Live “la vie en bleu” in FRENCH POLYNESIA AND TAHITI - and engulf yourself with the simple, natural wonders and joys of watersports galore - diving, snorkelling, wildlife-watching, sailing, flora & fauna, marine wildlife, music, architecture, cuisines, etc. Been searching for the world’s most intense shade of aqua? Look no further. What’s below the surface is even more spectacular: sharks, coral gardens, turtles, rays, dolphins, humpback whales, clouds of fish.

Luxury Pampering - Overwater bungalows were created then perfected in French Polynesia. Live la vie en bleu while lounging lagoon-or poolside with exotic cocktails, soaking in tropical flower–filled baths or getting your muscles soothed with hot volcanic stones.

History & Archaeology - Spirituality has always been paramount to Polynesian people and the historical vestiges you’ll find in the islands are testament to this. Stone temples and Europe-worthy churches are highlights.

Hiking & Walking Imagine waterfalls tumbling down fern-carpeted basalt cliffs, wild passionfruit vines draped over beach hibiscus trees, and dark caves each with an ancient legend. Choose from short walks through botanical gardens to multiday treks far from the modern world.

Art, Music & Dance - Hips that move like rippling water, men dancing in palm-leaf loincloths and percussion that stirs the primordial soul are reason enough to visit French Polynesia. Upping the ante are woodcarvings, basketry, local paintings and tattoo ink on bronzed skin.

Beaches French Polynesia is home to svelte strips of white, pink and black sand that act as launching pads into the lagoons. Think intimate, palm-lined and pretty rather than flat or expansive.

Surfing & Kitesurfing The land of monster reef-breaking Tea-hupoo barrels also has softer beach waves, perfect for beginners; kite surfers will find plenty of stretches of windy lagoon. Whatever your level, all you need are the guts to get out there.

Getting Off the Beaten Path With 118 islands and over 68% of the country’s population on Tahiti, it’s not hard to go ‘Crusoe’ in French Polynesia. Or, if you want company, head to small isles where Polynesian culture still reigns and welcomes are warm.

Great Food & Drink The Tahitian hima’a (earthen oven) is the pinnacle of Polynesian cooking, but in between these feasts savour local ingredients (fish, taro, fruits) prepared every which way. Try savoury vanilla sauces, culinary specialities, gratins and some 1001 ways to eat coconut.
