Art in Voyage knocks it out of the park! What an incredible trip to the French Polynesia. We did 6 nights on a catamaran between islands and lagoons then 2 nights in an Over-water Bungalow in Bora Bora. They planned everything perfectly. We got to experience things that we wouldn’t if we had planned on our own. This is our third trip with them and definitely not our last!
