Day 4 - October 03, 2026

Raiatea

Raiatea, known as "The Sacred Island," is a place of both timeless beauty and intriguing history. It shares a coral barrier reef with its neighboring island, Tahaa—a connection that folklore says was broken apart by a magical conger eel guided by a princess's spirit. Once the cultural and religious heart of the Society Islands, Raiatea is home to Taputapuatea, an ancient marae on the southeast coast where leaders from nearby islands gathered for rituals and ceremonies. The main town, Uturoa, charms visitors with its quaint, low-rise architecture, reminiscent of Papeete in its earlier days. Nature's wonders also abound here: explore Fa’aroa, the only navigable river in French Polynesia, or scale Mount Temehani in search of the rare tiare apetahi flower that grows exclusively on this island.

Day 5 - October 04, 2026

Raiatea

Welcome to Raiatea, crowned as the "Sacred Island," and steeped in Polynesian myths and traditions. Nestled within the same vibrant barrier reef as its neighbor Tahaa, Raiatea offers an enchanting gateway into both nature and history. According to local lore, what is now two islands was once one, until mystical forces created the divide. This island was the heartbeat of culture and spirituality for the Society Islands, with Taputapuatea marae—on the southeast coast—serving as a gathering ground for royal ceremonies centuries ago. Today, you’ll find Uturoa, the main town, evoking a nostalgic charm with its low-rise buildings reminiscent of Papeete's early years. Do not miss the rare beauty of the tiare apetahi flower, found nowhere else on Earth, or cruise the island's singular navigable river, Fa’aroa. Whether you're captivated by the past or inspired by natural wonders, Raiatea invites exploration at every turn.
