Day 3 Port of Call Robinson Crusoe Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

This Island belongs to Juan Fernandez Archipelago, which has been a passing place for explorers and sailors, hiding place for pirates and their treasures, shelter for Alexander Selkirk, the sailor who inspired Robinson Crusoe novel, and prison during the Chilean Independence War. It is actually a National Park and Unesco World Biosphere Reserve. Robinson Crusoe Island, separated from Valparaiso by 670 km of the open Pacific ocean, is not a major holiday destination. The archipelago consists of three islands with extraordinary rugged and mountainous topography, and distinctly Mediterranean climate. Rainfall varies greatly over very short distances, allowing dense rainforest with many endemic species, in contrast with other Atacama-like areas. The island has actually a population of 500 inhabitants, for whom fishing is the main activity. Transportation to the island consist of two and a half hours flight from Santiago by private charter flight (two engine aircraft). The accommodations are not luxurious, but in beautiful locations, mainly consisting in small hostels and cabins

Day 8 Port of Call Easter Island/Hanga Roa Arrival 8:00am

Overview

This town, the island's capital, is a small town with a host of restaurants and shops. Hanga Roa is very small with the majority of the shops on the long road from just below the church in the west to the airport road in the east. There are a number of small supermarkets along the central part of this road which stock a surprising variety of foods including, for example, tinned Camembert cheese. The town's market is towards the centre of this road and here you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, and fresh fish caught that morning. At least one of these supermarkets will accept Visa for payment provided a reasonable amount is purchased but you may have to be very pushy. A number of Moais, shown above, are grouped just north of the town on the coast near the museum. This is an ideal site for sunset photography as the sun sets behind the Moais. Don't forget a torch for the return walk as there are no street lights this far out! There are many artesans here, selling their wares from cloths laid out on the ground and it is easy to barter other commodities. For example, Scotch whisky is almost like hard currency and a good pair of shoes or a rucksack are in high demand. Be warned that the wives of the men trading Moais for Scotch can get very upset about the deal but they are quite happy to acquire shoes!

Day 15 Port of Call Fakarava Arrival 7:00am Departure 3:00pm

Overview

The second biggest atoll in Polynesia, a 60 km by 25 km rectangle has two main villages: Rotoava in the northeast near the Ngarue pass, one kilometer wide and its airdrome; and then there is Tetamanu, formerly the main village of the island located near the southern Tumakohua pass. This protected atoll together with its six neighboring islands, originally including Taiaro, makes up a Unesco classified nature reserve, which is the proof of the richness of the ecosystem of these atolls: the especially rare flora and fauna, including the hunting king-fisher, the Tuamotu palm, and in the lagoons, crustaceans such as squills or sea cicadas. Among the things to be explored here are: a pearl farm visit and the fairly colorful visit to the sea slug smoke house, the "rori" highly prized by Asian gourmets, and the ancient village of Tetamanu with one of the first Catholic churches built in coral and dating from 1874. The real drawcard to the island is its scuba diving which still holds its share of excitement in the virtually untouched spots where there is to be found a concentration of lagoon and ocean fish such as loach, meru, barracuda, rays and the highly memorable hammerhead and tiger sharks.

Day 16 Port of Call Huahine Arrival 10:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Huahine lies 175 km (110 miles) northwest of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands, visible from Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora. Comprised of Huahine Nui (big Huahine) and Huahine-Iti (little Huahine), the two islands are joined by a narrow isthmus and are enclosed within a protective coral necklace. Off-shore "motu" islets lie inside the barrier reef, providing luscious gardens for Huahine's watermelon and cantaloupe industry. A road, mostly un-paved, winds 32 km (20 miles) around the two islands, passing through small villages where the 4,480 inhabitants live in colourful , modest homes. The lagoon, bordered by white sand beaches, is rich with sea life, and the Village of Maeva is a wealth of archaeological sites. The principal village of Fare slumbers under the shade of almond and acacia trees, and awakens with delight for the frequent arrivals of the inter-island ferries from Papeete. Then truckloads of copra, pigs, taro, bananas,and melons are brought to the quay for market days. People from all over the island mingle with arriving passengers and curious tourists, all enjoying the bustling activity and wandering in and out of the various Chineese shops along Fare's waterfront. Then the ships blast their farewell and head out the pass, the last Le Truck leaves town, headed for the villages once again. And life on this peaceful island resumes its normal pace.

