Reasons To
Visit French Polynesia

  • Art & Crafts

    Tahitian culture is more in evidence now that ever before and not just in the sophisticated dances and performance art but in the revival of symbolic tattoo art through which Polynesians use the dark strong colours to assert their ma'ohi identity.

    Rangiroa was described by Jacques Cousteau as the richest aquarium on the planet matched only by the other great Tuamotu lagoons on Tikehau, Manihi and Fakarava; now one of UNESCO's most valued biospheres.

  • Multi culture

    The islands of French Polynesia have long been a melting pot of migrant peoples who have made the most of the ecology and geology of this region of the South Pacific to create sophisticated cultures.

  • Pearls

    One of the most successful uses of light is visible in the pearl industry in which French Polynesia has become a world leader. The most sought after pearls are from the farms on Taha'a an in the Tuamotus and you may even get a chance to see the incredibly rare black pearls.

Take an exciting four wheel drive tour of Moorea's lush, mountainous interior. The tracks and paths which wind their way up the peaks can only be traversed in appropriate vehicles with experienced drivers, as they are amazingly steep and very narrow.

When you emerge from the tropical forests, you are rewarded with fantastic views down to the villages, the lagoon and the ocean beyond the reef. Along the way you will visit fruit plantations, the school of agriculture, historic marae, the twin valleys of Cooks Bay and Opunohu Bay, and one of the fruit juice tasting factories - here you will also find an array of local fruit liquers!

You also pass through the small villages where you will find unique shops and small restaurants, a great way to familiarise yourself with this beautiful, industrious little island.
