Tahitian Escape: Moorea, Bora Bora & Taha’a 11 days/10 Nights

Upon arrival in Tahiti, a quick 10-minute flight or 30-minute ferry brings you to the lush, heart-shaped island of Moorea. You’ll be met and transferred to your hotel, the elegant Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort, where you’ll stay for the next three nights in a Luxury Garden Bungalow. The resort is perched on Temae Beach, widely regarded as the island’s best, offering stunning views, swimmable turquoise water, and vibrant coral just steps from shore. Conveniently located near local restaurants and shops, this is the perfect base for both relaxation and island exploration.

Enjoy two full days to explore or unwind in Moorea. Begin each morning with the sound of waves and the scent of hibiscus in the air. Whether you choose to snorkel directly off the beach, venture inland for a 4×4 safari tour, visit a pineapple plantation, or simply relax under a palm tree, Moorea offers both adventure and serenity. Your mini bar will be restocked daily with complimentary refreshments, including 2 beers, 2 waters, and 2 soft drinks, allowing you to toast each sunset from your private terrace.

Today, you’ll board a short domestic flight to the crown jewel of the South Pacific—Bora Bora. Known for its mesmerizing shades of blue, from aquamarine to deep cerulean, Bora Bora is a true tropical dream. Upon arrival, a boat transfer will whisk you across the lagoon to your accommodation: Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts, a member of Relais & Châteaux, where you’ll stay for three nights in a luxurious Garden Pool Villa.

Spend your days soaking up the iconic beauty of Bora Bora. Swim or kayak in the crystal-clear lagoon, book a jet ski tour around Mount Otemanu, or indulge in a beachfront massage at the resort’s award-winning spa. Your villa offers a private pool and lush garden, creating a serene hideaway between your adventures. A complimentary soft mini bar is refilled daily, so you can enjoy refreshments in the comfort of your villa.

After breakfast, continue your journey to the tranquil and aromatic island of Taha’a, a short flight away followed by a scenic boat transfer. Often referred to as “The Vanilla Island,” Taha’a is home to fragrant vanilla plantations and the world-famous Coral Garden snorkeling site. You’ll spend three nights at the exquisite Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts, another Relais & Châteaux gem, staying in a Taha’a Overwater Suite perched above the lagoon.

These two days are dedicated to pure indulgence and natural beauty. Explore the island’s vanilla farms, snorkel among technicolor coral reefs, or take a private canoe to a secluded motu (islet). The resort is known for its serenity and world-class service, a favorite retreat for repeat guests and the well-traveled elite. Your overwater suite offers direct access to the lagoon and sweeping views—perfect for early morning swims or stargazing at night. A soft mini bar is refilled daily, adding an extra touch of comfort to your stay.

Bid farewell to paradise as you transfer back to the airport for your return journey. A short flight returns you to Papeete, where you’ll connect to your Air Tahiti Nui flight home to Los Angeles. Though your trip comes to an end, the turquoise waters, lush landscapes, and gentle rhythms of the islands will stay with you forever.
