French Polynesia has long been recognised as one of the scenic wonders of the world. For those who dream of paradise on earth, it is French Polynesia, where each idyllic image is brought to life in vibrant colour and heady, tropical luxuriance. Pinpricks of land rise above abundant coral reefs that encircle incredible turquoise lagoons, each filled with a myriad species of marine life and fringed by swaying palms. The three archipelagos most sought by visitors are the Society Islands, comprised of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha'a; The Tuamotu Atolls or ‘Tahiti's Strand of Pearls’, include the atolls of Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava; and the Marquesas, or ‘The Mysterious Islands’.
