Karlou Posted June 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We are thinking of a Paul Gauguin cruise next year and are wondering if there are beaches near the ports. I’m not sure we would want to take a tour every day. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted June 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We are thinking of the 11 night Society Islands and Tuamotus Sent from my iPad using Forums On Bora Bora and Motu Mahana of course you have easy access to beaches. On the other islands there are beaches accessible by excursion or with a bit of effort on your part. Not really good beaches right next to where the tender drops you off other than Bora Bora and Motu Mahana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Cruisers Posted June 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was able to snorkel in the tuamotus from beaches within walking distance in 2011 while DH was diving. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Cruisers Posted June 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just reviewed my photos and I’m pretty sure you can do both. You are never far from the water. I didn’t want to sign up for an excursion that would take hours by boat. I was happy staying close to the tender ports. On rangiroa I think I was on the same beach that the crew uses. Just to the left from the tender. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted June 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2018 In Fakarava if you walk along the only road there are many places to get in the water but most that we saw would require water shoes due to broken coral on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted June 27, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Keep in mind what one person says is a good beach may not measure up for others .... Here is a 'GOOD' beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlou Posted June 28, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Keep in mind what one person says is a good beach may not measure up for others .... Here is a 'GOOD' beach That does look like a great beach. Would you mind saying where it is and can one get there without taking an excursion Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted June 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This is the Bora Bora private motu for the Paul Gauguin. Free .... and the tender is of course free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
