Fall under the spell of the Tuamotu, Marquesas and Society Islands, three archipelagos with unique identities making up French Polynesia. The turquoise lagoons and coral reefs the Tuamotu Islands provide ideal conditions for swimming, diving and discovering the marine world, or simply making the most of preserved beaches. The Society Islands will unveil their emblematic scenery, featuring volcanic landscapes, lagoons with many shades of blue and tropical vegetation, perfect for both relaxation and exploration. The highpoint of your journey, the Marquesas Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will reveal a wilder and lesser-known Polynesia. In Fatu Hiva, Nuku Hiva, Tahuata and Hiva Oa, the deep valleys, waterfalls and archaeological sites recount ancestral history, offering a rare experience in the heart of the Pacific.
