Overview
Take a trip to Tuamotu Islands on your French Polynesia Vacation
The Tuamotu Islands are decidedly remote and perfect for the traveller wanting to get away from it all on a Tahiti vacation. They make up the world’s largest chain of coral atolls with a total of 78 stretchings 1500 kilometres/900 miles northwest to the southeast and 500kilometres/300 miles east to west, an area as large as Western Europe.
These low-lying islands offer great scuba diving and snorkeling experiences with their vast array of coral and marine life. The largest atoll and the second largest in the world here is Rangiroa, the major island for tourism in the Tuamotus. Also developed for tourism is the island of Manihi with its excellent beaches on Tahiti vacations.

South Pacific Franc (XPF)What do the experts say?
The iconic Poisson Cru must be tried while in French Polynesia - it is raw fish marinated in lime juice and coconut milk - so good!
The Food - Polynesian cuisine is based upon using top quality fresh local produce and both savory and sweet dishes often flavored with vanilla or coconut milk. It's surprising to hear many of the perishable ingredients that go into your meals are flown in from various other international countries, and yet, can still taste so fresh and exquisite.
I love the stunning natural beauty, the wonderful people and the opportunity to experience this unique Polynesian culture
