Let’s face it: French Polynesian Islands are exotic first, but visiting this part of the South Pacific through yacht-sized boats takes you further into culture, hospitality and natural wonders. Offering real greetings is a real experience and providing adventures to a small group of respectable guests is a sign of small boat cruises anywhere, especially in French Polynesia.
“In a region with so many intimate islands, our 36-year operation of the boat in French Polynesia also means we know its people, customs and treasures,” said Janet Bava, chief commercial officer of Windstar. “Whether your interests are in water sports, dance and music, delicious marine-style cuisine, exploring its solid natural beauty or trying local artistic efforts, those who are integrated into French Polynesia will change you.”
It’s a surprise: Just as you arrive, far from the real world, the trip to Tahiti, France’s Polynesia (where the island’s main international airport is) is not as long as you would expect. Gateways like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle can travel from about eight hours of highways.
