Creator's Key Takeaways

This particular 8-day and 7 cruise which began in Papietti Tahiti was on Windstar's Star Breeze.

We decided to take in the sightes on our own. This not only allowed for more leisurely mornings, but it also gave us the freedom to visit the places that we wanted to see.

It was truly hard to leave this spot, but we also wanted to motor past the same overwater bungalows of the Intercontinental Hotel here in Bora Bora.

We've had a wonderful, wonderful time. But I always say, don't be sad and disappointed it's over. Just be glad and happy that it happened.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give yourself at least an extra day in Papeete before the cruise.
Stay at the Hilton Hotel in Papeete for convenience.
Consider renting a car or boat to explore on your own at ports.
