Raiatea, often referred to as the “Sacred Island,” is a gem of French Polynesia. Located in the Society Islands, Raiatea is known as the spiritual heart of Polynesia, home to Marae Taputapuātea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient site, once a central hub for Polynesian voyaging and religious ceremonies, is a must-visit for those looking to connect with the island’s deep cultural roots.

Raiatea is the only island in French Polynesia with a navigable river, the Faaroa River, where visitors can take guided kayak or boat tours surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. For adventurers, Mount Temehani offers hiking trails and a chance to see the Tiare Apetahi, a rare flower that grows only on this island and has become a symbol of Raiatea’s uniqueness.

Raiatea is also known for its lagoon, shared with its neighboring island, Taha’a. The lagoon provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving.

Local flavors play a big part in Raiatea’s charm. Visitors can savor dishes made with fresh fish, tropical fruits, and local vanilla, often grown on neighboring Taha’a, known as the “Vanilla Island.”
