Almost three weeks of pure South Seas dreams - luxury holiday with private sailing trip
"Island hopping the special way" could be the motto of this dream voyage. The yacht slowly parts the crystal-clear waters, sailing through turquoise-coloured lagoons against a bright blue sky. Shallow waters alternate with white, palm-fringed sandy beaches and lush green jungle landscapes on romantic atolls. Mountains and volcanoes stretch upwards on islands. Sea turtles paddle leisurely past. Dolphins and colourful schools of fish appear and disappear before your eyes. It feels like you can see for miles into the depths and into the distance, into a fantastic play of colours in soft aqua tones. Pure South Sea romance! On the private yacht as well as in the luxurious resorts. Suites on stilts hover above the water, inviting you to relax in exclusive luxury and fulfil the dream of your South Seas journey - unforgettable sunsets, the gentle sounds of the ukulele and the martial songs of the Tahitians included.

"Sure, it's a long way, but it's worth it! Even for the well-travelled guest, the South Seas are still something very special and cannot be compared with anything else. The magic of the South Seas lives on! And anyone who has been there once cannot escape this magic and wants to come back again and again and experience this dream live as often as possible. That's what happened to me too. Above all, it's the lovely people, their warm-heartedness, their smiles and their openness that touch me so much every time."
Flight to Paris and on to Tahiti
You fly out from Germany, Austria or Switzerland in the early afternoon. The first stop on your luxury trip to the South Pacific is Paris. You continue with Air Tahtiti Nui in the new Dreamliner with a stopover in Los Angeles to Papeete on Tahiti. If you wish, you can interrupt your journey here and spend a few days in Los Angeles. With Air Tahiti Nui you will arrive in Tahiti around midnight.
Arrival in Papeete, Tahiti
Ia orana! Welcome to Tahiti. You will arrive in Papeete on the main island of Tahiti early in the morning with Air France. You will be welcomed with a warm "Ia Orana" and a lei flower wreath and then taken to your hotel by private transfer. Here we have booked your room for an early check-in so that you can move into it immediately. If you like, you can then enjoy a wonderful open-air breakfast with a dream view across the lagoon to the sister island of Moorea.
1 overnight stay at the 5★ InterContinental Tahiti Resort, Panoramic Room incl. American breakfast – Details about the hotel
Once you arrive at the hotel, you can relax for a while. In the afternoon, your private guide will pick you up for a stroll through Papeete. Among other things, the market hall is on the agenda here. You will then go on a private tour of part of the rather large island. You will follow in the footsteps of Paul Gauguin to the most beautiful places in Tahiti. Of course, a visit to the Paul Gauguin Museum is a must. Let yourself be carried away into the life and work of the famous painter and then stroll through the remarkable botanical garden.
A tip for the evening: Visit the performances of traditional Tahitian dances, which are performed directly in the restaurant on Wednesdays and Fridays. You can also choose from a buffet of delicious and exotic dishes. We recommend booking in advance, which we will be happy to do for you.
Papeete, Tahiti - Moorea
After a delicious breakfast, it's a relaxed drive in a private car to the harbour for the ferry crossing to Moorea, Tahiti's beautiful sister. Alternatively, you can fly over in just 7 minutes. Moorea rises majestically out of the sea like a cathedral. High, sharp-edged, green peaks, surrounded by clouds. Between the steep peaks, picturesque waterfalls cascade over fern-covered rocks into the valley. Idyllic meadows, flanked by emerald-green mountain peaks, once again make you feel the majesty of nature. Around the island, the pastel-coloured houses with their gardens full of hibiscus and birds of paradise delight the senses and remind us of what is important in life: La vie heureuse, as they say in Tahiti, a happy life. The beauty of Moorea remains unforgettable.
A private car takes you across the green island with its curved bays to the InterContinental Resort & Spa Moorea 4.5★, where you will stay in an overwater bungalow.
