Raiatea and Tahaa are two of French Polynesia's favorite undiscovered treasures...

Far less traveled than Bora Bora, Tahiti, or Moorea, these two fascinating islands offer the vacationer the experience of a true unspoiled French Polynesia.

The larger of the two islands, Raiatea, is only slightly smaller than Tahiti itself. This makes Raiatea the second largest Island in the French Polynesian Archipelago known as the Society Islands, and the largest of the "Leewards." Located directly between Bora Bora and Tahiti, Raiatea is closely situated to all the wonderful South Pacific islands known to the world as Tahiti Polynesia.

Raiatea itself is recognized throughout Tahiti as it's "Sacred Island"- the cultural heart of all Tahiti Polynesia. It is believed by historians that Raiatea was the main stopover point for early Polynesians newly arrived from Hawaii, then known as Hav'aii.

The Island holds much fascinating history, legend, and lore, as well as Tahiti's most significant archeological sites.

All these wonderful attributes and more make Raiatea & Tahaa a fascinating world destination for you to explore. Take some quality time as you browse the pages and information of our site and enjoy your stay.
