With 118 islands and atolls spread over the size of Europe, this is an island lover’s paradise. French Polynesia offers backpackers thrilling hikes, a brush up with the most exotic culture on the planet and picture-perfect lagoons. You can scale Tahiti’s emerald peaks, feed stingrays in the lagoon of Moorea, swim with stingrays and find your own beach for the day in Maupiti and awe at the power of nature in the Marquesas Islands.
