Raiatea, first named Havai'i after the homeland of the ancient
Polynesians, is the most sacred island in the south Pacific. As the
center of religion and culture around 1000 years ago, legends and myths
lend enchantment to Raiatea's azure shoals. The green-carpeted mountains
covering the interior include the celebrated Mount Temehani, a sort
of Polynesian Mount Olympus.
With the rich
aroma of vanilla lingering heavily in the air, Taha'a offers a glimpse
of the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians. Here, the coral reef
surrounding the flower-shaped island is crowned with as many as 60 tiny,
idyllic motus perched above the north shore.
