Please note: your personal itinerary can vary slightly from the example below as airlines tend to change their schedule frequently. The contents will remain the same.
Day 1 AMSTERDAM - TAHITI. Flight from Amsterdam to Tahiti. Our agent will greet you on the airport early the following day.
Day 2-3 TAHITI. Transfer to your hotel is arranged. You stay 2 nights on the perhaps most famous island of the Pacific.
Day 4 TAHITI - RAIATEA. You'll be transferred to the airport and off you are to the remote island of Raiatea. All the hectic that you've ever known will disappear when stepping out of the plane on Raiatea Island. Transfer to your hotel.
Day 5&6 RAIATEA. This island has the most unbelievable colors! The blue of the Pacific, the green of the lush rainforest and the white of the sand contrast with the red of the soil. We suggest that you take an island excursion (not included) to experience all this. 
Day 7 RAIATEA - BORA BORA. A short flight will bring you to the most famous of all the the islands of French Polynesia: Bora Bora. The dramatic landscape, that has inspired so many movie-makers can already be seen when landing on the little island which hosts the airport. A boat transfers the passengers right after baggage claim to the village of Vaitape. A few hotels also offer their private boat transfer. 
Day 8-10 BORA BORA. There is always something to do on Bora Bora and it's surrounding motus. Visit the village of Vaitape, take a boat trip to a remote motu (paradise islands on the edge of the lagune), rent a bike, go snorkeling, swimming, diving, slurp a cocktail in a hammock, enjoy a gourmet meal under the stars...
Day 11 BORA BORA - MOOREA. The boat takes you back to the airport and with Air Tahiti you fly back to Moorea (on some days via the main island Tahiti).
Day 12-14 MOOREA. Explore beautiful Moorea at your own speed. This island with its prominent peaks has so much to offer. Several excursions (not included) can be booked at your hotel. There is excellent snorkeling, the interesting Tiki Village - and of course a sandy beach to watch the sunsets. The island can also easily be discovered by mountain bike or by public bus ("le truck").
Day 15&16 MOOREA - TAHITI - AMSTERDAM. It is time to say good bye. There are two ways of getting back to the main island Tahiti. You can take the ferry back during the day, leaving you luggage at a hotel (to be arranged at your 2nd day when you stay on Tahiti) or at the Ferry terminal, located central in Papeete Town. It leaves some time to go shopping and have a nice last diner under the stars in Papeete. Transfers on Moorea to the ferry are arranged, but you have to take a taxi in the evening on your own expense to get back from Papeete Town to the airport. 

Alternatively you may take the last interisland flight back to Tahiti (around 6PM) and wait till midnight at the airport for your connecting flight with Air New Zealand to fly back to Amsterdam via the States (Los Angeles). Transfers on Moorea to the airport are arranged.

   
(Day 16-20) EASTER ISLAND (EXTENSION). You may extend the Kontiki Voyage with another 4 days to the legendary Easter Island. Included in this package is the roundtrip flight from Papeete to Easter Island (IPC), 3 hotelnights and 3 excursions covering all major highlights of this fascinating destination.
