Introducing Tahiti And French Polynesia

Tahiti and 118 attendant islands and atolls make up the captivating, tropical country of French Polynesia, a French overseas territory that is spread across an area of the South Pacific that is as big as western Europe.


So it is surprising to discover that despite being a dream destination for many, French Polynesia remains gloriously uncrowded. The lack of tourist hordes is mainly the result of the remoteness of the islands, ensuring that travellers who do manage to visit find the destination friendlier, more authentic, and less crowded than many similar destinations. This means it is possible for a visitor to tuck a tiare (Tahiti's national fragrant white flower) behind their ear, pack their swimsuit and pareu (sarong), and head off to find their own idyllic piece of Polynesian paradise.


French Polynesia has much to offer anyone who fancies a tropical holiday destination. Those who are willing to travel a little further afield than usual to enjoy one will be richly rewarded.
