The Society Islands, considered "Paradise on Earth" by savvy travelers, were explored by Captain James Cook in 1769, naming them after England's Royal Society - and Royal islands they certainly are.
They are divided into the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands, two clusters of volcanic and coral islands lying in a chain. Of these, the most recognizable names are the legendary islands of Bora Bora, Moorea and Tahiti.
This island group boasts the largest variety of resorts & activities, as well as the largest, most populous islands in all of French Polynesia. |
