+1 212 555 1212

Scattered across the heart of the South Pacific, French Polynesia is a breathtaking collection of volcanic islands, emerald peaks, turquoise lagoons and remarkable coral atolls. Beyond its iconic beauty lies a rich Polynesian culture, where ancient traditions, warm hospitality and a deep connection to the sea have flourished for centuries.

Aboard a small expedition ship, discover the remarkable diversity of the Society Islands, the remote Marquesas and the spectacular Tuamotu Archipelago. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical marine life, kayak through crystal-clear lagoons, hike lush volcanic landscapes and encounter thriving seabird colonies. Along the way, connect with local communities, learn about Polynesian history and traditions, and experience the islands through the insights of expert naturalists and local guides.

Whether exploring the dramatic peaks of Bora Bora and Mo'orea, the coral atolls of the Tuamotus or the cultural treasures of the Marquesas, every expedition reveals a different side of French Polynesia—one that extends far beyond its postcard-perfect beaches.
