Itinerary
Day 1 Papeete
Embarking on Star Breeze in the evening allows guests to spend the day exploring the beautiful city of Papeete, from its sunny beaches to its mouth-watering Tahitian cuisine and effervescent spirit. After embarking, take the time to get to know the crew and your fellow guests while exploring the vessel that will be your "home" for the next 7 days.
Day 2 Papeete Moorea
Welcome to paradise, where stunning surroundings call for endless superlatives. During your stay, you will have plenty of time to indulge in all that this beautiful place has to offer. Consider honing your photography skills on an optional tour of the island with a professional photographer (additional costs may apply), or choose from a range of other activities such as hiking the majestic Three Coconut Trail, visiting dolphins in their natural habitat, or swimming and kayaking from Wind Spirit's Watersports Platform while anchored in these sapphire seas. Your choices are endless.
Day 3 Moorea Raiatea
Raiatea, also known as "The Sacred Island," is situated just across the lagoon from Taha'a and shares the same barrier reef. According to legend, the two islands were once a single landmass until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them. Raiatea used to be the religious and cultural center of the Society Islands, with Taputapuatea on the southeast coast serving as the most important marae, where kings from neighboring islands would gather for significant ceremonies. The main town of Uturoa is reminiscent of a younger Papeete, with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the Fa'aroa, the only navigable river in the islands. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows exclusively here.
