Polynesia is distinguished not only by its paradisiacal landscapes, but also by its inestimably rich human and cultural heritage. The hospitality of the Polynesians, deeply rooted in their values, is one of the islands' greatest treasures.

Great meetings
Polynesia's richness lies in its ethnic diversity, thanks to an incredible history littered with numerous Asian, European and American migrations. Polynesians have much to be proud of in their wonderful islands, and they know how valuable they are. Polynesian culture is also deeply rooted in pre-European beliefs. Polynesian mythology bears many similarities to Western mythologies, with deities linked to creation and the elements of nature.

The Heiva I Tahiti
The Heiva, a major cultural event in Polynesia, embodies the most vibrant expression of local traditions. This annual celebration, which brings together dancers, singers and athletes, is much more than just a festival. It is a reflection of Polynesian identity, where artistic and sporting performances are imbued with pride and respect for ancestors. Every song, every dance movement, every sporting event is an ode to the legends and customs of these islands.

Another emblematic Polynesian treasure, the black pearl is the jewel that best symbolizes the archipelago's mystical beauty. Stemming from pristine lagoons, it fascinates with its iridescent reflections and mysterious aura. The handicrafts of Tahiti and Her Islands include basketry, sculpture, tattooing, art jewelry and much more. The artisans, most of whom rely on the sale of their products to support themselves and their families, hold a priceless treasure in their hands.
