Itinerary Advice

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia

I need some advice on an itinerary for French Polynesia for a honeymoon. We have approximately 2 weeks. The big choice right now is whether to go with Taha'a or Moorea-- I've read that Moorea is great for more adventuresome things, but since we'll have that in the Marquesas, it seemed like Taha'a might be a better way to round out the trip... Also, if anyone has had good experiences with the pensions in the Marquesas, please advise!

Mon - flight from U.S.
Tues - arrive in Tahiti in a.m., spend night there
Wed - to Nuku Hiva (Marquesas), stay 3 nights
Sat - to Hiva Oa (Marquesas), stay 3 nights
Tues - to Taha'a, stay 3 nights (flight from Marquesas would take up most of Tuesday)
Fri - to Bora Bora, stay 3 nights
Mon - travel back to US via Tahiti
