Considered
by many, the most beautiful islands in the
world.
Bora Bora, with a lagoon resembling an
artist's palette of blues and greens, is
love at first sight. Honeymooners and
romantics from around the world have laid
claim to this island where the castle-like
Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical
slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus
while palm-covered motus circle the lagoon
like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where
impossibly colored fish animate the coral
gardens.
Moorea,
Often likened to
James Michener's mythical island of Bali Hai,
Moorea is marked by volcanic peaks reflected
in the tranquil waters of its two signature
bays.
Groves of Palm trees edge the coastline
where the aquamarine waters of the lagoon
gently lap the shore while, inland, emerald
slopes rise steeply above quaint homes
ringed by red hibiscus, delicate plumeria,
and fragrant tiare. A fantasy come
true!
Tahiti,
Often
referred to as "The Island of Love", This
turtle-shaped island, crowned by Polynesia's
two highest peaks and skirted by black
velvet beaches and pink coral reefs, is the
largest of the 118 islands that comprise
French Polynesia. The legendary name
"Tahiti" not only identifies this island but
also the group of islands that make up
French Polynesia.
