Exploring the world. French Polynesia. 4
Description
This program presents you with the opportunity of a lifetime, to discover the French Polynesia Islands as the explorers did centuries ago: sailing through the South Pacific, letting the wind set the vessel's course to charter this paradise of 115 islands and atolls. Here we discover the islands immortalized in the paintings of Paul Gauguin, view lucid blue lagoons, enjoy the warmth of the Polynesian people, and soak up the tranquility of the islands. Huahine Island we learn is actually two islands, known as Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti, interconnected by a bridge; also Captain James Cook was the first European explorer to visit here in 1769. Moorea, a "Paradise Island," is completely encircled by coral reef and was originally a volcano. Bora Bora's most treasured feature is Bora Bora lagoon. Also Tahaa, nicknamed the "Vanilla Island" because of its constant rich aroma of vanilla, is a leading exporter of black pearls.
