Bora Bora is dominated by palatial Mt. Otemanu and Mt. Pahia, volcanic peaks with lush, verdant slopes. Its turquoise-blue lagoon is dotted with colorful motus, or coral islets. Suspended on the blue expanse of the South Pacific Ocean are worlds as different from each other as they are from anywhere else. Follow the course of the earliest native explorers who spread their cultures by canoe, guided only by the currents, the waves and stars.

Papeete is the major city of Tahiti and the capital of French Polynesia. This little city of 80,000 people is pretty recent as there were no buildings on its site when in 1769, Captain Cook first reached Matavai Bay located 10 km away on the East Coast. Since the 18th century, sailors realized how safe was its bay for their ships. In 1797, the London Missionary Society (LMS) tried to send some missionaries to settle down in Papeete but they did not succeed until 1824 with the help of Queen Pomare IV. It was Governor Bruat who decided in 1843 that Papeete would become the administrative center of the newly born French Protectorate. At that time, the expansion of the city was going fast and the bay of Papeete had become a large harbour. In the 19th century, some Chinese started to settle down in Papeete which counted only 5,000 persons. During World War I, Papeete was bombed by the Germans, and the Municipal Market was destroyed.

The second biggest atoll in Polynesia, a 60 km by 25 km rectangle has two main villages: Rotoava in the northeast near the Ngarue pass, one kilometer wide and its airdrome; and then there is Tetamanu, formerly the main village of the island located near the southern Tumakohua pass. This protected atoll together with its six neighboring islands, originally including Taiaro, makes up a Unesco-classified nature reserve, which is proof of the richness of the ecosystem of these atolls: the especially rare flora and fauna, including the hunting king-fisher, the Tuamotu palm, and in the lagoons, crustaceans such as squills or sea cicadas. Among the things to be explored here are: a pearl farm visit and the fairly colorful visit to the sea slug smoke house, the "rori" highly prized by Asian gourmets, and the ancient village of Tetamanu with one of the first Catholic churches built in coral and dating from 1874. The real drawcard to the island is its scuba diving which still holds its share of excitement in the virtually untouched spots where there is to be found a concentration of lagoon and ocean fish such as loach, meru, barracuda, rays, and the highly memorable hammerhead and tiger sharks.
The atolls of Tahiti are some of the largest and most beautiful in the world. They are low-lying islands and are very different from the mountainous islands of Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. All of the islands that make up theTuamotus are coral atolls. These coral rings surround a lagoon and offer some of the most beautiful colors and clear waters set against dramatic white sand beaches. Explore the islands by open-air cars or bicycles; discover the lagoon and surrounding motus by motorboat, canoe, or sailboat. Rangiroa, the largest atoll in the South Pacific, is only an hour’s flight from Tahiti. Its lagoon is 42 miles long and 16 miles wide, which is larger than the island of Tahiti. The total population of the island is about 1,400 people who live in two villages. These villages lie on opposite sides of a navigable pass that provides access to the lagoon from the open ocean beyond. It is one of these passes that provides one of Tahiti’s best and most adventurous diving experiences, a drift dive teaming with Hammerhead sharks. This island also offers you one of the more unique hotel experiences, the Kia Ora Sauvage.
Huahine lies 175 km (110 miles) northwest of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands, visible from Raiatea, Tahaa, and Bora Bora. Comprised of Huahine Nui (big Huahine) and Huahine-Iti (little Huahine), the two islands are joined by a narrow isthmus and are enclosed within a protective coral necklace. Off-shore "motu" islets lie inside the barrier reef, providing luscious gardens for Huahine's watermelon and cantaloupe industry. A road, mostly un-paved, winds 32 km (20 miles) around the two islands, passing through small villages where the 4,480 inhabitants live in colorful, modest homes. The lagoon, bordered by white sand beaches, is rich with sea life, and the Village of Maeva is a wealth of archaeological sites. The principal village of Fare slumbers under the shade of almond and acacia trees, and awakens with delight at the frequent arrivals of the inter-island ferries from Papeete. Then truckloads of copra, pigs, taro, bananas, and melons are brought to the quay for market days. People from all over the island mingle with arriving passengers and curious tourists, all enjoying the bustling activity and wandering in and out of the various Chinese shops along Fare's waterfront Then the ships blast their farewell and head out the pass, the last Le Truck leaves town, headed for the villages once again. And life on this peaceful island resumes its normal pace.
Raiatea is located in the southern part of the Leeward Islands. Its huge lagoon also incorporates the island of Tahaa. Raiatea has an area of 238 square kilometers (92 sq. miles). That makes it the fourth-largest island in French Polynesia in terms of area. The biggest island is Tahiti (1,042 sq. kilometers, or 402 sq. miles), followed by Nuku Hiva in the northern Marquesas Islands (330 sq. kilometers, or 127 sq. miles) and Hiva Oa in the southern Marquesas Islands (320 sq. kilometers, or 124 sq. miles). Raiatea is shaped like an isosceles triangle with a base of 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) and a height of 20 kilometers (12.4 miles). The island is an old former volcanic mass, the last lava having flowed some 2.5 million years ago. Raiatea’s tallest point is in the south, where Mt. Tefatoaiti reaches an altitude of 1,017 meters (3,337 ft.). In the north, there is the Temehani volcanic rock plateau, which rises to 792 meters (2,598 ft.) and is decorated by historic peaks. Several big valleys cut deeply into the edges of this high island, creating some of the most favorable places for populations to settle. They include six bays—Vairahi, Faaro, and Opoa along the east coast; Faatemu at the southern tip; and Vaihuti and Vaiaau along the west coast. Alluvial fans--deposits of streams coming from a gorge upon a plain—have partially filled in the bays, offering flat land that helps compensate for the narrowness of the coastal plains. Raiatea has the reputation of being the cradle of Polynesian civilizations. In ancient times, the island was known as “Havai’i fanau’ra venue”, which means “Havai’i, the cradle”. Furthermore, famous ethnologist Pearl Buck wrote that according to Polynesian mythology fragments of Havai’i broke off to create other islands, swimming like a fish to become the Windward Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Maiao, Mehetia, and Tetiaroa.
Bora Bora is the most magical of all the French Polynesian islands. The main island of Bora Bora, home to 4,225 inhabitants, is in the center of a multicolored lagoon, surrounded by offshore motu islets inside a protective coral necklace. The motu islets of Bora Bora are the ideal location for a Bora Bora honeymoon. Bora Bora has numerous luxury hotels and resorts, Hotel Bora Bora was the first Hotel in French Polynesia to build over-water bungalows. No matter what kind of vacation you are planning, Bora Bora is a must when visiting French Polynesia. There is only one navigable pass, facing the principal village of Vaitape. A 29 km (18 miles) partially sealed road circles the Bora Bora, passing through colorful villages, archaeological sites, old Army bunkers, and cannons left over from World War II. Bora Bora lies 240 Km (150 miles) northwest of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands. Matira Beach has white sand and warm, shallow water. Bora Bora's lagoon is world-famous for its beauty.

Opunohu Bay is a bay on the island of Moorea, Tahiti. It is a narrow, straight, 3-km-long bay with a water depth of about 80 meters at the mouth.
