The #lagoon tour in #BoraBora was the best in French #Polynesia. We learned how to weave hats from #coconut leaves, saw fantastic spots to #swim and #snorkel with lots of #sharks , #stingrays and #colorful #fish and #corals . https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Bora-Bora-Snorkeling/#lagoon

A 4WD tour through the rugged interior of #Tahiti in French #Polynesia with its #rainforests is a wonderful experience. We saw more than 100 #waterfalls after it had rained the day before. Did you do this tour? https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Tahiti/#papenoo

The Polynesian “Long Pause” lasted 1,700 years. Then, around 900 CE, a mega-drought hit Samoa and Tonga just as rain increased eastward. New sediment data suggests thirsty islands, not myth, sent voyagers into the Pacific. #Archaeology #Polynesia #Paleoclimate https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-long-pause-that-ended-in-drought

50 Years Ago Today, Hōkūleʻa Makes Landfall In Papeʻete, Tahiti. - Hōkūleʻa
50 years ago today, Hōkūleʻa’s maiden voyage to Tahiti ended with a greeting by an estimated 17,000 people at Papeʻete. Guided by Master Navigator Mau Piailug of Satawal, Micronesia, this was the first voyage of a Polynesian long-distance deep-sea voyaging canoe in 600 years. What began as a bold vision to prove the voyaging achievements of our ancestors became a defining moment for Hawaiʻi and all of Polynesia.

How coral buildings are helping archaeologists date colonial-era sites in French Polynesia
