Do You Dream?

It's no bore.

This little island is a happy accident of volcanic nature. It literally sprang up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and still shows off its extinct volcano roots with two peaks: Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu. Surrounded by a lagoon and its own barrier reef, the French Polynesia Island is a great destination for water lovers. Be on the lookout for sharks and rays. You don't get to see those everyday, unless of course you visit our #13 AbsoluteVisit.
