French Polynesia is made of 13 volcanic islands, which were divided into the windward and leeward island. The island of Tahiti is the largest and most well known of all the islands of French Polynesia. The island Moorea is clearly visible from Tahiti, which is only 17 km away across the Sea of the Moon. A coral reef surrounds the island, as is the case with most of the Society Islands.
Huahine the Sauvage (wild) as it is called now, became the most mystical destination of
French Polynesia, located at 175 kilometres of Tahiti.
Raiatea and Tahaa are two of French Polynesia's favourite
undiscovered treasures...
Raiatea itself is recognized
throughout Tahiti as it's "Sacred Island"- the cultural heart of all
Tahiti Polynesia. Tahaa, slightly smaller
and less populated than Raiatea, shares a
wonderful lagoon rich in sealife and watersports activities such as
scubadiving, windsurfing, and outrigger canoeing.
Bora Bora island is possibly the single most famous island in all the world. The legends, mysteries, and romance associated with the words "Bora Bora" bring an almost mystical presence to the island.
Last but not least: Maupiti, anciently called Maurua in Polynesian, is the westernmost high island of the Society archipelago and also the smallest, but is often considered as one of the most beautiful islands of the South Seas. Located at 315km away from Tahiti (only 40 km away from Bora Bora), it is composed of a little green hill.
