The excitement, the anticipation, the slight anxiety
over the trip can finally end. Today your tour to one
of the most exclusive, most remote and most
beautiful places in the world, Tahiti, begins.
When you arrive in Papeete, one of our maverick
tour guides will collect you from the airport and
escort you to the hotel where you can shower, put
the jet-lag to bed, and ready yourself for the
adventure (please note, check-in is from 2pm and
today is a free day)
DAY 1 (FRI) ARRIVAL IN PAPEETE
Our day begins with a bit of formality. We'll sit you
down and explain the entire tour - what we do,
what we expect, how you can have a kick-ass time
with Bamboo. We'll also ease any anxieties you may
have about being here - we get it, it's an isolated
island.
Once through the orientation, we'll head into the
city to the "Cultural Centre" in Papara. There, we'll
spend time learning about Polynesian life, from the
local cooking and crafts to the dances and tattoos.
It's basically your insightful introduction to the
country and, better yet, the organization directly
supports educational opportunities for young
Polynesians - you're giving back already.
Once through and fully "cultured", we'll make a pit-
stop at the Cave of Maraa; so spectacular we've
even lost a breath or two.
From there, we'll head back to the hotel and get
ready for the night's meet-and-greet dinner at the
famous Royal Tahitian - flower crowns aren't
required but definitely encouraged. There, you can
get to know the other travellers better, dine on
Tahitian favourites and, if the cards are right,
maybe take a late-night dip in the sea.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
DAY 2 (SAT) PAPEETE
How bad can a morning be if it begins with riding
the waves to your second paradise in two days?
After a much-needed breakfast (coffee cures all,
right?), we'll pack our bags and board the boat to
the island of Moorea. For those who don't know,
"Moorea" is the only correct answer to the question,
"Where is paradise?", as you'll soon find out.
Upon arrival, we'll amble to our beach bungalows in
Haapiti and briefly entertain the idea of ditching
the tour altogether and instead opt for a life on the
island forever. Once realizing that idea's flawed (it
may take a few hours...or days), the adventure
continues.
Largely known as surf capital, Haapiti's lagoons also
cater to some of the most wild and exotic lives in
French Polynesia. It's a place where, if you're brave
enough, you can swim with sharks and stingrays.
Those looking for lighter, less-adrenaline-inducing
entertainment can instead watch for dolphins and
whales (peak season is August - October).
Just another casual day in Moorea.
Meals included: Breakfast & Lunch.
DAY 3 (SUN) PAPEETE - HAAPITI
Still enchanted with Haapiti's charm, today will
involve a bit more work and less play. We've
carefully selected a local NGO responsible for
maintaining the conservation, education and
research of the region's infamous lagoon. The
organization will introduce you to reef and pollution
issues in addition to the problems currently facing
the region's sea turtle population. It'll be the basis
for our volunteering excursion in Haapiti, so listen
up. Depending on the needs of the NGO at the
time, we may be invited to join on a beach cleaning
initiative or coral cutting for the construction of
their underwater structures.
Following the interactive introduction, you'll have
the afternoon and evening to yourself, which can
easily be filled with swimming, exploring, endlessly
reapplying sunscreen, getting mesmerized by the
sparkling seas or, like any member of the BamFam,
psyching yourself up for tomorrow's work.
Meals included: Breakfast
DAY 4 (MONDAY) HAAPITI
This morning, the difference-making begins.
The NGO will have us cutting and preserving coral
reefs, cleaning the island's beach fronts and
teaching local people the importance of
sustainability and environmentalism.
After some chill out time in the afternoon, at
sundown, we've arranged for a proper 'Happy Hour'
and barbecue to satiate the appetites worked up
throughout the day. Be prepared for a sunset that
we can only describe using cheesy cliches, so we'll
just say "it's darn beautiful".
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
DAY 5 (TUE) HAAPITI
Today we are all heading back to the island of Tahiti
and taking a trip to one of French Polynesia's most
sacred destinations: Fare Hape.
Crossing from Moorea to Tahiti by boat, we'll then
hop on an epic 4x4 jeep journey into the center of
the island to spend the next two days at a secluded,
ancient village hidden in the mountains and jungle.
For thousands of years, Fare Hape was virtually
untouched by the western world, and the sacred
Polynesian rituals and beliefs lie at the heart of
Tahitian values. The day's highlights center around
understanding this 1,000s-year-old culture,
including astronavigation, and simply building old-
world houses from natural materials.
We'll also introduce you to the local Haruru
organization who invests and protects the island's
sacred grounds. While here, they'll have you
constructing Polynesian homes, planting medicinal
herbs, clearing the jungle, river damming, and
essentially helping to build the infrastructure for an
entire irrigation system - high-level tasks for a
volunteer...but you're BamFam so this shouldn't be
daunting, just bare in mind it can vary. It really
depends on what the association needs to be done
for the preservation of the place and culture. Every
time is different but we will have the biggest impact
possible.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
DAY 6 (WED) HAAPITI - FARE HAPE
Yesterday we learned about the jungle and today
we'll explore it. Wandering through like Tarzan and
Jane, we'll follow the sounds of the jungle, tracing
animals and veering towards the faint crashes in
the distance. The crashes, of course, can only mean
one thing: Waterfalls. Who's up for a swim?
After a dip (and lunch), it's back to Fare Hape to
continue our projects.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
DAY 7 (THU) FARE HAPE
Bidding farewell to the local people of Fare Hape we
head off to the remote area of Teahupoo on the
south-east coast of the island.
On an island already coated in stunning coastlines,
Teahupoo's serenity and peacefulness is the only
way to wrap-up an otherwise adventurous tour.
Upon arrival, we'll take you on another special boat
tour. The gorgeous caves of Vaipori await, as well as
island enclaves so remote they rarely see any
human exploration, making you, effectively, a
modern day Magellan.
Lunch will be cooked fresh from the boat deck,
which features a view of epic proportions.
The day concludes with even more lounging and
even more stunning sunsets and even more
delicious meals and even more drinks...because
that's just life in this paradise.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
DAY 8 (FRI) FARE HAPE - TEAHUPOO
We're taking off the Bamboo ball-and-chain and
letting you into the wild world of Teahupoo this
morning. Packed with one-of-a-kind nature, feel
free to explore the surrounding waterfalls, go
hiking, kayaking, or even just spend the morning
sun-tanning along the waterfront. Just get back by
early afternoon so we can shuttle you to Papeete,
where we'll gather for our final group meal and
toast to Tahiti...on our private boat of course!
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
DAY 9 (SAT) TEAHUPOO - PAPEETE
Do...do we even want to address the
goodbye? We've reached the end of the tour
but only the beginning of our friendships.
Don't be sad it's over because the Tahiti
adventure will forever live inside each of us.
We'll snap a final group photo, which we'll
then keep under our pillow case, only to look
at late at night and remember the fun we
had.
Beyond that, we'll help you arrange any
transport you may need to the airport and
see you off to your next destination, be it
home, another leg of your vacation, or back
to the bungalow where you contemplated
moving just days ago!
Just remember that, with Bamboo and
Discover Tahiti, you're leaving a legacy for
the causes we've supported, and we hope
Polynesian culture will hold an extraordinary
place in each of your hearts and souls
forever.
