The capital city of French Polynesia, Papeetee – which is located on the iconic island of Tahiti – is a bustling, yet picturesque, port known for its stunningly clear waters, beautiful natural scenery, and interesting attractions. Despite being a rather small island, every type of traveller will find something they can enjoy here; Papeetee has beaches for sun lounging and swimming, bustling marketplaces for culture vultures who want to soak up the atmosphere of somewhere new, museums to explore if you’re someone interested in the history of this unique culture. The Gardens of Paofai and Bougainville Park also make for excellent places to stroll, with more adventurous hiking routes available further inland. Fort de la Fachoda, which is about a 20-minute drive from central Papeete, is a particular highlight of the area; home to an impressive waterfall, this is a beautiful spot to see more of the vibrant rainforests and intriguing ruins that litter this inland area. Although, really, however you decide to spend your time in Papeete, you’re in for a fantastic shore experience.

Just northwest of Tahiti, Moorea Island is an idyllic paradise where every type of traveller will find something they enjoy – be that lounging in the sunshine, exploring the vibrant rainforests, or tucking into some flavourful local food. Among the most strikingly beautiful islands in French Polynesia, this warm and welcoming island boasts an interesting topography. Not only will you have the chance to admire eight mountain peaks, something that gives Moorea a distinctly rugged appearance from afar, but the island is also home to two symmetrical bays. These bays make this destination the perfect place to enjoy some watersports; although, you’ll also find that the laid-back atmosphere here makes it the ideal place to lounge about in the sunshine. Heading further inland, if you’re looking for views, you’ll find several hiking routes worth taking advantage of. With numerous vantage points, you’ll never be too far away from a jaw-dropping view of the island. From above, the island itself loosely resembles a heart, and you’ll have a hard time not falling in love with Moorea when you spend some time here.

Honolulu is famous not only for laid-back Hawaiian style and gorgeous beaches, but also as the location of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which visitors can learn about at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. To explore the wilderness of Honolulu, the grand Iolani Palace and Nuʻuanu Pali mountain are also well worth a visit, while a Helicopter tour is a must for unrivalled views of land and sea.

The island of Kona has a rich history, with Captain James Cook first setting foot there in 1778 (and eventually meeting a grizzly end). As well as its fascinating history, Kona has plenty of breath-taking landscapes to be discovered including Puuhonua o Honaunau National Park. Because of the idyllic location, Kona is also perfect for snorkelling amongst vibrant marine life including dolphins and manta ray.

Located on the ‘big island’ of Hawaii itself, Hilo is a typical Hawaiian town closed to the Wailuku State National Park, famous for the rainbow falls due to the shimmering colours cast by the spray reflecting the gorgeous light of the sun above. The distinctive ‘boiling pot’ lava pools bubbling away are also in the vicinity, along with Kilauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes
