French Polynesia: Society Islands
built 652 days ago
French Polynesia (Tahiti) is considered to be the most beautiful and romantic place on Earth. These islands are located only 2 1/2 hours beyond Hawaii, and yet a world apart. An extraordinarily safe destination, the islands and people of Tahiti welcome visitors with a remarkable blend of beauty and tranquility.

Cruising Tahiti and French Polynesia is a dream tropical vacation. I've been lucky enough to cruise the South Pacific twice--once to the Society Islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Raiatea, and Huahine; and the second time from Tahiti to the Tuamotu and Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia on the passenger freighter the Aranui 3. Pictures are grouped together or you can view the photos as slide shows by clicking below.
