Wanna get away!

We love traveling together and chose to spend our honeymoon doing a 7 day trip on a sailing yacht departing from and returning to Papeete in Tahiti! On the cruise, we'll have the opportunity to explore and do day excursions on the islands of Moorea, Raitea, Motu Mahea (Tahaa), Bora Bora, and Huahine. Any money contributed to this fund will help us cover expenses for air fare to/from Tahiti and our time on the ship.

We love traveling, whether for week-long trips or long weekends checking out new places, and our accommodation of choice is usually Air BnB when we go!

Drinks aren't included in the prices of our Tahiti cruise- if you feel so inclined, help us pay for some tropical honeymoon cocktails to toast the start of our marriage :)

For our excursion while docked at Bora Bora, we decided to try out scuba diving! Discover Scuba is offered to those with no dive certification. Our dive will take place at one of the following three sites (weather dependent) Tapu: An ocean dive and one of the most famous dive sites of Bora Bora. From the coral drop-off, you will meet lemon sharks, black tip sharks, humphead maori wrasses, moray eels, turtles. Toopua: A lagoon dive where many tropical fish gather along the wall, among others, anemones and clown fish. At the bottom, you find a large sand bank where eagle rays and sting rays wander searching for food. You will anchor or drift dive depending on the weather conditions. Anau: A lagoon dive in which you will follow a slope where rose corals grow and you are very likely to meet manta rays there.

This is the day excursion we'll be doing on Moorea. The hike starts with a trek up to famous Belvedere Lookout Point boasting gorgeous panoramic views of both Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. The walk continues until you reach the ridge separating Mount Mouaroa (2,887 ft. high) from Mount Tohivea (3,959 ft. high). Although named Three Coconut Trail, there is actually only one coconut palm remaining near the highest point of the trail. This intimate walk is one of the best ways to get a close look at the tropical nature of Tahiti.

For this day excursion on the island of Raiatea, we'll be boarding an outrigger canoe to glide on deep blue waters towards the eastern coast of the island. This tour will then take us upstream on the only navigable river in the Society Islands — the Faaroa River. Along the way, we'll discover the lush vegetation of a tropical forest with wild hibiscus purau trees, bamboo groves, Tahitian chestnut trees, and much more.
