The Society Islands are the most populated archipelago of French Polynesia.
[edit] Regions
- Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful islands in the Society group. A popular destination but very pricey. Bora Bora is known for the beauty of its lagoon, the most beautiful in the group.The best known resorts are the Four Seasons and Intercontinental Thalasso. The best rooms are the Bungalows with lagoon view.
- Tahiti is the main island where is located the airport (Papeete). The place is not as interesting as you can think and, for the most of the tourists, serves as break point after a long journey. From here you can reach all the other minors islands by ferry or by air.
- Moorea is one of the beautiful islands in the Societies. It's a "high island", which means it's mountainous, as are most of this group. It's easily accessible from Tahiti by ferry.
- Raiatea and Taha'a are a pair of islands. Taha'a has a beautiful lagoon with lots of motus, and a couple of high-end resorts. Raiatea is more known by yachters. It is considered the cradle of Polynesian civilization, and contains an important archaeological site, the Taputapuatea marae.
