Across Ten Islands: Our Love Affair with French Polynesia
If we had to choose one destination above all others, it would be French Polynesia. No place has ever captured our hearts quite like these islands scattered across the South Pacific.
Our journey took us across ten unforgettable islands. We explored the dreamy atolls of the Tuamotus: Tikehau with its pink sand beaches, Fakarava with its legendary wall of sharks where we dove surrounded by hundreds of reef sharks, and Rangiroa with its endless lagoon. In the Society Islands, we wandered through Tahiti, fell in love with the iconic silhouette of Bora Bora, discovered the unspoiled beauty of Maupiti, explored Raiatea and Tahaa with their vanilla plantations, got enchanted by Moorea's dramatic peaks, and found tranquility on Huahine.
One memory stands out above all: kayaking through completely deserted motus, tiny islands where we were the only souls for miles, surrounded by nothing but turquoise water, coconut palms, and silence.
French Polynesia gave us moments of pure magic that we carry with us every day. It is the benchmark against which we measure every other destination, and nothing has come close yet.
