While
Raiatea and Tahaa do not yet share Bora Bora's fame, tourists who have been there will
rave about their enchantment, which have nothing to envy to that of the "Pearl of the
South Seas". You will be introduced to a different experience, in the heart of a
different world, a universe that will teach you the true values of the Polynesian islands.
Second island in size after Tahiti, Raiatea features an extraordinary variety: romantic
motu within a deep lagoon rich with fish, mountains inviting you to discover nature at its
wildest and most luscious, and a happy and friendly people. Planning a one week stay to
discover the "Sacred Island" will make you long with curiosity. For the
Polynesian Maohi, ancestor of today's Tahitians, Raiatea was known as Sacred Havai'i, and
was the centre of royalty, religion, culture, history and heraldry. This high place of
Polynesian culture has everything to seduce the visitor. As to Tahaa, it will charm its
guests with is nonchalant tropical serenity. Away from tourist itineraries, the
"Vanilla Island" offers you its enchanting scenery and a turquoise lagoon, one
of Polynesia's most beautiful. Castaway on one of its many motu, you will enjoy the true
meaning of relaxation. People there still know how to live like in the old days...