Day 17 Port of Call Raiatea Arrival 7:00am Departure 10:00pm

Overview

Raiatea is located in the southern part of the Leeward Islands. Its huge lagoon also incorporates the island of Tahaa. Raiatea has an area of 238 square kilometers (92 sq. miles). That makes it the fourth largest island in French Polynesia in terms of area. The biggest island is Tahiti (1,042 sq. kilometers, or 402 sq. miles), followed by Nuku Hiva in the northern Marquesas Islands (330 sq. kilometers, or 127 sq. miles) and Hiva Oa in the southern Marquesas Islands (320 sq. kilometers, or 124 sq. miles). Raiatea is shaped like an isosceles triangle with a base of 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) and a height of 20 kilometers (12.4 miles). The island is an old former volcanic mass, the last lava having flowed some 2.5 million years ago. Raiatea’s tallest point is in the south, where Mt. Tefatoaiti reaches an altitude of 1,017 meters (3,337 ft.). In the north there is the Temehani volcanic rock plateau, which rises to 792 meters (2,598 ft.) and is decorated by historic peaks. Several big valleys cut deeply into the edges of this high island, creating some of the most favorable places for populations to settle. They include six bays—Vairahi, Faaroa and Opoa along the east coast; Faatemu at the southern tip; and Vaihuti and Vaiaau along the west coast. Alluvial fans--deposits of streams coming from a gorge upon a plain—have partially filled in the bays, offering flat land that helps compensate for the narrowness of the coastal plains. Raiatea has the reputation of being the cradle of Polynesian civilizations. In ancient times, the island was known as “Havai’i fanau’ra fenua”, which means “Havai’i, the cradle”. Furthermore, famous ethnologist Pearl Buck wrote that according to Polynesian mythology fragments of Havai’i broke off to create other islands, swimming like a fish to become the Windward Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Maiao, Mehetia and Tetiaroa.

Day 18 Port of Call Moorea Arrival 7:00am Departure 4:00pm

Overview

Some 17km (11 miles) from Tahiti, and connected to it by a 45-minute ferry service or seven-minute flight, is an island with a simpler and more rustic lifestyle and yet offering plenty of entertainment for the tourist, including traditional-style nightlife. Dominated by volcanic peaks, it also has dazzling white sand beaches and clear lagoons ideal for swimming, diving and snorkelling. Excursions include a visit to the beautiful Opunohu Valley, an ancient dwelling place, uninhabited for 150 years, with 500 ancient structures including temples or marae, some of which have been restored. Le Belvédère is a lookout spot from where the best view of the island may be had. The nearby island of Tetiaroa, recently opened to the public and accessible only by air, is an important seabird sanctuary.

Day 18 Port of Call Papeete/Polynesia Arrival 7:00pm

Overview

Papeete is the major city of Tahiti and the capital of French Polynesia. This little city of 80,000 people is pretty recent as there was no buildings on its site when in 1769, Captain Cook first reached the Matavai Bay located 10 km away on the East Coast. Since the 18th century, sailors realized how safe was its bay for their ships. In 1797, the London Missionary Society (LMS) tried to send some missionaries to settle down in Papeete but they did not succeed until 1824 with the help of Queen Pomare IV. It is Governor Bruat who decided in 1843 that Papeete would become the administrative center of the newly born French Protectorate. At that time, the expansion of the city was going fast and the bay of Papeete had become a large harbour.In the 19th century, some Chinese started to settle down in Papeete that counted only 5,000 persons. During World War I, Papeete was bombed by the Germans and the Municipal Market was destroyed.
