This is maybe the most expensive tourist destination in the world.
Very few people can afford to visit this paradise.
The main reason is the great distance of Europe and North America (the main tourist markets).

The air is absolutely clean.
The beaches are snow – white.

The water is limpid. It is perfect for divers.
The coral reef could not be described. They are unbelievable palette of colors and forms.
Of course, you could not stay 24 hours on the beach.
Because of this reason you have to know that French Polynesia is not only white beaches and coco palms.
Here you can find tropical rainforest with amazing inhabitants, most of them birds.

The biggest part of the islands, are former volcanoes, extinct a long time ago.
In the course of time the volcanoes have sunk into the sea.
Today on the ocean surface you can sea only “rings” of coral reefs, covered by sand and lush greenness.
That type of island, are named atolls.

Of course you can find also islands that are not atolls.
They are younger and posses high volcanic mountains.
The highest parts of the islands are usually covered by rain clouds. The precipitations are significant.
The biggest city Papeete is a modern and beautiful city with clean streets, nice buildings and good infrastructure.
It is connected by ferry and air plane links by the most of the islands.
