French Polynesia Activities

15 main cultural activities

Search the hotel, guesthouse and one-of-a-kind houses and make your reservations on the world's premier accommodationsites. French Polynesia comprises 118 French Polynesian Isles and oceans spread across the Atlantic Sea. Whitewashed sandy shores (and rose and black) line jagged summits of islets, while beautiful sea corals create calm waters that are colored bluish and full of marine life such as schools of fishies, eel, dolphins, stingrays, tortoises and shark.

Tahiti and Bora Bora evoke pictures of hay roof huts that have been constructed over a lake and pairs that stand out against the sundown. However, a large selection of family-run properties and B&Bs offers less flamboyant (and unexpectedly affordable) adventures that involve more of the relaxed atmophere.

Polynesia is located in the South Pacific. Schedule your holidays in French Polynesia and other travel locations, from the countryside to the city and everything in between, with our French Polynesia travel planer.
