🌺 9-Day Mo’orea Ocean & Island Retreat

1–9 September 2026

Adventure, culture, connection, and surpassing your limits in French Polynesia.

Imagine waking up each morning between emerald mountains and a turquoise lagoon, surrounded by people who arrive as strangers but quickly feel like family. For nine days, you’ll explore the ocean, surpass your limits, swim with sharks, rays, turtles, and sometimes whales; wander through waterfalls and pineapple fields; dance under island skies; sail between motus; share laughter, rituals, and sunsets; and discover a deeper connection to nature, yourself, and others. This is Mo’orea — where magic feels natural, and memories feel eternal.
