Papeete, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Cross equator, Kahului, Honolulu, Kona,

Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia, in the Pacific Ocean. The city is located on the island of Tahiti. It is not the typical tropical paradise but more of an industrial port and a very busy town center with heavy traffic. The French and Polynesian charm is present in small doses. 

Raiatea, is the second largest of the Society Islands, after Tahiti, in French Polynesia. The island is regarded as the 'center' of the eastern islands in ancient Polynesia. There is a variety of historical sites to visit on the island and attractions to explore like Faaroa Bay and the botanical gardens.

Bora Bora is an island of French Polynesia and a very popular tourist destination. The island is surrounded by a coral reef and turquoise lagoons. The center of the island is dominated by the two peaks of an extinct volcano. From this spot, guests can enjoy the breathtaking views.

Today we reach the Hawaiian island of Maui and its beautiful town of Kahului, from which we have the chance to visit majestic natural wonders, past fields of swaying sugar cane. You can take a tour to Iao Valley State Monument, a scenic viewpoint of Kuka‘emoku ('Iao Needle), an erosional feature which abruptly rises 1200 feet from the valley and is dedicated to the god of the ocean, or drive the scenic road that winds its way up Haleakala Crater, known as the House of the Sun, to enjoy spellbinding views.

Visit the Hawaiian capital and its signature beach, Waikiki. From here, you can  explore the dormant volcano of Diamond Head, see Pearl Harbor U.S. naval base, the military target that ignited American entry into World War II and get to know one part of that history at the USS Arizona Memorial and another at the Punchbowl military cemetery.

Once the playground of Hawaii's royalty, the sunny Kona in the Big Island of Hawaii's lava-lined western coast, is synonymous with the premium quality coffee that grows on the slopes of dormant Hualalai. Take a trip back in time and discover some of Hawaii's ancient history, at the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Reserve, take a Kona Coffee Tasting Tour, enjoy the mild waters of the Kona/ Kohola coast, do some wildlife-watching at Kahalu Beach Park.
