Cruise around
French Polynesia

The Island of Taha'a




As it rains on Pacific islands, we got beautiful complete double rainbows


A look at the motus surrounding us


The band welcomes us as we arrive for a day on a motu (Mahana Motu)


The landing area on our motu, looking at the next motu
This is the swimming area, very shallow and with sea cucumbers and sea urchins


On our motu, looking at the next motu






Ladies (vahines) demonstration of the coconut trade



This is how it is grated
Samples to eat


The vanilla grower and the produce: beans, oils, candles, cleansers, tablets...


The sous chef from the ship shows how to prepare marinated tuna


The bar, always fruit in the drinks, and you drink out of coconuts


After lunch


Nothing but palm trees and sand


The ladies farewell



Back on board



Sunset


Sailing for the gap in the reef


Passing the barrier reef


Sunset look back at Taha'a
