensure the most comfortable experience.
The Island Table
The food is our heartbeat. Expect a menu that honors the tropical rhythms of the Pacific. Expect fresh fish, seasonal fruits, and local flavors to fuel the adventure.
Our Days
Sept 19-25
Step aboard our floating home in the heart of Raiatea. After we settle into our cabins, we’ll pull anchor for a sunset sail to an anchorage. We’ll set our intentions for the week over a delish welcome dinner on deck.
DAY 01 | Arrival
We’ll make our way around the island and go on a drift-snorkel through the Coral Gardens followed by an afternoon trek into a fragrant vanilla plantation on the mainland.
DAY 02 | Western Taha’a
We’ll pull anchor for a 20nm sail toward the mountains of Bora Bora. Look out for whales and dolphins on passage! We’ll spend the afternoon at the sandbar and beach, soaking up every moment.
DAY 03 | The Passage
We’ll trade our fins for hiking boots and go on an epic hike offering 360-degree views of the entire atoll. We’ll spend the evening back on the boat to chill, swim, and whatever your heart desires.
DAY 04 | Bora Bora
A day of deep connection with the underwater world. We’ll navigate to Anau to free-dive with majestic Manta Rays and sharks. We’ll end out the day on a palm-fringed motu.
DAY 05 | The Underwater World
A downwind sail brings us back toward Raiatea. We’ll head to an island to dive the edge of the reef. We’ll watch the sunset over the mountains, enjoying our farewell dinner under the stars.
DAY 06 | The Crystal Reef
We’ll enjoy one last meal together on the water before we say our goodbyes at 9am. You’ll leave with a new community, taking the most beautiful moments with you.
DAY 07 | Fair Winds
Please note: While we aim to follow this journey, our path is always guided by the wind and our captain to ensure the safest and most beautiful experience possible.
