Four Action-Packed Days in French Polynesia
Whether it be Fiji, Bora Bora, Tahiti, or Moorea, each island of French Polynesia is a picturesque paradise that stands celestial in all of the world's imagination.
BY RIVER
With each isle only a speck of mainland surrounded by the vast ocean, rivers may not immediately leap to mind. But they should. Faaroa River, Raiatea's only navigable waterway, beckons the adventurous for a day of kayaking you will never forget. Once you arrive in the deep interior, ancient Taputapuatea is only a quick car ride away. Learn about Polynesia's captivating origins at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ceremonial marae temples of old still reign supreme.
BY AIR
Sometimes when admiring beauty, the forest as a whole is a grander scene than the single tree. To apply this logic to French Polynesia, a hike to a mountaintop would suffice, though a seaplane ride soaring over Bora Bora would be a lot more fun. Take in the full panorama of the archipelago by glimpsing the likes of overwater bungalows, World War II cannon-relics, and the fabled heart-shaped atoll of Tupai.
BY WIRE
Where there are forest canopies, there are certain to be zip lines, and the isles of French Polynesia are no different. Island-hop to Moorea for the opportunity to race down its lush mountainous terrain on any of the multiple zip lines available.
BY OVERWATER BUNGALOW
There's nothing like waking up early in the morning, stepping out of your bungalow, and diving straight into the glowing turquoise waters of the Pacific, splashing in to find giant turtles and dolphins swimming nearby. Staying in an overwater bungalow, where such moments could occur, is a quintessential Polynesian experience.
