Overview
Trip Overview
Drift into the heart of French Polynesia on a voyage shaped by sapphire seas, sacred legends, and unforgettable island moments. This small-ship journey begins and ends in Papeete, Tahiti's vibrant capital, where lively markets brim with black pearls and fragrant vanilla, and the spirit of the islands pulses through every colourful street.
As you glide from island to island, each stop reveals its own unique rhythm. Moorea invites exploration, from forested hikes along the Three Coconut Trail to kayaking in jewel-toned waters. Raiatea, once the cultural soul of the Society Islands, offers ancient marae and the mysterious tiare apetahi flower, found nowhere else on Earth. Nearby, Taha'a whispers with the sweet scent of vanilla and the secrets of sacred Polynesian sites.
On Motu Mahaea, a private island paradise, the day is yours to snorkel, swim, or simply unwind beneath swaying palms. A special evening event unfolds here, where fire dancers light up the night in a celebration reserved for Windstar guests. Huahine, known as the "Garden of Eden," is slower-paced and rich in archaeological wonders and village charm. It’s a glimpse into a quieter Polynesia, where traditions linger and the water teems with marine life.
Whether you're sailing, snorkelling, or strolling a white-sand shore, this journey connects you deeply to the natural beauty and ancient spirit of the South Pacific.

Raiatea, "The Sacred Island," is located just across the lagoon from Tahaa and shares the same barrier reef. (Legend claims the two were a single island until a conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess separated them.) It used to be the center of religion and culture in the Society Islands. Taputapuatea, on the southeast coast, was once the most important marae around, the place where kings from the neighbouring islands would gather for important ceremonies. Uturoa, the main town, reminds some people of Papeete in its younger days with its quaint low-rise buildings. Raiatea is also home to the only navigable river in the islands, the Fa'aroa. Explore Polynesian history or climb Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower, which grows only here.

Our stay here allows plenty of time to capture the beauty in photographs - and you'll want plenty. These stunning waters will show a different kaleidoscope of blue in each frame. You'll have lots of options for exploration, whether you prefer the access provided by a 4-by-4 or the thrill of riding in the open air. Stretch out on stunning white-sand beaches, dive and swim in brightly colored seas, or sail among the tiny islands and lagoons. But the highlight here will be the Windstar Exclusive Destination Discovery Event on a private motu complete with fire dancers. This is the stuff that dreams are made of and available to small ships.
