Experiencing this culture gives visitors a real opportunity to step into a completely different world.
Welcome to these islands which are as precious and fragile as they are sparsely distributed within the vastness of the South Pacific. Welcome to the invisible continent that is the Polynesian triangle”. (Extract from the Yellow Flag Guide website).
