  • What are the best areas to spend a week in French Polynesia?

    For a week, you could enjoy a split stay: perhaps Bora Bora for its iconic luxury and Moorea for its lush landscapes and activities. Alternatively, explore Tahiti and one of the outer islands like Rangiroa for a mix of culture and diving.

    A weekend is best spent focusing on one island. Tahiti offers the most accessible range of activities and cultural experiences within a short timeframe. Moorea is another good choice for its proximity to Tahiti and diverse offerings.
