Day-by-Day Itinerary
Bora Bora
Arrive at Papeete Faa'a International Airport (PPT) and take an inter-island Air Tahiti flight to Bora Bora (BOB). The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort will greet you at the airport with tropical leis and transfer you by private resort boat across the lagoon to the resort. Check in to your villa and spend the evening on your private terrace as the sun sets over Mount Otemanu.

Swim in the lagoon, visit a working pearl farm, take a glass-bottom boat tour, or simply relax on the soft sands of Matira Beach. Your Guardian Angel service ensures every wish is anticipated.
Accommodation: The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort
Bora Bora
Departure 23:59. Transfer from Bora Bora to Papeete via Air Tahiti and board EVRIMA. Papeete pulses with rhythm – market stalls piled high with vanilla pods and papayas, voices rising over the scent of monoi oil and freshly baked baguettes. Local artists carve Polynesian folklore into wood and musicians tune ukuleles beneath towering flame trees. As the capital, Papeete balances city life with postcard-perfect beaches. Shore excursions: Private Car/Van with Driver (4 or 8 hours).
Accommodation: EVRIMA, a Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection vessel, Bora Bora
Taha'a
Arrival 12:00 / Departure 21:00. Flower-shaped Taha'a floats in the same turquoise lagoon as Raiatea and Bora Bora – close in distance, yet a world apart. The scent of vanilla drifts on the breeze, and family-run estates share their stories of how each orchid is hand-pollinated in a ritual known as 'marrying the vanilla.' Taste the island's artisanal rum distilled from heritage sugarcane and infused with vanilla or local tropical fruits. Shore excursions: Snorkeling with Sharks, The Essence of Taha'a (Vanilla, Pearls & Rum), Open-Air Safari Truck Island Exploration, Champagne Sunset Cruise, Coral Garden Drift Snorkeling, Private Snorkeling Discovery, Taha'a 1-Tank Private Scuba Dive.

Huahine
HUAHINE, French Polynesia. Arrival 08:00 / Departure 19:00. Taking its name from vahine, the Tahitian word for woman, Huahine is a destination immersed in Polynesian folklore.

Traditional artisan craftwork is a specialty, including exquisite wood carvings and hand-engraved mother-of-pearl jewelry.
