There are over 300 islands in the entire archipelago of Tahiti. The largest island is Moorea, which has a population of around 10,000 people and covers an area of just over 762 square miles (1,970 square kilometers).
The other islands include Bora Bora and Huahine—both known for their gorgeous beaches—and Gambier Island (home to one of New Zealand’s most famous national parks), Raiatea or Raiatea Primitive Reserve (the oldest national park on French Polynesia) …

In the southwest, there’s a beautiful island called Moorea. This is where you’ll find most of the hotels and tourist attractions. Moorea is also the largest of all the main islands, with an area of about 80 km2 (31 sq mi). It’s located about 20 km (12 mi) away from Tahiti Nui and was named after Henri de Tonti d’Hautefort, who made two voyages there in 1767 and 1768.
Moorea has many beaches on its west coast that have white sand and turquoise water, but they’re not as popular among tourists because they’re expensive to get to compared to those around other parts of Tahiti Nui or Bora Bora.
Moorea is home to some of the highest mountains in French Polynesia.
Moorea is home to some of the highest mountains in French Polynesia. The Marquesas Islands are a group of volcanic islands just off the coast, with an average elevation above sea level that’s about 2,000 feet (600 meters). They’re also famous for their beautiful beaches and lush forests.
Mount Teahupoo is an active volcano on Moorea that stands 964 meters (3,150 feet) tall. It’s considered one of the world’s most towering active volcanoes because it has remained active since 1855—the longest-known continuous activity on any volcanic island volcano!
Hawaiki is the name for all of Polynesia, which includes Tahiti.
Tahiti is a Polynesian country and part of the Kingdom of Tonga. The islands in this region are known as Polynesia, which refers to their shared culture, language, and history.
Hawaiians are an ethnic group native to Hawaii that descends from voyagers who migrated there long ago from Southeast Asia by way of Polynesia. Tahitians are another ethnic group who live on the island of Tahiti; they share many cultural similarities with Hawaiians but have also inherited many traditions from their ancestors who came from mainland Polynesia centuries ago.
A beautiful bay on Moorea called Huahine contains some of the best snorkeling in French Polynesia.
A beautiful bay on Moorea called Huahine contains some of the best snorkeling in French Polynesia. Huahine is a popular tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why: the water is crystal clear, coral reefs stretch out into the distance, and you can swim right up to them if you’re brave enough! The water temperature here ranges from 83 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius) during winter months to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 Celsius) during summer months, so be prepared for all kinds of weather conditions when visiting this island paradise.
There are several restaurants on Moorea where you can enjoy delicious French food while taking in views from your table or sitting at one of their outdoor terraces under umbrellas made out of palm fronds—or even atop them!
The native peoples you’ll see on Tahiti are Micronesians.
If you’re considering visiting Tahiti, it’s essential to know that the people there are Micronesians. “Micronesia” refers to the group of islands in the Pacific Ocean where these people live.
Micronesian languages are related and share many words with Polynesian languages (the languages spoken in Hawaii). They also have some similarities with Hawaiian and Maori (the language of New Zealand) as well as Indonesian and Malay (the language spoken by ethnic Chinese).
Tahiti was essential in ancient Polynesian history, but it only had a little effect once European explorers started coming by the sea in the 1500s.
