Highlights of South Pacific Adventure Cruising

Snorkeling in Bora Bora

The turquoise waters of Bora Bora are some of the most lusted after by travellers around the world. The protected lagoon and colourful coral reef make for a perfect snorkeling spot, where animal-lovers can keep an eye out for the sharks and sting rays that live here.

4 x 4 tour of Huahine

Huahine is a colossal tropical jungle burgeoning with coconut plantations, vanilla orchids, banana groves, breadfruit trees and watermelon fields. Take a 4x4 vehicle around the island to visit the small villages of Fare and Maeva, an ancient archaeological site, and a vanilla plantation.

Speed boating on Faaroa River

Take part in a speed boat ride down Faaroa River with an expert local guide leading the way. You’ll end up at the ancient marae (temple) at Taputapuatea, which was recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can enjoy a picnic lunch of local fare.

Spot dolphins in Rangiroa

Go dolphin watching in Tiputa Pass and see these incredible wild mammals playing together in the water. This area is known for its bottlenose dolphins, who love to show off, surfing on the waves and often curiously coming up towards any boats in the area to have a better look.
