Itinerary
Day 1 Fly USA to Papeete
Please note international air from the USA has not been included in the package price.
Once you clear customs and immigration, look for your name on the board. Your Tekura Tahiti representative will assist you to the vehicle for your transfer to The Radisson Plaza Resort.
Papeete, the capital and commercial hub of French Polynesia, hosts the government offices, hospitals, banks, airline and travel agencies, boutiques and black pearl shops. The Central Market (Marché Central) is a must, located 1 block behind the waterfront. You will see traditional Tahitian crafts, flowers, fruits, fish and other produce. The waterfront is attractive, with a tree lined promenade along a marina with an international yachting community.
Day 2 Fly Papeete to Manihi
Please wait in the hotel lobby area for your transfer to Papeete airport for your flight to Manihi. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your accommodation.
Manihi conjures up castaway dreams of a tropical isle. Far from the modern world, the crystal-clear lagoon was once filled with mother-of-pearl and is the site of Tahiti's first black pearl farm. Today, Manihi is still the leading supplier for the Tahitian cultured pearl industry.
Days 3-4 At leisure Manihi
Besides the pearl farms, visitors enjoy exploring the lagoon and the main village of Turipaoa. There are few cars here so walking around the town square and along the coral paths is as peaceful and romantic as the lagoon itself.
Day 5 Fly Manihi to Tikehau Transfer to Manihi airport for your flight to Tikehau. On arrival you will be transferred to your hotel.
Tikehau, a graceful oval crown of pink-sand beaches, can only be described as a picture postcard. Considered to be one of the most beautiful atolls in Polynesia, the fragrance of the air is matched only by the abundance of life in the bright-blue water. The friendly people, their homes awash with gardens, invite you to share and explore their world beyond imagination.
Days 6-7 At leisure Tikehau
Just some of the activities at Tikehau include trips to a natural motu, visits to the natural lagoon aquarium, excursions to the island of birds, visits to the village of Tuherahwe, sunset cruises or visits to a pearl farm.
Day 8 Fly Tikehau to Bora Bora
Today transfer by boat to Raiatea airport for your flight to Bora Bora. On arrival at Bora Bora airport, you will be met and assisted to the boat for your transfer to the hotel.
Day 9 Tour – Half day Lagoonarium & Shark Feeding
Travel around the island of Bora Bora by outrigger canoe, cruising the most beautiful lagoon in the world. A stop is made near the reef to wait for young sharks, which are attracted by the smell of fish thrown into the water. Equipped with snorkel gear, you may enjoy the underwater view of those sharks and the colorful corals around the site. From here the tour continues to the natural lagoonarium. Each kind of tropical fish has their own park: Rays and sharks, turtles, giant mussels, lobsters and many varieties of multi-colored fish. Fresh local fruits and coconut drinks will be offered, and you have time to walk around this small island, before the return to your hotel.
Day 10 At leisure, Bora Bora
This island offers a multitude of activities and excursions, one of the most popular being the shark's "breakfast" where from chest-deep water you watch local divers feed 4' to 5' reef sharks by hand. It's a lot of fun and totally safe. The same routine is done with a large group of friendly stingrays.
Tourist facilities are not too numerous, and understated enough so as not to alter the landscape's beauty.
Day 11 Fly Bora Bora to USA (Via Papeete)
Say goodbye to Tahitian paradise as you transfer by boat to the airport for your return journey to the USA.
