    • Makatea, French Polynesia
    An uplifted coral atoll, the island of Makatea is among the Pacific's most unusual and geologically fascinating landforms. Raised dramatically from the sea by tectonic forces, Makatea stands in striking contrast to the region's low-lying atolls, with towering limestone cliffs and rugged elevated terrain. So distinctive is this rare formation that the island's name has become the term used for uplifted coral atolls around the world. Spend the day with your naturalists and local guides, in search of endemic fruit doves and a myriad of seabirds. Explore the island's limestone caves and swim in the crystal-clear waters of its stalactite- and stalagmite-filled grotto. Back onboard this evening, gather with fellow travelers for a farewell dinner as you celebrate your journey through French Polynesia. ...
