Tahiti and her 117 sibling islands, collectively called French Polynesia, make up one the most spectacularly beautiful environments on earth. A mixture of high volcanic islands and lowlying atolls, these specks of land are strewn across four million square kilometres of ocean and are the size of Western Europe. Each group of islands shares a distinctive history and culture, but all 118 islands have in common a beguiling blend of Polynesian and French cultures and a tropical climate.
