Moorea is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, a playground of jagged volcanic peaks and turquoise lagoons. The best way to explore it is in the unofficial local vehicle, an outrigger canoe. Tahiti Expeditions' Moorea Outrigger Expedition offers a nine-day circumnavigation, during which guests paddle 37 miles of bays and reefs in a six-person outrigger and can opt to dive and snorkel with dolphins, surf, or hike tropical valleys on the side. Nights are spent camping on white-sand beaches or lounging in five-star hotels (guests choose). On day seven, indulge in a traditional feast of fish, taro leaves, plantains, and fruit pudding, all steamed in a pit oven between hot rocks and woven mats. From $2,850; tahitiexpeditions.com.

I can vouch for Tahiti Expeditions from personal experience. They add a whole new level of experience to Tahiti that most people never get, on both land and sea. They are so well connected they excel at everything from an eclipse-viewing expedition for The Planetary Society to art and ecology workshops for painters who want to channel Gauguin.
