Huahine
‘la ora na e maeva i Huahine. Located 175 km from Tahiti, this “island of the elongated woman” offers curious hills and unique sites, from the marae of Maeva to 600-year-old fish traps. Take a pirogue tour, explore the motu paradise, taste melons and watermelons, and contemplate Maro’e Bay from the Belvedere. Huahine, a preserved treasure.
Raiatea and Tahaa
Raiatea and Taha’a share the same lagoon, an ideal playground for sailing enthusiasts. Raiatea, capital of yachting but above all the cradle of Polynesian mythology, is home to the Taputapuatea marae and Polynesia’s only navigable river. The wilder Taha’a is known for its vanilla, rum and motu beaches. Together, they offer a unique experience.
Bora Bora
Bora Bora often evokes the ultimate dream, with its coconut palms, white sand beaches and bungalows on stilts. But the Pearl of the Pacific has much more to offer. Explore its legends, history and people. Tour the island by car or bike, visit the market, climb Mount Pahia or Popoti, dive for manta rays, and discover the remains of the Second World War. Bora Bora, much more than a postcard.
Maupiti
Nicknamed the “little Bora Bora”, Maupiti’s beauty rivals that of its neighbor, Bora Bora, just a short plane ride away. On this island of just a dozen square kilometers, there are no luxurious resorts, just welcoming guesthouses in the simple, warm Polynesian style. Explore the lagoon while swimming with manta rays, climb Mount Teurafaatui for breathtaking views, tour the island by bike or on foot, relax on Tereia beach, then cross to the motu on foot!
Rangiroa and Fakarava
Change of scenery: we head for the Tuamotu archipelago, in particular Rangiroa, one of the three largest atolls in the world, and the largest in Polynesia, just an hour’s flight from Tahiti. With its 79 km², it’s said that the whole island of Tahiti could fit inside it! Underwater, spectacular seabeds with dolphins, sharks, rays, turtles and clownfish hidden in anemones! On land, fifty shades of blue and green. Fakarava, a diver’s mecca, is classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. A word of advice: opt for an authentic stay, go barefoot, discover charming guesthouses and share daily life with the locals. A stay in the Tuamotus brings you back to basics.
Hiva Oa and Ua Pou
Kaoha nui and welcome to the Marquesas, Te Henua Enata, the land of men. 1500 km northeast of Tahiti, the Marquesas archipelago is a land of stories and legends, and a unique culture. The archipelago comprises 12 islands, all lush and fascinating, six of which are inhabited. Islands of rough, rugged relief. Follow in the footsteps of Brel and Gauguin at Hiva Oa or discover Ua Pou with its basalt peaks and living traditions. The Marquesas offer many reasons to fully enjoy this unique experience.
Rurutu
Rurutu, with its sheer cliffs, mysterious caves, white sandy beaches, lush tropical gardens, tarodières, fine crafts, enchanting legends and picturesque villages, welcomes you! It’s a real little paradise, authentic and full of charm, whether it’s the land, the sea or its endearing inhabitants.
