Exploring Polynesia

March 29, 2024

Once again Paul Gauguin Cruises will be offering their “Moana Explorers” program for children ages six to 15 on 11 different summer and holiday sailings in 2025! The unique and complimentary program is offered in collaboration with Te mana o te moana, a South Pacific marine education and conservation foundation and is designed to engage your children with hands-on, interactive activities both onboard and ashore. From learning about the care and protection of sea turtles, to playing beach ‘Survivor’ games to hiking volcanic mountains and snorkeling in pristine lagoons, the program goes far beyond the formulaic structure of traditional children’s programs. Depending on the itinerary, your children might explore underwater life, conduct water experiments, create natural jewelry, go on a treasure hunt, learn about Tahitian culture, discover island legends and geology, design a Polynesian tattoo and more. Choose from cruises in June, July, August and December from seven to 14 nights sailing through Tahiti, the Cook Islands, Marquesas and other special Polynesian destinations.  A watersports marina off the back of the boat, pool, spa, gym, destination presentations and evening cultural programs round out the wide variety of activities on board for the entire family.
