Just mention French Polynesia and the first place that comes to mind is usually Tahiti; it is the largest and the most populated of French Polynesia's Society Islands. This south Pacific paradise is only 28 miles wide, but its highest point, Mount Orohena, is 7,352 feet above sea level. The rich soils of the volcanic mountains here support lush vegetation and one of the best ways to take in the sites is with a 4 x 4, as we do here, into the jungle-like interior to enjoy many natural beauties, including cascading waterfalls and magnificent pools that provide a striking contrast to the black sand beaches and turquoise lagoons that surround the island. Tahiti's population is approximately 180,000 people and the largest city and capital is Papeete, which is located on the northwest coast; this part of the island is known as Tahiti Nui or "Big Tahiti"; the smaller and more remote section, which is connected by the Taravao Isthmus, is called Tahiti Iti or "Small Tahiti." As you'll discover, Tahiti, no matter how you say it, is a place that no one who visits ever forgets.

The Society Islands of French Polynesia are made up of the Windward Islands, where Tahiti is situated, and the Leeward Islands, which are a group of islands west of the Windward Isles; it is here where you find one of the world's most famous islands, Bora Bora, which is also known as "The Marvelous Island." In this program we discover why. Bora Bora is a relatively small island and its population is less than 10,000; however, what it lacks in size and numbers, it makes up for in almost indescribable beauty. Encircled by a sheltering necklace of pearl white, sandy beaches, the main island sits like a jewel in the center of a multi-colored lagoon; it is surrounded by offshore islets inside a protective necklace of coral. And thanks to the wonderful cinematography of this program, our sailboat ride here offers viewers a visual experience they never forget

Only 11 miles from Tahiti, Moorea has often been likened to James Michener's mythical island of Bali Hai, made famous in the book and musical South Pacific. You may have lunch on an uninhabited island, a Motu, or dine Tahitian style in a ceremonial village. Also the richness of this island's underwater life makes it a special destination. Here we see Mount Tohiea; folklore says this prominent peak was pierced by the spear of the legendary hero, Pai; also Mount Rotui offers a spectacular view of both Opunohu and Cook's Bay. Next we learn that spinner dolphins are the world's most acrobatic dolphins and are identified by their unique dorsal fins. Next we explore the Tiki Village, a Tahitian cultural center and re-created village of the past.

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.
