Here's a taste of these islands that await you:

Papeete, Tahiti

Immortalized by Gauguin's paintings, Tahiti is much more than an island; it's a state of mind. Papeete, capital of Tahiti, is the chief port and trading center. It's also a provocateur luring people to her shores. Today the island is a charming blend of Polynesian "joie de vivre" and Gallic sophistication. But venture out from Papeete, and you'll find a landscape of rugged mountains, lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls and deserted beaches.

Huahine, Polynesia

Located within the Society Islands, just over a hundred miles from Tahiti, the two islands of Huahine—Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti (Big Island and Little Island) are surrounded by a deep lagoon encircled by a coral necklace. Connected by a bridge, both islands boast white-sand beaches, vanilla and banana plantations, and some of Polynesia's most significant cultural sites.

Rangiroa, Polynesia

Rangiroa, meaning "huge sky," is the largest atoll in French Polynesia, and one of the four largest in the world. It has more than 240 islets separated by more than 100 small channels that make up its ring of coral, and in the center of the inside lagoon is the Paio islet. Discover this long ribbon of islets located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and marvel at this remote and rarely visited coral atoll.

Raiatea, French Polynesia

Raiatea and Taha'a are two islands enclosed in a single barrier reef. Here you can see lush green valleys, cascades, pineapple and vanilla plantations. Marae Taputapuatea, Raiatea's most famous landmark, is an open air temple made up of seven marae built of stone, once a religious homeland for the Polynesian Maori. Shuttle boats take you from Raiatea to Tahaa where you can choose to take a panoramic hike through mountains and visit a vanilla plantation.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

No name captures the imagination of paradise as well as the French Polynesian island nation of Bora Bora. Majestic mountains sculpted by ancient volcanoes, a shimmering lagoon and a barrier reef dotted with tiny motu or islets welcome visitors to perhaps the most stunning island in the South Pacific, and generations of travelers — including novelist James Michener — regarded Bora Bora as an earthly paradise. Approximately, a mere 4,600 people live a seemingly idyllic lifestyle in the main villages of Vaitape, Anau and Faanui.

Moorea, Polynesia

French Polynesia is made up of some 130 islands, of which Tahiti is the best known. Just 12 miles across the lagoon from Tahiti lies Moorea. To discover the Polynesia of Melville, Gauguin and Michener, you must visit Moorea. This former haunt of Tahitian royalty is a place where you will still see fishermen paddling outrigger canoes, pareo-clad women strolling along the roads and children fishing from island bridges.
