You’ve got the morning today to explore Tahiti proper. Highlights include the famous black-sand Papara Beach and emerald-green Papenoo Valley, framed by thundering waterfalls, best explored on a coach drive or 4WD adventure. There’s also the chance to explore one of the world's largest underwater caves and snorkel in crystal-clear lagoons – spotting dolphins along the way – whilst the north coast is home to Venus Point, where Captain Cook observed Venus' passage in 1769. This afternoon, swap it all for Moorea’s beautiful bays and volcanic peaks, heading out on expedition cruises with a marine biologist to spot sharks, dolphins, pilot and humpback whales or exploring the island's pineapple fields, ancient stone temples and picturesque villages with an expert photographer to help you capture those all-important shots. At most ports, Regent Seven Seas offer the chance to hire a private van, SUV or boat with your own guide for a more personalised tour. Remember, all shore excursions are included and can be easily organised directly from the ship.

Anchor in to one of the world’s most famous, postcard-perfect islands today – Bora Bora.

The next two days afford you plenty of opportunities to explore, from relaxing on private islets and glass-bottom boat rides – spotting sharks and stingrays along the way – to underwater walks using special diving helmets, off-road 4WD adventures through lush valleys and jet ski rides. Be sure to spend at least one of the evenings on a sunset cruise – and, if you're celebrating a special occasion, we'd highly recommend a scenic helicopter ride for the ultimate in panoramic views.

Auckland, “The City Of Sails”, is spread over a narrow isthmus between the sparkling waters of the Waitemata and Manukau Harbours on New Zealand’s North Island. It earns its sobriquet from having more boats per capita than any other city in the world. The first settlers here were the Maori, and are still a vibrant component of its cosmopolitan population. Auckland offers the visitor all the amenities of a world-class city. Browse the shops of Queen Street or the Parnell area with its galleries and boutiques in quaintly restored Victorian buildings. For a magnificent panorama of the city travel to Mount Eden, the city’s highest point, or visit the Skytower for loftier views.
