(cont'd):

In the early evening, the R3 departed from Raiatea ...

... and leisurely sailed along the beautiful
coastline of Taha'a'...

... Raiatea's unspoiled, sparsely populated neighbor island.

The evening sun cast warm golden lights on the
island's lush rainforests...

... as we neared another high point of our journey:
Sailing into Bora Bora.

Bora Bora's famous outline in the sunset is stunning,
and one of the world's most beautiful views...

... and we couldn't wait to wake up in a place dubbed
"the most beautiful island in the world".
