  • Cruising French Polynesia with Children
    Cruising French Polynesia with children Experience Report - July 2018 - www.sy-moya.de Summary We, a family of four, visited French Polynesia including the Marquesean Islands, the Tuamotus and the Society Islands within 2.5 month from May to July 2018 after crossing the Pacific Ocean from Panama. For us French Polynesia is one of the most fascinating places we have been so far. The islands are absolutely stunning, many reefs are pristine with an abundance of wildlife, the culture is rich and the people we encountered as warm and open hearted. Especially, the Tuamotus are not easy to navigate and we experienced some nautical challenges as we entered through the passes into the lagoon, anchored inside the atolls and experienced pacific weather patterns. All of them we managed by thorough planning and were well worth the efforts. FRENCH POLYNESIA WWW.SY-MOYA.DE !1 Our personal top 10 Must Do´s of French Polynesia are: • Marquesas (Nuku Hiva): Visit the beautiful lagoon of Anaho and enjoy the stunning views hiking to the neighboring bay of Hatiheu • Marquesas (Tahuata): Explore the unspoiled villages of Tahuata, get in touch with the locals and participate at one of their religious festivals with beautiful singing • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Walk to the waterfalls and the chocolate farm up in the mountains • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Enjoy a delicious Polynesian dinner at Ti Pierro • Tuamotus (Raroia): Snorkel one of the reeflets inside the lagoon, with it´s clear water and the multi-colored untouched coral • Tuamotus (Tahanea): Enjoy the beauty and serenity of the pristine beaches and shallow waters • Tuamotus (Fakarava): Drift snorkel the Fakarava south pass, swim with sharks and watch an abundance of reef fish • Society Islands (Bora Bora): Watch traditional dancing and singing at the Heiva festival • Society Islands (Maupiti): Climb the peak on the main island and enjoy the gorgeous views.

La Pension Alice & Raphael (Guesthouse) If these names sound familiar to you, it is for a good reason! Alice and Raphael, both very passionate about Polynesia, were in charge of a guesthouse on Bora Bora some years back. Their reputation for hospitality and service-oriented practices is well-deserved. They are now living on the Ome motu, a beautiful and very long motu located just a few minutes away from the airport. Their 1.5 hectare property spans the entire width of the motu, from the lagoon to the ocean, for an experience combining both facets of the islet. On the lagoon side, there is a lovely beach spot with great views of the lagoon and Bora Bora’s mythical Mount Otemanu. The ocean side boasts coral landscapes and a beach that stretches as far as the eyes can see, ideal for long strolls in the fresh ocean air. This small establishment with just 2 units is characterized by its structures made of local wood and built by craftsmen from the island. The guesthouse is the perfect choice for a relaxing vacation in a dream-like setting! Please contact our Marketing department for sales documents, rates and terms.
