Dreams of Tahiti

Create memories that will last a lifetime as your Windstar yacht sails through the breathtaking islands of Tahiti and French Polynesia. Surrounded by cerulean lagoons, lush tropical landscapes and dramatic volcanic peaks, this unforgettable voyage brings you closer to one of the world’s most beautiful and culturally rich destinations.

Each island offers its own distinctive scenery and spirit. Discover the verdant beauty and sacred heritage of Raiatea, admire Moorea’s dark mountain peaks rising dramatically above the lagoon and watch the sky ignite with color as the sun sets across the South Pacific. Traveling by yacht allows you to experience these remarkable landscapes from an intimate perspective, far removed from the crowds of larger ships.

Windstar’s signature Marina Platform makes the surrounding ocean an extension of the yacht itself. When conditions permit, step directly from the ship into the warm Polynesian waters to swim, snorkel, kayak or paddleboard. Explore colorful coral gardens, drift above schools of tropical fish or simply relax in the calm lagoon with the yacht and palm-fringed shoreline as your backdrop.

Over the course of the journey, visit six spectacular islands that would otherwise be challenging to combine into a single vacation. Carefully curated Tahiti excursions reveal both the celebrated highlights and the traditions that define everyday life throughout French Polynesia.

In romantic Bora Bora, discover legendary white-sand beaches, brilliant turquoise waters and the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Otemanu. A visit to a private motu offers the opportunity to experience the island’s natural beauty in a peaceful and secluded setting. On Huahine, explore ancient archaeological sites and millennium-old ruins that provide a fascinating glimpse into Polynesia’s early history and spiritual traditions.

Overnight stays create opportunities for deeper cultural immersion after many daytime visitors have departed. Spend time with local residents, learn how to tie a traditional pareo and sample regional dishes prepared with fresh island ingredients. These personal encounters offer a meaningful connection to Polynesian culture and the warmth of the communities that call these islands home.

One of the voyage’s most memorable moments is Windstar’s Signature Beach Party. Gather on a beautiful island shore for a barbecue surrounded by tropical scenery, then enjoy a captivating performance of traditional Polynesian music, dance and dazzling fire dancing beneath the evening sky.

From secluded lagoons and ancient cultural sites to vibrant villages and romantic beaches, this voyage captures the extraordinary beauty and enduring spirit of Tahiti. Aboard an intimate Windstar yacht, every day offers a new opportunity to explore, connect and experience French Polynesia in a way that feels both personal and unforgettable.
