Ocean Cruising

« The Marquesas are exquisite»

The richness of their culture, human encounters, nature and landscape make these islands so endearing, that it is hard to leave again.

The "young" Marquesas have no lagoon and the wilderness they contain make them unique with towering mountains disappearing into the sea.

• Discover the fascinating marquesian culture, where the spirits of the ancient Maohi still live. (dances, food, archaeology, handicraft, tattoos)

• Hiking and horse riding

• Fjord-like bays

• Swimming in natural wonders (into the sea and waterfalls)

• Fishing and snorkeling

Nature at its finest!

The Tuamotu are an untouched world offering desert anchorages in strings of coral encircling luminous turquoise and jade-green lagoons.

The main attraction here is a rich life below and above the surface. A rich ecosystem, home to rare birds, plants, and crustaceans while infinite schools of marine life fill the iridescent waters.

• Navigation within the atolls

• Anchorages off the beaten path in front of your “motus” (small desert island)

• Visiting pearl farms

• Kite surf, wind surf

• Scuba diving or simply snorkeling with manta rays, turtles, sharks, dolphins ... Rangiroa and Fakarava are among the world's greatest dive destinations.
