    • Makatea, French Polynesia
    An uplifted coral atoll, the island of Makatea is one of the most unique landforms in the Pacific. It is a raised coral atoll that is tilted due to plate tectonics and appears much different than the other islands in the region, containing spectacular vertical cliffs. This specific island of Makatea gives its name to all other uplifted coral atolls worldwide. Spend the day exploring the island's limestone caves and grottos with your expedition team and local guides, or search for endemic fruit doves and myriad seabirds. (B,L,D) ...

    Raiatea, French Polynesia
    • Raiatea, French Polynesia
    • Tahaa, French Polynesia
    Encircled by a single fringing reef, and sharing a common lagoon, Ra'iatea and Taha'a are islands well worth exploring. One of the most important cultural sites in the Polynesian world, Marae Taputapuatea was a center for Polynesian seafarers and the location from which they set out for Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Hawai'i, and New Zealand. Our afternoon is spent at Taha'a where we'll visit a family-run vanilla plantation and spend time snorkeling in the crystalline lagoons, where we'll encounter black-tipped reef sharks. (B,L,D) ...
