    French Polynesia is composed of 5 archipelagos: Society, Tuamotu, Marquesas, Gambier & Austral islands.

    The best way to discover this vast territory is certainly on a sailboat

    Marquesas (december to march)

    The richness of their culture, human encounters, nature and landscape make these islands so endearing, that it is hard to leave again.

     

    The "young" Marquesas have no lagoon and the wilderness they contain make them unique with towering mountains disappearing into the sea.

    • Hiking and horse riding
    • Fjord-like bays
    • Swimming in natural wonders (into the sea and waterfalls)

    The Tuamotu are an untouched world offering desert anchorages in strings of coral encircling luminous turquoise and jade-green lagoons.

     

    The main attraction here is a rich life below the surface. A rich ecosystem, home to rare birds, plants, and crustaceans while infinite schools of marine life fill the iridescent waters.

    • Navigation within the atolls
    • Anchorages off the beaten path in front of your “motus” (small desert island)
