The Society Islands

The Society Islands, considered "Paradise on Earth" by savvy travelers, were explored by Captain James Cook in 1769, naming them after England's Royal Society - and Royal islands they certainly are.

They are divided into the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands, two clusters of volcanic and coral islands lying in a chain.   Of these, the most recognizable names are the legendary islands of Bora Bora, Moorea and Tahiti.

This island group boasts the largest variety of resorts & activities, as well as the largest, most populous islands in all of French Polynesia.

The Marquesas Islands

The Marquesas, or Henua Enata meaning "Land of Men", are seemingly lost at the end of the earth.

Even now, some of the islands are virtually untouched since the era of European exploration. The isolation of the Marquesas from other lands has created an immense pride among the people and a fascinating culture.

Natural wonders abound as 1000-foot waterfalls cascade down sheer volcanic cliffs, and towering mountains disappear mysteriously in the clouds.

The Tuamotu Islands

Tuamotu is an archipelago comprising 78 low islands or coral atolls scattered over several hundred miles of the eastern Pacific. Life on these remote atolls is simple and quiet. Interior lagoons are a haven for black pearl farms, fish parks, snorkelling and scuba diving.

Their location and uncrowded lands make them perfect for people who want a true remote Pacific island experience! When tourists and travelers journey to these islands, they usually come to relax, dive, and slow down the pace of their lives.
