Rest one night in Tahiti at the Manava Suite Resort, the newest Tahiti hotel. Next day, take a short flight to Raiatea, where you board a private 38-foot yacht charter with skipper/cook on board. All meals on yacht are included. Visit a vanilla plantation, snorkel in the coral garden, and perhaps visit a pearl farm. Your yacht is equipped with two sea kayaks, two floating hammocks, snorkeling gear, and one fishing rod.
One dinner is included on your itinerary at the luxurious Le Taha'a Island Resort and Spa, an intimate Relais and Chateaux gem. After sailing for 3 nights, arrive at the romantic Bora Bora Pearl, where you have your own private overwater bungalow to enjoy the crystal blue waters in seclusion and privacy.
