Fiji — Tonga — French Polynesia
A two-week expedition across three Pacific archipelagos: from Fiji through Tonga to the islands of French Polynesia. The route starts from Lautoka on Viti Levu and ends in Papeete on Tahiti — one of the most ambitious programs in the South Pacific.
The expedition crosses the waters of three nations, each offering unique underwater experiences. Fiji — soft corals and manta stations, Tonga — humpback whales in season (July–October), French Polynesia — sharks, dolphins, and rays in crystal-clear atoll lagoons. The route’s length makes every crossing part of the adventure.
