    Costa Rica

    

    Puntarenas is Costa Rica's historic Pacific port, a narrow peninsula reaching into the Gulf of Nicoya where nineteenth-century maritime heritage meets vibrant marine life, signature street food like the iconic *churchill* shaved ice, and easy access to Tortuga Island, cloud forests, and world-class whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River.

The historic Las Peñas neighbourhood, its painted wooden houses climbing a hillside crowned by the Cerro Santa Ana lighthouse, offers the most atmospheric corner of the old city. As the embarkation point for most Galápagos expeditions, Guayaquil rewards a day or two of exploration before the archipelago's more famous wonders.

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    French Polynesia

    

    Rangiroa is the world's second-largest coral atoll, a ring of palm-fringed islets in French Polynesia's Tuamotus encircling a lagoon vast enough to contain Tahiti.

    Huahine

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    French Polynesia

    

    Huahine, often called the "Garden of Eden" of French Polynesia, is a lush twin-island paradise between Moorea and Bora Bora where ancient Polynesian marae temples stand among jungle-covered hills and turquoise lagoons remain blissfully uncrowded. Visitors should not miss the thousand-year-old archaeological complex at Maeva and a lagoon snorkeling excursion through pristine coral gardens. The ideal season spans May through October — the austral dry season — when skies are clear, humidity is gentle, and the southeast trade winds carry the scent of vanilla and tiare flowers across the water.

31. Day 31

    Papeete

    Arrive 08:00

    French Polynesia

    

    Papeete is the spirited, slightly ragged capital of French Polynesia — not the languorous paradise of travel-poster imagination, but a working harbour city of fresh produce markets, baguette bakeries, and Tahitian outrigger canoe clubs that provides an authentic counterpoint to the pearl-still lagoons of Bora Bora and Moorea nearby. The daily Marché de Papeete is the city's essential experience, its stalls piling high with vanilla pods, monoi-scented oils, black pearls, and the most exuberant floral arrangements in the Pacific. Moorea, visible across the Sea of the Moon and just 30 minutes by fast ferry, offers a dramatically quieter alternative. The dry season, May through October, brings the finest weather.
