Travel Guide French Polynesia

The Honeymoon Classic: four Society Islands in 14 days, consistently snorkel and lagoon-based. Air Tahiti Multi-Island Pass covers the flights.

More affordable option: Focus on the two best-connected main islands. Pensions de famille, rental scooters, no inter-island flights. Still a full Polynesian experience at moderate costs.

For divers: Concentration on the atolls. Rangiroa and Fakarava are among the best dive spots in the world. Bring certification in advance (AOWD recommended).

For culturally interested travelers: the Marquesas with Gauguin's grave, Tiki sites, and traditional Polynesian lifestyle. Alternatively: Cruise with the Aranui 5 (12 days around the Marquesas).
