From there, your route moves through the island of Raiatea-Tahaa and to Bora Bora, beginning with culture, calm, and warm island rhythms before opening out into full lagoon glamour. Add the option to return home via Seattle, and the whole trip takes on a smooth, satisfying flow from the very first day.

Day 4
Overnight flight
Settle in for your overnight flight to Tahiti. You land early enough to continue straight on to Raiatea-Taha'a without losing any of the day.
Days 5-7
Raiatea-Taha'a
Arrive in Tahiti, connect to your short domestic flight, and then take a boat across the lagoon to Motu Tautau, home to Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts. Your Pool Beach Villa gives you a quiet stretch of sand, privacy, and the soft sound of the lagoon right outside your terrace. You can walk the grounds of Taputapuatea, one of the most important cultural sites in the Pacific, glide along the Faaroa River in a kayak, explore the island’s fragrant vanilla plantations, or head inland for walks through shaded forest and hilltop lookouts. The lagoon is vast and calm, perfect for snorkelling and paddleboarding.
