South Pacific Cruises

As navigator Loïck Peyron said,
« The most beautiful journey is the one we haven’t taken yet. »

A Human Adventure

Prepare yourself for the most beautiful journey and join us aboard the Tuhaa Pae IV for a warm and human adventure through the Australes Islands of French Polynesia.

Beyond the cliché of a postcard, this unique and atypical cruise will take you off the beaten path and into the heart of life in the Pacific islands.

From Tahiti to Rapa, via Tubuai, Rurutu, Rimatara, and Raivavae, let yourself be moved by the authenticity of its people with their laughing eyes and smiles marked by salt and sun.

Each island, in turn, will charm you with its cultural and artisanal specificities.

The Classic Cruise of the Australes Islands

Discover the Australes lands and their people with the classic circuit.

This 6-day and 7-night cruise will take you from Tahiti, the main island of French Polynesia, to Rimatara, the smallest of the Australes Islands.

You will then sail to Rurutu, “the island of whales,” renowned for its pandanus fiber basketry, then to Tubuai and its wonderful lagoon with turquoise waters.

Finally, you will set course for Raivavae where you can discover the famous sewn canoes or the “Smiling Tiki” before returning to Papeete, the capital of Tahiti.

The Great Cruise of the Australes Islands
