Huahine, part of French Polynesia's Society Islands, is often regarded as one of the most picturesque and culturally rich islands in the region.

This tranquil island is encircled by a crystal-clear lagoon teeming with marine life, making it ideal for snorkelling and diving.

Visitors can explore ancient marae (sacred temples) and archaeological sites that reflect the island's deep Polynesian roots, providing a glimpse into its rich history and traditions. The laid-back atmosphere extends to the local villages, where crafts like vanilla farming and fishing are still part of daily life.

The international date line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north to south line on the Earth. It does zigzag around political borders such as eastern Russia and Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

Crossing the date line eastbound decreases the date by one day, while crossing the date line westbound increases the date. So when you cross east to west you always lose a day and crossing from west to east you get the same day twice (or gain a day).
