Diving Safari in French Polynesia

Only for sophisticated: a 2-week trip to French Polynesia!

Our special trip this year is to the famous but distant French Polynesia. The comprehensive itinerary will include 4 islands – Tahiti, Bora-Bora, Rangiora and Fakarava –, including Rangiora, famous for its sharks. The date for the tour is perfect as this is the season for humpback whales to stay near Tahiti.
