  • 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.

  • COPLARE on Waste in Oceania
    COPLARE on Waste in Oceania Waste in Oceania. Oceania? My atlas does not know any Oceania and in the German geography classes we did not learn about this term during our school days. Who else but honeymooners might be interested in the South Sea Islands? Do they have any relevance for the global structure? Oceania in the strictest sense are the islands lying between the west coast of the United States and Australia south of the equator: the Easter Island and Pitcairn, the Marquesas, Tuamotus, the Society, Gambier and the Austral Islands, the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia as well as the Solomon Islands. Strictly speaking, the islands of Micronesia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand also belong to Oceania but we will ignore them for now in order to make it easier for us. Between Panama and Sydney there are 14.000 km of water where several thousand islands are spread. For the purpose of comparison: Frankfurt to Bangkok means only about 9.000 km. and within the national territory of French Polynesia, the island Nuku Hiva (Marquesas) is e.g. 1.900 km away from the island Tubuai (Austral Islands). Munich is as far away from Istanbul as Nuku Hiva from Tubuai. The distances between the islands are enormous and most of the islands are tiny. Many of them have only a few hundred inhabitants. In order to get a clearer idea, just look at the enclosed table and keep in mind that this table only maps the most densely populated islands. A total of 17.000 people e.g.
