  • Cruising French Polynesia with Children
    Cruising French Polynesia with children Experience Report - July 2018 - www.sy-moya.de Summary We, a family of four, visited French Polynesia including the Marquesean Islands, the Tuamotus and the Society Islands within 2.5 month from May to July 2018 after crossing the Pacific Ocean from Panama. For us French Polynesia is one of the most fascinating places we have been so far. The islands are absolutely stunning, many reefs are pristine with an abundance of wildlife, the culture is rich and the people we encountered as warm and open hearted. Especially, the Tuamotus are not easy to navigate and we experienced some nautical challenges as we entered through the passes into the lagoon, anchored inside the atolls and experienced pacific weather patterns. All of them we managed by thorough planning and were well worth the efforts. FRENCH POLYNESIA WWW.SY-MOYA.DE !1 Our personal top 10 Must Do´s of French Polynesia are: • Marquesas (Nuku Hiva): Visit the beautiful lagoon of Anaho and enjoy the stunning views hiking to the neighboring bay of Hatiheu • Marquesas (Tahuata): Explore the unspoiled villages of Tahuata, get in touch with the locals and participate at one of their religious festivals with beautiful singing • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Walk to the waterfalls and the chocolate farm up in the mountains • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Enjoy a delicious Polynesian dinner at Ti Pierro • Tuamotus (Raroia): Snorkel one of the reeflets inside the lagoon, with it´s clear water and the multi-colored untouched coral • Tuamotus (Tahanea): Enjoy the beauty and serenity of the pristine beaches and shallow waters • Tuamotus (Fakarava): Drift snorkel the Fakarava south pass, swim with sharks and watch an abundance of reef fish • Society Islands (Bora Bora): Watch traditional dancing and singing at the Heiva festival • Society Islands (Maupiti): Climb the peak on the main island and enjoy the gorgeous views.

  • View Meeting and Event Brochure
    WELCOME TO CONRAD BORA BORA NUI NEVER JUST STAY. STAY INSPIRED MAEVA French Polynesia is a country splintered into 118 islands, scattered in the middle of the world’s largest ocean. Each of these islands is attached to its identity, and each has its own tales and its own legends. This diversity gives French Polynesia its unique character, and a particular strength as all these stories and legends meet to form the ma’ohi culture. A majestic volcanic island, just like a queen surrounded, Bora Bora has the most extraordinary lagoon in the world. Bora Bora used to be called Vavau. The first European to sight the island was Dutchman Jakob Roggeveen in 1722. Captain Cook landed there in 1769 and named it Bora Bora on nautical charts. In 1847, French king Louis-Philippe recognized the Leewards Islands as independent, including Bora Bora ruled by king Tapoa II, former husband of Pomare IV, queen of Tahiti. Bora Bora only became a French territory in 1898. The island belongs to a group of volcanic islands that arose from a hot spot. The volcano, which was active a little over three million years ago, collapsed and was subjected to strong erosion. Motu To’opua, which peaks at 148 meters (485 ft.), is the only remaining fragment of the southeast rim of the crater. The pearl of the pacific is world-famous for its glinting turquoise lagoon, dazzlingly white sandy stretches of beach and luxurious resorts. With such a dreamlike setting, this magical island is, unsurprisingly, a great spot to discover. Bora Bora is one of the world’s top resort destinations.
