Registration will close Aug 1, 2026. This is because I need a few months in advance to pay for the chartered catamaran in FULL, and book domestic flights in French Polynesia to ensure we get on the same flight as a group to our scheduled destinations.

If you are interested in going, I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible versus later. You can always pay a deposit and get a full refund within the first 30 days of registration.

Please note that I only have 5 couple spots available (not including the host couple).

I require an initial deposit of $500 per person to hold your spot and then I offer payment plan options of either 3 payments of $1600/person or 5 payments of $960 (all due before Sept 1, 2026).

If you choose to pay the remaining balance before those deadlines you can contact me at [email protected]

No, you are not staying in overwater bungalows on this trip for two reasons: one, it is very expensive (at least $1K per night/couple) and that doesn't include meals which are also expensive in French Polynesia. *Side note: the average one week trip costs at least $14K per couple.

The beach front villa we have rented in Mo'orea will be more private and spacious, with plenty of room to move around. Plus, the villa is located on its own private beach!

You will get the same (if not better) experience on the catamaran versus staying in overwater bungalows. You will witness amazing sunrises and sunsets on the water each day, explore more remote places in French Polynesia and get more time in the water snorkeling, swimming, paddleboarding, etc.

If you have your heart set on experiencing the overwater bungalows, I recommend staying a few extra days at the end of the trip and going to Bora Bora, where you have a plethora of 5-star hotels right on the lagoon to choose from. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny! ;)

International flights to and from Tahiti are NOT included, along with tips (for catamaran crew, guides, drivers, etc), alcoholic beverages, snacks, incidentals, and travel fees. Also, you will have a FREE day on Mo'orea, so any excursions you choose to do that day, as well as lunch, are not included in your trip fee.

In addition, travel insurance is not included, but highly recommended. To get a free quote to cover your trip, go here.

Your trip fee covers all accommodations in French Polynesia from Nov 5-13th (hotel, villa, catamaran), transportation and transfers within the islands (including 2 domestic flights), meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), guides and excursions, snorkeling gear, catamaran fees, mindfulness practices, and a gallery of professional photos at the end of the trip.

Early November in French Polynesia is a beautiful shoulder-season sweet spot. Days are warm and tropical, with daytime temperatures typically in the low-to-mid 80s°F, and the ocean is calm, clear, and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sailing.

While it marks the beginning of the greener season, any showers tend to be brief and refreshing, often passing quickly and leaving behind vibrant colors and dramatic skies. It’s an ideal time to enjoy the islands with fewer crowds, lush landscapes, and that laid-back, barefoot-luxury feeling that makes French Polynesia so special.

I will be emailing you a full packing list prior to the trip so you don't have to wonder what to pack.

I chose a 4 day sailing trip on a luxury catamaran versus a full week because I knew most people wouldn't want to be on a boat much longer than that. This way, we can experience the BEST of both worlds by spending 3 full days in Mo'orea on the start of our trip, and then 4 days/4 nights on a spacious catamaran.

While on the catamaran, we will have plenty of time to relax and snorkel with the incredible marine life, but we will still get time on different islands too. When we stop at the islands, we you will have opportunities for renting scooters and exploring, hiking to waterfalls and visiting a pearl farm.

This trip will give you a variety of activities and landscapes on both land and sea!

You will need to arrange your international flights to Tahiti (Faa'a International Airport located in Papeete) arriving anytime before 3PM local time on November 5th. For your return flight, please schedule for after 3PM on November 13th.

If you arrive before November 5th or extend your visit after November 13th, you will need to arrange your own hotel, along with transportation to/from the hotel.

All transportation from Nov 5-13th once you arrive to French Polynesia is provided including 2 domestic flights to Raiatea (and back to Tahiti), along with a short ferry transfer to Mo'orea, and all other transfers on the islands.

We will be sailing on a spacious 55 ft brand-new luxury catamaran, complete with 6 private cabins that each sleep 2 adults (accompanied with its own bathroom). Each cabin has air conditioning and a window too, as well as room for your luggage. 

French Polynesia is widely known as one of the most expensive tropical destinations in the world. Part of that is simply geography—it’s remote, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and nearly everything must be imported. It’s also long been positioned as a luxury destination, and the pricing reflects that.

On average, a couple can expect to spend around $14,000 for one week staying in 4-star  hotels, dining out, and enjoying a handful of excursions. Overwater bungalows typically start at $1,000+ per night, even in the low season. Restaurant meals often range from $30–40 per person for breakfast and $60–90 per person for dinner.

Unless you’re camping, staying in very basic accommodations, or cooking most of your meals, it’s extremely difficult to spend less than $10,000 per couple on a French Polynesia trip.

When planning this journey, my goal was to create a truly elevated experience without the luxury price tag. At $5,300 per person, this trip includes nearly everything—beautiful accommodations, private chefs at both our villa and aboard the catamaran, sailing between islands, and curated excursions that are far from basic.

Considering what’s included, this experience is an incredible value—and one that I genuinely believe will be worth every penny. ;)

For the most part, we will be in calm, protected areas on the catamaran and shouldn't experience many rough seas. On our last trip here, NONE of the couples got motion sickness.

If you get motion sickness easily, I would recommend getting a prescription medicine and/or buying patches that you put behind your ear (they work amazing!). When I send a packing list to the group, I will include links to these miracles patches.

Absolutely. While all activities are thoughtfully curated to give you the best experience possible, everything on this trip is optional. If you ever need some downtime or prefer to explore on your own, you’re welcome to do so.

Just keep in mind that the itinerary is designed as a group experience, so transportation and logistics are arranged around scheduled activities. If you choose to skip something, any additional costs for separate transport or meals would be your responsibility.

This is your adventure—you get to make it what you need it to be.

If you choose not to participate in the mindfulness practices exercises such as guided meditations or journaling, that is completely up to you.

I offer "transformational" mindfulness practices on my group trips because they are a powerful way to reconnect more deeply with yourself, especially in the midst of such awe-inspiring places.

If you're seeking to build more confidence, gain clarity, release what’s no longer serving you, or simply feel more grounded and present in your life—these practices will fill your soul in ways you didn't expect.

Many of my past trip guests say these meditations were some of the most unexpected and life-changing parts of their journey. They came for the adventure…but left with something so much deeper.
