Day 1

Papette, Tahiti, is your portal to paradise. From Marina Taina, your first port of call is Moorea, just 15 miles away. Sharp mountain spires covered in lush, green vegetation dominate this 53-square-mile island. Make a circuit on scooters, with a stop at Island Fashion Black Pearls near Cook's Bay. Surf the southwest coast or snorkel at Hauru Point.

Day 2

Anchor off the beach and tender out to one of the islets where dolphins play. Watch a pearl farmer tend his oyster crop or try a bit of mountain biking toward Belvedere Lookout. Toast the pink-purple sunset on the aft deck.

Day 3

Who needs Tiffany's when you can breakfast off Hauhine surrounded by the vistas of your dreams? Visit quaint shops in the tiny village of Fare or take a horseback ride on the beach. Fishing is good here just outside the reef.

Day 4

A short cruise west brings you to Raiatea's protected lagoon. Don your flippers and mask and jump overboard for an unforgettable snorkeling experience among technicolored tropical fish. The chef brings back fresh vanilla beans for a gourmet dessert served against a backdrop of swaing palms.

Day 5

After a morning dip, a 25-mile passage going with the Pacific tradewinds brings you to mythical Bora Bora, with its twin, black rock peaks rising from the center of the island. Enjoy a torch-lit dinner on the beach.

Day 6

Explore Bora Bora by land, making sure to bring your camera. Climb to the island's highest point to see the entire lagoon at your feet. Explore the inside of the reef in the tender and watch a shark-feeding demonstration by brave islanders before you depart on the evening flight to Tahiti.
