Opening a bottle of monoi oil from Tahiti is like starting a journey of the senses that will take you straight to the fine sandy beaches under the sun of the antipodes. During your stay in French Polynesia, you will not fail to smell these particular and bewitching fragrances.
A trip to French Polynesia would be incomplete without venturing beyond Tahiti and Moorea. Magnificent, secret islands, nestled in the heart of the most beautiful lagoons on the planet, await your visit. You will find incredible wildlife, especially underwater, and come face to face with the soul of Polynesian culture. By plane to save time and fly over the atolls or by boat to discover the water, it’s up to you how you will reach these corners of paradise.
Your trip to French Polynesia will be full of surprises. 50 kilometers from Tahiti, the atoll of Tetiaora will bewitch you. It is here that the royal families came to rest. In 1789, three deserters from the Bounty came here to seek refuge. Marlon Brando discovered the island during a walk with a fisherman during the filming of the movie “Shipwrecked of the Bounty”, in 1969. In front of the beauty of the landscapes and the splendor of the 13 islets, called motus, the actor remains speechless. The atoll fascinated him so much that he decided to buy it.
Traveling in French Polynesia is a dream come true. Breathtaking landscapes and a friendly welcome from the inhabitants will mark out your stay. Each of the islands of the archipelagos conceals unique treasures. There is no lack of activities. Contemplative and sporty people will find something to do on land, underwater or in the air. Diving, hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle are alternatives to discover the landscapes of Polynesia from another angle.
Traveling invites us to open our senses. A destination is to be discovered, felt, smelled, listened to, and savored. In French Polynesia, you’ll be amazed. But not only that. The flavors of traditional Polynesian cuisine will enchant your palate.
Moorea, Papeete, Bora-Bora are all names that evoke an immediate desire to escape to French Polynesia. Vahines, dream beaches, surfers’ and divers’ paradise: the five archipelagos with their 118 islands call the traveler like a siren.
Why not pack your bags and go there? What if you choose Polynesia for your next vacation? Whether you are planning a trip to Tahiti and her islands or you still have doubts, you will need some preparation.
