Waiter – there’s a fish nibbling my toes!
A French-inspired gourmet picnic at which dining is barefoot at tables set in cool waters off a beach in a lagoon in the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, is a unique feature of an unusual 5-night holiday to Tahiti with Coral Seas Travel.
Three nights of the package are aboard the 14-cabin luxury motor catamaran, Haumana that cruises from Rangiroa to unspoiled islands and atolls for diving, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, water-skiing, or beach, line or game fishing.
There are also organised excursions to isolated schools and villages, and the opportunity to beach- and bush-walk in this remote archipelago of French Polynesia; back on board Haumana casual-ambience dining is a mix of French and Polynesian with plenty of local seafoods and tropical produce – and includes wine with lunch and dinner.
Coral Seas’ package also includes a night pre- and post-cruise in Papeete, transfers, all meals and meal-time wines on Haumana, island entertainment, and return air and taxes from Sydney to Papeete and Rangiroa.
Prices start from $4199pp twin-share between November 17 and December 21 this year, with optional 4- and 7-night Haumana inclusions also available.
