Wild Wonders And Active Adventures In The Pacific

Dazzled by a rainbow of colors, French artist Gauguin found endless inspiration in the Pacific’s romantically remote islands – invitingly blue ocean, deliciously pink frangipani flowers, and precious black pearls darker than the night.

French Polynesia

Serendipity I is sailing the Pacific. Discover the 121 islands of French Polynesia, favored for their pristine beaches and rich culture. Play with dolphins in Rangiroa’s Tiputa Pass, or have a Polynesian tattoo inked by a traditional artist.

Further afield, the far-flung Marquesas Islands are the heartland of an ancient Polynesian belief system. Spiritually revived by a younger generation, temple ruins and tiki statues serve as a link to seafaring ancestors. Even today, life in the archipelago revolves around water. From the humpbacks greeting snorkellers in Moorea between mid-August and mid-October to the Olympics-worthy waves challenging surfers on Tahiti, this is a destination ruled by marine giants.

Tailor Your Trip

There’s “off the beaten path” … and then there is this: a sailing trip to shine an inspiring new light on some truly extraordinary places, each offering its own vision of paradise on earth. In the Cook Islands, it’s black pearls and a chance to swim in clear waters alive with sea turtles and fish. The names Tahiti and Bora Bora conjure images of tropical beaches and endless coral reefs, yet there is so much more to French Polynesia than water sports and idyllic beachfront resorts. Nothing takes you deeper into the diverse cultures of this intriguing island nation, cruising to the far-flung edges of the Tuamotu, Marquesas and Society Islands to reveal local traditions, artisanal villages, uninhabited atolls and archeological finds seldom experienced by outsiders.

Fiji

No one sets foot on Fiji without being serenaded with the Bula Muleya, the smiling islanders’ singsong welcome, as they slip salusalu flower garlands over your head. Bula means “life”, but on this tropical archipelago in the Pacific it’s used as a greeting and a blessing, too. Lean into the kava ceremonies, coconut bowling, and lovo cooking.

The backdrop of castaway islands, white-sand beaches, lush rainforests, limestone caves and soft-coral reefs certainly doesn’t hurt, while rainforest canopy tours or shark dives are waiting around the corner. Fiji is governed by water, and surfers dream of the top-quality barrels at Cloudbreak. Scuba divers can log turtles, sharks, manta rays, marlin and barracuda at over 44 sites including a plane wreck, pinnacles and underwater caves. But far-flung Fiji has also perfected the pursuits of romance and relaxation: adopting the island’s go-with-the-flow attitude will leave space for moments of magic.
