TRAVEL CASE


15 days between the Society Islands and Tuamotu

In most cases you will come to Tahiti in the late evening. My advice is to spend the first night at the Airport Motel is 300m from the airport the next morning and take the first flight to the destination in the islands. The visit to Tahiti reserve last day or two before international departure.

First day: Flight International
Second day: Flight in the morning to Maupiti, a small corner of paradise where peace with the world and begin to taste the sweetness of the South Seas, not by chance that this small island is called Bora, but without the hotel. Here we would stay at least 3 days. The flights from Tahiti are not daily and if you can not fit you can replace this with the Tahaa island, the island's wild or vanilla. This is also a corner of paradise, little tourist.
Day Five: Flight to Bora Bora where he personally would choose a good family pension, but if you take away the whim of a stay in Overwater, well, this may be the right occasion. Even here there remain at least 3 days.
Eighth Day: Flights from Bora to Rangiroa to start living the experience of the atolls.
Here, too, 3 or 4 days
Eleventh Day: Flights from Fakarava to Rangiroa, in my opinion the most beautiful atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago and in fact is preached in order to enter the UNESCO. The links are not Fakarava daily so if you can not find the link you can opt for Tikeau.
In any case I would also here at least 3 days before returning to Tahiti for the international flight.
If you like the idea you can opt for a cruise for 6 days in the Society Islands: Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora.



21gg between the Society Islands, Tuamotu and Austral Islands

Same route last year (15 days), but inserting at the end or after their stay at the Bora flight Rurutu, the Austral Archipelago. The best time to make this trip is between June and September because Australia are a favorite destination for whales. These date back from the cold waters of Polynesia to the south through the breeding season and give birth to calves. A Rurutu there is diving, which organizes trips for whale watching and there is no need to be a sub as snorkeling excursions are made, so just a mask and fins. It 'an unforgettable experience in an equally memorable journey.


30 days of the Society and Marquesas Islands


In most cases you will come to Tahiti in the late evening. My advice is to spend the first night at the Airport Motel is 300m from the airport the next morning and take the first flight to the destination in the islands. The visit to Tahiti reserve last day or two before international departure.

First day: Flight International
Second day: Flight in the morning to Maupiti, a small corner of paradise where peace with the world and begin to taste the sweetness of the South Seas, not by chance that this small island is called Bora, but without the hotel. Here we would stay at least 3 days. The flights from Tahiti are not daily and if you can not fit you can replace this with the Tahaa island, the island's wild or vanilla. This is also a corner of paradise, little tourist.
Day Five: Flight to Bora Bora where he personally would choose a good family pension, but if you take away the whim of a stay in Overwater, well, this may be the right occasion. Even here there remain at least 3 days. Alternatively you can opt for Tahaa and Huahine

The best way to visit the archipelago of the Marquesas is by sea, by air you are going to visit only Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa. From Tahiti part a ship, the Aranui, which is a mixed cargo, but the new ship Aranui3 favors more like a cruise to cargo.
The itinerary and information on the cruise: http://www.aranui.com/download/aranui-Italio.pdf

ports of call: Papeete, Fakarava, navigation, Ua Pou, Nuku Hiva, Hiva Oa, Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, Ua Huka, Nuku Hiva, navigation, Rangiroa Papeete

Departure: 28 February / 21 March / 11 April / May 23 / June 13 / July 4 / July 25 / August 15 / September 5 / September 26 / 17 October / 7 November / 28 November / December 19

The cruise lasts for 14 days with departure and return to Papeete. The cost of the cabin overlooking the sea is about € 3400, but there is also an opportunity to embark on Nuku Hiva, take a cruise on the islands of the Marquesas and then landed again on Nuku Hiva. This cruise lasts for 7 days.

It will be a journey within a journey, a chance to live "the other Polynesian."


Chile, Rapanui (Easter Island), Polynesia


This is also a wonderful journey and an opportunity to visit places "across the world."
It 's a travel schedule flexible depending on the time available.
In any case, I suggest do not go below 20 days.
This tour includes a departure from Madrid, with Iberia generally http://www.iberia.com/ # or http://www.lan.com with Lan Chile, the departure from Madrid is normally in the afternoon arrival is Early morning in Santiago, Chile.
You can choose to stay in Chile on the outward or return journeys, as well as their stay at Rapanui (Easter Island). To get an idea about programming this part of the trip I suggest you visit http://www.exploringchile.com/.
The part of the route that provides Polynesia can choose between the hypotheses of the previous trip.
