2021: French Polynesia

Come for the lagoons and passes, stay for the Polynesian good vibes 

Wild Thing will be voyaging from Hawaii to French Polynesia during 2021.  The Tuamotus provide ample opportunity to score solid kiting, and insane spearfishing and diving, plus lots of sailing.  The Tuamotu archipelago is our favorite playground so far. 

Potential ocean-minded projects in French Polynesia include shark research with Ma’oMana Foundation, coral restoration with The Coral Gardeners and Nat Geo Foundation, and working with CRIOBE, a local NGO, to help install and maintain day use moorings in areas frequented by cruising vessels.
