The islands collectively known as 'Tahiti' actually consists of 118 spectacular islands located in five island groups: the Society Islands, the Tuamotus, the Marquesas, the Austral and the Gambier archipelago. Located in the same time zone as Hawaii, the islands of French Polynesia are located half way between California and Australia.
French Polynesia enjoys a warm tropical climate year round with an average yearly temperature of 79F and an average ocean and water temperature of 80F. Visitors will be charmed by the Polynesian and French influences around the islands. French and Tahitian are the official languages of the islands. However, English is spoken and understood in tourist areas.
Attractions: With its exciting mix of cultures, French Polynesia promises visitors an exciting tropical getaway. Consisting of 118 South Pacific islands and atolls, French Polynesia is a wonderful destination for travelers who enjoy water activities. There are a number of scuba outfitters who will help visitors make the most of their dives. Being surrounded by many varieties of animal life, including brightly colored schools of fish, coral, and sponges, scuba diving in French Polynesia is an exciting adventure for both beginners and experienced divers. Snorkeling is also very popular with the islanders. With good snorkeling spots located near just about every hotel and beach hut, travelers never have to venture far to find an exciting underwater exploration. Although there are many places on the islands to rent snorkeling equipment, many returned visitors suggest that you take your own equipment with you to ensure that your mask does not leak and that all of your gear fits well.
French Polynesia has a long history of surfing. According to some accounts, the native Polynesian people were the first to take to the waves on wooden planks. Just about every island has some great surfing spots, but the best locations are at the open ocean entryways into lagoons. Called passes, these areas allow large waves to form but allow surfers to avoid the coral that surrounds the lagoon.

Huahine
Huahine is, arguably, the most picturesque island in all of French Polynesia...
With steep mountains descending into protected bays of azure blue and emerald green colors, the island is also one of the more geographically diverse of the Society Group. Also known as "The Garden Island" due to its abundance of lush green tropical foliage and wild jungle-like scenery, Huahine is one of the more interesting of the Society Islands to explore.
Huahine itself is actually 2 islands known as Huahine-Nui and Huahine-Iti (Big Huahine and little Huahine). Interconnected by a bridge, both islands can be easily explored in a day or two, making this a travel destination you will never forget.
There are many things that make Huahine stand out among the Society islands, but perhaps the most treasured one is the much saught after idea of solitude and quietness. Similiar to its cousins Raiatea and Tahaa, Huahine is far less touristed than Moorea, Bora bora and Tahiti! (and that's a good thing) This island is so relaxing and stress free that many people pick it as their favorite Society Island after traveling here just once.
There's also an abundance of long and beautiful white sandy beaches on Huahine... and the good news is that on this island, most of them are easily accessable for total quality beach and sun worshipping.
All these wonderful attributes and more make Huahine a fascinating world destination for you to explore. Take some quality time as you browse the pages and information of our site and enjoy your stay.
