2. Tahiti, French Polynesia

Formed from volcanic activity and being the largest island of the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia, Tahiti offers a lot of things for those who seek adventure. Its beautiful waterfalls and lush rainforest are some of the best things to explore when you’re not relaxing in pools at luxury hotels.

You can also discover Tahiti’s distinctive history at the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands, especially its Polynesian heritage. The museum is actually divided into different sections which include anthropology, habitations and artifacts, social and religious life and, of course, general history.
