Islands
Where You Should Go
As much as Paris doesn’t represent France, Bora Bora, Tahiti and Moorea (the beloved islands of tour operators), don’t sum up French Polynesia. There are about 30 islands (scattered in five archipelagoes) that have tourist facilities, which means that you’ve got plenty of choice. Tip: skip the heavily-publicised islands, such as Bora Bora, which are very expensive, and consider lesser-known, off-the-radar islands, which offer greater value for money.
A Few Suggestions...
Maupiti (Bora Bora’s little sister), Raiatea, Tahaa (in the Society islands), Mataiva, Tikehau (in the Tuamotus), Nuku Hiva, Ua Huka, Ua Pou (in the Marquesas), Raivavae, and Rurutu (in the Australs).
