Just the two of you

 

You and me, eyes in eyes, in the light of a sunset on Bora-Bora, lengthened on trampoline of a beautiful catamaran … We would imagine there almost …

Honeymoon, wedding anniversary or just loving escapade, the lagoons of Polynesia are the ideal frame of these romantic breakaways. Two privative cruises in Leewards Island were imagined to allow you to realize this dream. Leave 4 days / 3 nights (cruise Iti Iti - " small small " in Tahitian) or more for 7 days / 6 nights (Twosome cruise) and discover the magic of our islands.

Just the two of you on board of a 38 feet catamaran, your skipper / guide / cook will make every effort to make you live these unforgettable instants …

Discover our Dance Traditions

 

Commonly called Tamure, our traditional dances or Ori Tahiti are an essential element of Polynesian cultural heritage. The Heiva i Tahiti is THE annual highlight that brings together all those who love this art, for dancers young and old, for semi-professionals and amateurs alike. The dancers dream about and prepare for the event all year long. So it’s a not-to-be-missed opportunity to admire a whole range of different traditional Polynesian dance forms. Allow me to present two of the best known: the Ote’a and the Aparima.
