Raiatea is traditionally known as ancient Havai'i, the sacred island at the centre of the Polynesian Triangle from which the islands of Hawaii and New Zealand were reached.

Along its eastern coastline is the ceremonial site of Marae Taputapuatea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ancient Polynesians held rituals for their gods and sought safety for their seafarers. Today, Marae Taputapuatea is still used as a sacred departure point for voyagers crossing to other Pacific Islands in outrigger canoes. Emerald peaks rise in Raiatea's interior that are cloaked in tropical flowers, fruit trees, taro plantations and wild foliage. It's where streams trickle and waterfalls roar. With few beaches on the main island, the lush shoreline of Raiatea cedes to a vibrant lagoon hosting every shade of blue and coral reefs rife with marine life including reef sharks, rays and sea turtles.

Surrounding the main island are motu (tiny islets of palm trees ringed by white sand beaches) which are easily reached on a lagoon tour. Cruises to Raiatea, French Polynesia set you up for an incredible day trip to the sister island of Taha'a, where life moves slowly amidst the vanilla farms tucked in the foothills of the island's rolling hills.

Papeete is the lively capital of French Polynesia on the island of Tahiti, a figure-eight-shaped island formed by the eruption of two volcanoes that's become a go-to spot for tropical adventure. A bustling urban centre, Papeete feels more French than anywhere else in Tahiti so head to the centre of the city to the vibrant Municipal Market where you can pick up coffee and chocolate croissants or shop for hand-carved Tiki statues. See the waves crashing against the volcanic black-sand beach at Plage du Taharuu before hiking through the verdant jungle at Fautaua Valley where a dramatic waterfall cascades almost 1,000 feet into a natural pool.

Escape the city heat at the botanical gardens of the French Polynesia Assembly Complex where you can stroll past a herb garden, tiki statues and a tranquil moss-covered pond. Alternatively, you can head to the beautiful Paofai Gardens where the trails take you past the bay and through ornamental fish ponds. Papeete is lined with picture-perfect beaches so take the opportunity to go surfing at black-sand Papenoo Beach, play a game of beach volleyball at Plage du Mahana Park or go snorkelling alongside tropical reef fish at Plage de Toaroto.

Lining the waterfront, you'll find an array of restaurants serving a mixture of Tahitian and French cuisine so make sure you taste the national dish of poisson cru (chunks of raw fish marinated in coconut milk) and coconut crab.

In Moorea, you'll find plenty of the Tahitian signature dishes including the chicken fafa which is baked in an underground oven with coconut milk and spinach.
