Though Easter Island is more often approached from Chile, it is equally accessible
from French Polynesia; this itinerary combines the picture-perfect beaches of
Bora Bora and Le Taha'a with the mystery and intrigue of Easter Island. Start
in Papeete, where you will connect to a flight to Raiatea Island and then take
a short boat ride to Le Taha'a. This is the most anticipated new resort in French
Polynesia, a secluded island paradise where guests are pampered in deluxe style.
After four days at Le Taha'a, fly to Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited
islands in the world. Spend two days exploring the island and learning about the
ancient moai sculptures that stand guard over the landscape. Among the
highlights of your time there will be a visit to the quarry where the sculptures
were created, a drive to the volcano Rano Kau, and time at the archaeological
zone of Anakena. After Easter Island, return to French Polynesia for an overnight
in Papeete before flying to Bora Bora. For three exquisite days, lap up the calm,
beauty, and solitude at Hotel Bora Bora, the most exclusive and prestigious hotel
on the island. The water in Bora Bora is famous for the spectrum of blue colors
that are visible in it. Take a guided half-day tour of the interior of Bora Bora
while here, but most of your time is reserved for swimming, lounging, and simply
enjoying your own private slice of beachfront paradise.
