French Polynesia- An Ocean Paradise
Tahiti and her sister islands of French Polynesia are extremely well developed for all maritime recreational activities. Most of the resorts and other centres for scuba diving along with snorkelling, canoeing, kayaking, paragliding, waterskiing and jet skiing are in the Leeward Islands of the society Island Group, only a short flight from tahiti.

All these islands have broad, exceptionally beautiful lagoons and outlaying islets, known as motus. Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea-Tahaa and Bora Bora all have superb awuatic facilities.

Local specialties include dolphin watching off Moorea, mantaray feeding off tahaa and shark feeding at Bora Bora. Raiatea has French Polynesia's only navigable river, which debouches into Faaroa bay, where yacht charter companies are based. These comfortable vessels can be chartered "wet" or "dry", ans sailed safely within Raiataea's lagoon.
