Leeward Islands (7 days)

The Leeward Islands form the western part of the Society Archipelago.
They are high volcanic islands quite close to each other and surrounded by turquoise-blue lagoons. Bora Bora is definitely the most famous of them, on account of its magnificent lagoon. However, the other islands are every bit as good as Bora Bora with their diversity, beauty and most of all their inhabitants whose friendliness is legendary..

society islands with archipels cruises

The cruise is one of the most popular in the tropical islands and has a lot to offer. It is suited to everyone, a week-long adventure at a leisurely pace that takes visitors mostly inside the tranquil lagoons that lie round the islands (three hours of ocean sailing twice only is scheduled) to discover the islands of Bora Bora, Tahaa, Raiatea and Huahine.

Your catamaran's shallow draft is definitely an advantage in that you alone are able to sail into the finest lagoon areas that most boats cannot access.

Cruising is truly the way to discover the islands, with a wide range of land and nautical activities (4x4 excursions around the island of Tahaa, a exciting botanical tour in itself – romantic jaunts to white sand islets – frequent kayak or dinghy rides - fishing or snorkeling in the lagoon - manta rays, sharks and other lagoon fish watching - visit to typical island villages).
