Huahine & the Society Islands
The Society Islands, the green volcanic peaks of Huahine, Raiatea, Taha'a and Bora Bora rising from turquoise lagoons, are made for sailing, and a cruise or yacht charter is one of the most romantic ways to see them. They cluster close together in the warm western waters of French Polynesia, an easy sail or short hop apart, and from the water they are at their most beautiful, the peaks catching the morning light as the lagoons shift through every shade of blue.
You glide between islands, dropping anchor in empty lagoons to snorkel, paddle and swim, then go ashore for a vanilla farm on Taha'a, a sacred marae on Raiatea, the cultural cradle of Polynesia, or the sleepy, unspoiled charm of Huahine. The pace is yours to set, with long lazy hours over the side of the boat and quiet coves that the day boats never reach, the kind of slow, unhurried travel these islands were made for.
Whether on a small luxury cruise ship, a crewed catamaran or a bareboat charter, the rhythm is the same: wake in a new lagoon each morning, and let the islands and the trade winds set the pace. We handle the flights into Tahiti, the choice of vessel and the route through the islands, so all you have to do is step aboard and settle into the gentle rhythm of the lagoon.
