French Polynesia- Society Islands

The Society Islands are world famous. They include Tahiti and Bora Bora.
Everywhere you travel in these islands there are smiles, dancing and breath taking views. And do not forget to shop here for the best prices on pearls anywhere. The pictures speak for themselves.























French Polynesia - Tuamotu Atolls

For scuba divers the Tuamotu region of French Polynesia is a must. There is a lot of under water color and life. Many sharks, mostly nurse, black tip, white tip and greys. The small and infrequent villages are full of the sweetest people.  As you can imagine with their only real visitors coming by private yachts they welcome you warmly. Throughout the region there are many pearl farms. Most allow you to visit and see what they do.

French Polynesia - Fatu Hiva & Hiva Oa

Sailing across the Pacific Ocean took us 32 days. Seeing land was great. Seeing Fatu Hiva was awesome. This small piece of land in the middle of the ocean is the stuff dreams are made of. It is steep beautiful mountainous terrain and wonderful waterfalls.









Panama City and Las Perlas Islands

Panama City is both old and new, literally. There are two cities beside each other. The old "Viejo" section of town has stunningly timeless beautiful made of masonry and wrought iron. The new city has the best of the modern skyscrapers and everything that goes with it. Whether you want to dance all night in some of the worlds best clubs or lounge seaside, Panama city has it all.
If you want white sandy beaches and clear blue water you can fly or ferry out to the nearby Las Perlas Islands.
