Hello traveler,
I am Federico, Product Manager at TWE, and today I want to share with you an experience that exceeded all our expectations.
Recently, we had the opportunity to explore Polynesia thanks to the Tahiti Tourist Board’s hosting, and I am excited to tell you about the wonders we discovered beyond paradisiacal Bora Bora.
The Magic of Polynesia: Beyond Bora Bora
Don’t get me wrong, Bora Bora is undoubtedly a piece of paradise with its crystal clear waters and dreamy beaches. However, after a long journey to get there, it is essential to go further and discover what the whole of Polynesia has to offer. Limiting yourself to staying at one resort and enjoying only the views and facilities is a shame when there are so many hidden gems to explore.
It is time to move, explore, learn and discover. Polynesia is a land of adventures, unique cultures, and breathtaking landscapes that deserve to be discovered.
A Sustainable Guide for Your Trip to Polynesia
After returning, I pondered how to share even a small part of this extraordinary experience.
Here is an unedited guide to the 5 sustainable experiences that cannot be missed on your trip to Polynesia:
1. Rent a Catamaran
Discovering the islands of Polynesia from a catamaran is definitely sustainable and fascinating. Sailing between the islands allows you to admire spectacular views from the sea and immerse yourself in nature during stops. It is an experience that combines adventure with the opportunity to enjoy unparalleled views while respecting the environment.
2. Lunch at a Local’s House in Huahine.
There is nothing better than savoring typical dishes such as poisson cru while listening to fascinating stories from the host. In Huahine, you will have the opportunity to discover the serenity of the people of this island and immerse yourself in the simple and authentic life, where the sea and local cuisine take center stage.
3. Visit the Raiatea Botanical Garden.
Reachable by kayak, the Raiatea Botanical Garden is a true paradise for nature lovers. Here you can admire the rare Tiare ‘apetahi, a unique flower that grows only on the summit of Mount Temahani. Respect the environment by admiring this wonder without touching it, and be enchanted by the pristine beauty.
4. Explore Rangiroa by Bicycle
Discovering Rangiroa on two wheels is a great and sustainable way to explore the island. By bicycle, you can reach spectacular viewpoints and enjoy ocean views. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the spectacle of dolphins playing in the waves near Ohotu Harbor, where a guest house will provide a warm welcome.
5. Visit an Artistic Guest House in Moorea
The Taianapa Concept House in Moorea is a contemporary Polynesian art residence that hosts artists, exhibitions, concerts, and workshops. This unique space combines hospitality, culture and respect for the environment, offering an immersive experience that celebrates creativity and sustainability.
Conclusion
These are just a few of the many extraordinary experiences you can have in Polynesia.
Each island has its own uniqueness and wonders to offer, making each trip an unparalleled adventure.
I hope these recommendations inspire you to explore Polynesia in all its beauty and diversity.
