Imagine cycling through lush tropical jungles, past vibrant hibiscus blooms, and alongside turquoise lagoons so clear you can see every ripple.

French Polynesia by bike offers the perfect balance of adventure and luxury—a unique way to experience paradise up close.

Each morning, you'll pedal along peaceful coastal paths and into charming villages, immersing yourself in Polynesian culture, fresh island air, and stunning landscapes.

Afterward, your floating resort awaits—a boutique ship that whisks you away to the next island. Picture yourself sipping a tropical drink on deck as the sun sets over this South Pacific paradise.

When you're not cycling, there's snorkeling in coral reefs, relaxing on white-sand beaches, adventuring through a tropical rainforest, or indulging in world-class cuisine crafted with local flavors. It's a dream getaway for adventurers who love combining active exploration with ultimate relaxation.

Whether you're seeking jaw-dropping views, cultural connections, or just the thrill of cycling through paradise, a cycling cruise of French Polynesia has it all. Don't just visit paradise—experience it the way it was meant to be explored.

Day 2 – Mooring in Taha’a
Wake on the idyllic island of Taha'a, a lush, less developed paradise. Step ashore and be greeted with traditional dance and music.

Day 4 – Motu Beach Celebration

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon of swimming, volleyball, sunbathing, or snorkeling before a classic Tahitian barbecue and cultural evening with traditional dancing under the stars.

Day 5 – Huahine Iti & Huahine Nui
Cycling spans two rainforest islands connected by a bridge. Ride through dense jungle canopy, then out toward coastlines jewel-like with blue waters. Choose routes from gentle coastal loops to more lively climbs — every pedal stroke reveals another postcard-worthy view.

Day 6 – Island of Moorea
Moorea’s abundance of beaches, botanical gardens, waterfalls, and over-water bungalows makes today unforgettable.
