Fun in the Sun

Offered in partnership with Te mana o te moana, a South Pacific marine education and conservation foundation, this one-of-a-kind program invites children and teens, ages 6-15, to discover and value the natural wonders of this breathtaking part of the world through hands-on, interactive learning. Every day of the voyage, there is a combination of naturalist-led island and/or beach excursions, science activities, crafts, games, and other adventures.

Depending on their itinerary, your children might learn about underwater life through board games, conduct water experiments, go on a treasure hunt, enjoy water games in the onboard pool, go stargazing, and more. And, there is no fee* for this special family program! It’s all part of our extraordinary all-inclusive value. Best of all, kids sail free** with Paul Gauguin Cruises!
