SOUTH SEAS OCEAN ADVENTURE 2025 & Beyond!

Marquesas islands

April 15th, 2025 The first landfall of Taioha’e Bay Nuku Hiva Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia is stunning.

There is a small airport on the island with several departures to Tahiti (PPT) per week.

There are several nice accommodations on the island and you may want to spend more time hiking, diving, and immersing yourself in the culture before flying to Tahiti and outbound. Our boat and crew will spend no more than one week in Taioha’e Bay Nuku Hiva.

RANGIROA ATOLL TUAMOTUS

April 2025 The other option is to continue sailing another 350 N.M. to Rangiroa, the largest atoll in the Tuamotus Atolls French Polynesia. Here too is a small, well-run airport (RGI), for those who wish to disembark and fly outbound to Tahiti. After diving the famous southern pass with the professional Dive Team at TOPDIVE RANGIROA of course! (Link)
