2 Week Sailing Trip in French Polynesia
Mahalo Sailing offers a number of sailing trips, generally for women only. I went on the two-week sailing tour of French Polynesia in December 2022. Overall it was an unforgettable trip. French Polynesia is stunningly beautiful, and it was great to see it both from land and by sea. We toured a few islands by car and bicycle, and had one great guided tour with a local who drove us all around Taha’a, showed us a vanilla farm, and answered many questions about the island, the locals, the culture, etc. I loved being able to swim and snorkel right off the boat. Note if you want to scuba dive, you will have to do that before or after the organized trip. That said, I saw a riot of coral, a multitude of fish of all sizes and hues, sharks, an octopus, a gigantic ray, all w/o having to dive. I was hoping for some more hands-on sailing, but due to the need to get from one place to another within a certain timeframe, we mostly motored. We were the 2nd of two boats and due to last minute problems, the boat on our crew was rather inexperienced and had trouble coping with the many technical issues that popped up on the boat (that were the fault of the charter company, a separate company). Note that 14 women on a 52 foot Lagoon catamaran is squeezy – something to consider if you don’t like sharing confined spaces. The food on this particular trip varied alot, from very good to meh. We all pitched in for cleanup. That said, I went not knowing anyone else on board, and had no trouble making friends. There was great camaraderie and lots of laughter.
