You will find below a few examples of itineraries most commonly used to help you in building your trip (subject to change without notice).


Practical recommendations :

• Islands in brackets are interchangeable.
For example: Itinerary Tahiti - [Moorea – Bora Bora] – Tahiti. The islands of Moorea and Bora Bora are interchangeable in the itinerary suggested.


• On holiday, time is precious! If you don’t want to lose time, we recommend you to visit an Archipelago after another.


• Some islands are hubs to go from one Archipelago to another. For example, the Bora Bora island is the hub to go from the Society Archipelago to the Tuamotu Archipelago without coming back to Tahiti.





The Society Archipelago


The Society archipelago is a group of high islands including the island of Tahiti (the largest of French Polynesia), but also, Moorea, a lush island with two extraordinary bays, Huahine, a preserved heaven hosting a rich archaeological heritage, and Raiatea, also called the “sacred island” and considered as the cradle of Polynesian culture. From Raiatea, a boat will take you to Tahaa (sharing the same lagoon), an island untamed and appreciated for her authentic charm.

The world famous island of Bora Bora is also part of this archipelago. Called the "Pearl of the Pacific", it’s a romantic island gifted with a lagoon of extraordinary beauty. Maupiti, a few miles away from Bora Bora, is a preserved and authentic place, nestled in the heart of a jade lagoon.

Air Tahiti operates connections between the islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea, and Maupiti.
