Destination
With five archipelagos spanning the width of Europe, each home to a distinctive culture and history, French Polynesia is known for its rich and diverse folklore. It is in the western portion of the Society Islands, known as the Leeward Islands, that travelers find the shimmering pearl of the Pacific: Bora Bora. French Polynesia’s main island of Tahiti is just eight hours from Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Bora Bora is an additional 50-minute flight, making your dream destination an easily accessible reality.
