Island Hopping Deluxe
The Society Islands have something for everyone. Whether you prefer luxury or simplicity, seclusion or a bustling tourist scene — you can find your dream vacation here.
Sign of the Pineapple
The Society Islands are home to an abundance of tropical fruits. However, when it comes to pineapples, Moorea reigns. The tradition of cultivating the ‘Queen of Tahiti’ pineapple dates back many years.
Soft Shell, Hard Chines
In the summer of 2025 we painted F2 ECO for the first time, in Nova Scotia (Uncharted Territory with F2 ECO), and in March 2026 for the second time, in Panama (How Hard Can It Be).
Dance, Quarrels, and Waves in Tahiti
Next up are the Society Islands. Our first stop is the main hub of French Polynesia - Tahiti.
Sharks and Recreation
The tour continues, and the options are endless. The wind and the small flotilla we’re traveling with determine which destinations we head for. We’ll eventually drop anchor at the following places:
Tour d'Atoll
The Tuamotu Atolls are a place of extremes. Everything feels intense and dramatic: the light, the colors of the water, the green of the palm trees, the patterns on the fish, the sunsets, and the starry night sky. Time passes slowly here. Yet, there’s never a dull moment because there are more atolls than you imagine.
Under the Sea
You don’t have to get wet to explore the underwater world of the Tuamotus. To see coral, colorful fish, and sharks, simply look down into the water from above.
The Middle of Nowhere
The Marquesas and the Tuamotus are part of the same country, but they’re worlds apart. Blue dominates instead of green. Beaches replace mountains.
Glimpse into the Inner Island
In Nuku Hiva, we change perspective and rent a car. A tour of the inner parts of the largest of the Marquesas ought to be more than worthwhile.
Marquesian Bobbing and Bouncing
If you’re coming from Hiva Oa, you’ll see them right away: the pointed towers, over a thousand meters high, wrapped in clouds. It’s another scene without equal, the kind that makes the Marquesas the fascinating place they are.
