If heaven were a place on Earth, Polynesia would probably be it. This part of the world has always fascinated and moved anyone who has ever stopped here. And with good reason: here, nature has the power to enchant and has been creating extraordinary landscapes for thousands of years. During a brand-new 14-day expedition cruise aboard Le Boréal, in the heart of breathtaking panoramas, among other things, you will discover the hypnotic beauty of the cliffs of Makatea, a unique coral atoll with a fascinating history, admire the mysterious peaks of Moorea surrounded by crystal-clear waters, or take part in the incredible dance of the abundant marine fauna in Rangiroa, one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. The Windward Islands, the Tuamotus, the Marquesas... the mere mention of these archipelagos is enough to set you off on your journey and have you imagining the heavenly scenery that will soon appear before you. Polynesia is to be experienced and explored to discover lush nature in its raw state. The local guides, experts in this region, as well as a team of naturalists will lead you on hikes discovering the most beautiful landscapes in the area, like the secretive Anaho Bay on the island of Nuku Hiva, the Bay of Virgins on the island of Fatu Hiva, or the Ua Pou waterfall, a very special spot for swimming. On the way, admire the trails carpeted with flowers in stunning colours and let yourself be lulled by the song of local birds. On the Polynesian beaches, another spectacle awaits. In Rangiroa, which is as famous for the beauty of its lagoon as for the diversity of its marine fauna, you will be able to admire a multitude of fish, grey sharks and even bottlenose dolphins at times, during snorkelling or diving sessions. On the island of Fakarava, the fine sandy beach stretches out in a long wild expanse, surrounding the world’s second-largest lagoon, which is truly an invitation to lose yourself in thought. On Makatea, the singularity of the island is simply striking. The limestone cliffs, standing up to 100 metres (328 feet) high, rise magnificently from the crystal-clear waters, creating a unique karst landscape. The roaring forces of the planet may well enabled the increased height of this coral atoll when Moorea was formed, yet this fascinating panorama has also been marked by human hands. The island’s mining past and phosphate production have left deep marks, including some chasms, now covered by dense tropical forest, plunging over 45 metres (148 feet) deep. In this labyrinth of rocks and vegetation, inhabited by fewer than 80 people, admire the underwater caves and the breathtaking viewpoints. The serenity that emanates from Polynesia is intrinsically tied to its unique culture. On your trip, discover the delicate island arts and crafts, as illustrated by the tifaifai, the traditional paintings or the musical instruments. On Rangiroa, the expertise associated with pearl cultivation is revealed during a visit to a pearl farm. In the Marquesas, travel back in time via the Sacred Upeke archaeological sites on Hiva Oa or via the ‘petroglyphs’ or ancient rock art on Fatu Hiva, depicting people, gods, animals, and more. In Hatiheu, on the island of Nuku Hiva, enjoy the conviviality of the inhabitants as well as the island’s many flavours during a traditional Marquesan banquet, known as Kai Kai. On Tahuata, the smallest inhabited island in the archipelago, the village of Hapatoni promises wonderful moments of discussion and sharing. Discover the richness of the Polynesian civilisation by exploring its myriad facets.
