Just arrive and unwind.

Region: Pacific (Polynesia)

Französisch-Polynesien zwischen Tahiti, Bora Bora und den Tuamotus zählt zu den außergewöhnlichsten Segelrevieren der Welt. 118 Inseln und Atolle verteilen sich auf eine Meeresfläche so groß wie Europa - mit zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Inseltypen: den hohen vulkanischen Gesellschaftsinseln mit ihren grünen Bergsilhouetten und den flachen Korallenringen des Tuamotu-Archipels.

Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine und Raiatea bilden das Herz des Reviers. Lagunen in unwirklichem Türkis, durch vorgelagerte Korallenriffe vor dem offenen Pazifik geschützt, Mantarochen und Schwarzspitzen-Riffhaie im flachen Wasser, polynesische Tanzabende im Lichtkegel des Vollmonds. Vom Schiff aus erreicht man Marae-Tempel im Dschungel, Schwarzperl-Farmen in den Lagunen und versteckte Strände, an die Pirogen-Fahrer einen für ein Picknick absetzen.

Die Tuamotus mit Rangiroa und Fakarava sind das andere Polynesien: Atolle mit nur wenigen Metern Höhe über dem Meer, Drift-Schnorcheln durch die Passes mit Tausenden von Fischen, fast unbewohnt. Frischer Fisch aus der Lagune (oft Mahi-Mahi oder Thunfisch), Tahitisches Poisson Cru in Kokosmilch, Tiare-Blüten zur Begrüßung. Reisezeit ganzjährig möglich, am stabilsten Mai bis Oktober (Trockenzeit). Distanzen zwischen den Gesellschaftsinseln überschaubar, das Wasser innerhalb der Riffe meist ruhig.
