My wife and I just returned from the island of Moorea. We stayed for a week at the Hilton Resort on one of the over the water bungalows. It was the trip of a lifetime. We swam with the humpback whales, black tipped reef sharks, rays and sea turtles.

By far some of my favorite tropical islands I've ever visited. Also Tahiti itself isn't that expensive. Definitely cheaper than Hawaii, and a restaurant meal is no more expensive than the Northeast or West Coast.

Having a non-stop flight from California is pretty nice too. There's also many Airbnbs to select from and the corals are relatively more healthier than Hawaii. Well, Hawaii is a complete coral dead zone for marine life now.

great video just as a cookisland/tahitian, slight changes could be the pronounciation of things such as Tahitian being (ta-hi-shian) or Papeete being (Pa-pe-e-te) and not papeet. but apart from just that, I really loved the video. Its so nice to see more indepth videos of our ancestral home.

I've been living in Paris for 4 years now and yes fruit (like groceries in general but fresh produce in particular) is quite expensive if you don't go to specific supermarkets like Lidl or Aldi. I expect oranges in Polynesia to cost 6/7 € per kilo, in that case better sticking to coconuts :)

The French annexed the Kingdom of Tahiti in 1880. Before Tahiti was under English domination for 1 century under the Pomare dynasty. Tahiti was an independent kingdom, we had four kings and one queen. We have to stop lying about our history. The number of inhabitants in Tahiti and its islands is 304,032 in 2021

Im actually quit dissapointed in terms of language Its not a Country its for now a french territory It speak 3/4 french not Fully Polynesian. You don’t see that much polynesian culture back. Its now more christian. If i see my favourite movie which is Moana (most beautifull polynesian movie you will see) Im quit dissapointed how most polynesian islands are in terms of culture. Im also quit surprised why Hawaii is not its own country now It was its own country and was a kingdom. Now its a Fricking State of the USA and is one of the largest and only place you can find Polynesian culture. So Hawaii PLEAAASSEE become independent again. It would be sooo cool You had to work as slave for the USA on sugar fields Now most of your country is bombed by the USA and you even have memorial from the colonised that you weren’t even involved. PLEASE BECOME INDEPENDENT

Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Niue, the Marquesas, the Tuamotus... and you talk to yourself about Hawai'i as a kind of aircraft carrier of Polynesian culture? Already these are the Polynesian cultures and your comment exudes ignorance, I am Tahitian through my mother and Hawaiian through my father and what you say about Hawaiian culture is completely false. A culture is not just entertainment, a show to entertain tourists, and Hawaii you have almost that. A culture that lives on a daily basis and not only during shows, otherwise the general aspect of Hawaii is very American. the fact is that the Hawaiian culture seems better preserved because it almost disappeared, much of the ancestral culture is lost and the natives of Hawaii fiercely preserve what is left of it. This is not the case in Samoa or Tonga where the original culture is almost intact, in French Polynesia there are different Polynesian cultures depending on the archipelagos, but the most popular being that of the Society Islands (Tahiti), the largest ancient Polynesian cultural ceremony has taken place every year in Tahiti and its islands since 1881 (Heiva i Tahiti). the fact of having seen Moana does not make you an expert in Polynesian cultures and the history of our peoples, you simply speak of Hawai'i because it is the most famous Polynesian culture after that of Aotearoa and Tahiti i guess.

Thank you for your interest and advice. We do a lot to keep our culture alive while being open to the rest of the world. What we don’t want is to become a tourist attraction park like Hawaii, or suffer a cultural genocide like in Australia or New Zealand. Come visit our islands, we will welcome you with pleasure to make you discover our Polynesian culture, very diverse and very lively.
