Why visit French Polynesia
The French Polynesian Islands cover two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and are comprised of 118 islands spread over five great archipelagos. Within French Polynesia, explore the islands of Bora Bora, Moorea and Tahiti. From the warmth of the air, scented heavily with tropical flowers through to fiery romantic sunsets that signal the end of another fabulous Tahitian day, French Polynesia continues to seduce honeymooners, romantics, adventurers and holiday makers with its hypnotic beauty. Although most of today's visitors arrive by scheduled airline flights from all over the world, the Tahitian welcome is still very much the same: warm, friendly and genuine. People come to French Polynesia to holiday in stylish resort hotels, scuba dive in lagoons teeming with tropical fish, gorge on the unique mix of French Polynesian cuisine and basically experience a little French chic mixed with South Pacific charm.
