The Marquesas
The Marquesas lie shrouded in mystery, with their
mist-laden mountains and untouched wilderness.

Here, wild stallions run free on Ua Huka. Fatu Hiva


boasts only one road. And Paul Gauguin himself
went to his eternal rest on Hiva Oa, buried beneath
a statue of a Polynesian goddess.
The Tuamotus
These coral atolls boast some of the most
renowned snorkeling and diving on earth. Make
anchor at Rangiroa, whose sheltered lagoon is
home to dolphins, rays, and myriad colorful
tropical fish. Nearby Fakarava is home to black-
sand beaches, a black pearl farm, and a variety
of rare birds and plants.
