Day 15

Raiatea

French Polynesia

Raiatea is traditionally known as ancient Havai'i, the sacred island at the center of the Polynesian Triangle from which the islands of Hawaii and New Zealand were reached. Along its eastern coastline is the ceremonial site of Marae Taputapuatea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ancient Polynesians held rituals for their gods and sought safety for their seafarers. Today, Marae Taputapuatea is still used as a sacred departure point for voyagers crossing to other Pacific Islands in outrigger canoes. Emerald peaks rise in Raiatea's interior, cloaked in tropical flowers, fruit trees, taro plantations and wild foliage. It's where streams trickle and waterfalls roar. With few beaches on the main island, the lush shoreline of Raiatea cedes to a vibrant lagoon hosting every shade of blue and coral reefs rife with marine life. Reef sharks, rays and sea turtles cruise through its waters. Surrounding the main island are motu, tiny islets of palm trees ringed by white sand beaches, easily reached on a lagoon tour. Cruises to Raiatea, French Polynesia set you up for an incredible day trip to the sister island of Taha'a, where life moves slow amidst the vanilla farms tucked in the foothills of the island's rolling hills.

If time allows during your Honolulu cruise, head to nearby Waikiki for a surf; the calm waters are perfect for any experience level.
