French Polynesia

In this episode of The Vacay, we head to the breathtaking islands of French Polynesia with travel expert Jacinta Blundell from Helloworld Travel. Often the first island that comes to mind, Tahiti is the largest in the Society Islands and the perfect starting point for a tropical escape. Jacinta paints a vivid picture of overwater bungalows, crystal-clear lagoons, and the stunning natural beauty of the islands. We chat about the best ways to get around—whether it’s a luxury small-ship cruise or island-hopping by ferry—and where to stay, from homestays to iconic resorts. You’ll also hear tips on respecting local traditions, understanding the spirit of mana, and experiencing the heartbeat of Polynesian culture. From sunset views, to diving into the freshest seafood and tropical fruits, this episode is your ticket to paradise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
