Breakfast at Faroe River Inlet We motored and anchored in the bay to the outlet of Faroe river, in Raiatea for breakfast. A kayak tour was offered, but since I had been there before on a tour with the Radisson Paul Gauguin, I opted for a spa massage and relaxing morning aboard ship.

Short Cruise to Motu During lunch, we picked up anchor and motored a few miles out to another motu, where we dropped anchor. The remnants of a catamaran could be seen on the coral heads warning all that caution needs to be exercised when navigating these waters.

Afternoon at Motu The crew set up a bar and water activities at the motu for the afternoon. We did some kayaking, and then walked far out onto the reef, trying to dodge coral heads in the 3-6 feet deep water.

Evening At Motu During the afternoon activities, and while we stopped back at the ship in late afternoon, the crew set up the motu into a luxurious out island dining experience. Tiki torches and coconut fires were lit to give the motu an incredible ambiance. A full bar with champagne was set up along with two dining tables. Polynesian music played in the background.

Dinner Dinner at our private motu consisted of fresh grilled lobster and steak. It's incredible to have a tiki-torch lit dinner, with the Moon above, a gentle tropical breeze swaying the palm trees, and the ship lit up in the distance.

Cinema Under the Stars A screen was set up between two palm trees and the silent black-and-white movie, "Tabu" was shown under the starts, complete with popcorn and drinks. By this time of the evening there were only two passengers watching the movie. The level of service and attention to details really made this cruise, and this evening a night to remember.
