The rich tapestry of Polynesian culture, spanning 3,000 years, comes alive through music, dance, and the stories of Mana. And the cuisine? It's a delightful fusion of fresh seafood and tropical flavours, promising to tantalize your taste buds.

The Three Souls of French Polynesia

Each archipelago in French Polynesia has its distinct charm:

Society Islands: The westernmost archipelago of French Polynesia, the Society Islands, features otherworldly landscapes that are volcanic in origin, with deep browns, greens and turquoise blues and low-lying mountains revealing rainbows of coral. Atoll after atoll of stunning shores are yours to explore, including the “Cradle of Polynesian Culture”, Raiatea.
Tuamotu Archipelago: Like a string of shiny pearls laid across the deep blues of the South Pacific, the 80 atolls of Tuamotu lie low against the waters with fine white sand bars and swaying green palm trees perched atop rich coral reefs. The main islands, Rangiroa and Fakarava, feature deep clear lagoons, a range of incredible marine wildlife, and places that come alive with the traditions and history of French Polynesia.
Marquesas Islands: At the northeastern end of French Polynesia, the Marquesas include some of the most remote islands in the entire world and even have their own time zone. Hidden bays shimmer among hills full of exotic vegetation and wildlife that serve as a backdrop to a vibrant culture. You'll be immersed in events and activities that reveal how local communities live, play and thrive in these faraway isles.

“Mystical names such as Raiatea, Nuku Hiva and Tahuata set the stage for French Polynesia’s breathtaking beaches, crystal clear waters and otherworldly scenery: a magical paradise beyond compare.” Agnes Brochet, Destination Research And Development, Silversea
