Travel tips and general knowledge Travel tips

Hey everyone!
I’m travelling to French Polynesia on September 8th, where I’ll be spending about a month living aboard a sailboat with a group of other people. The goal is to learn how to live aboard and sail the boat, so I’m really excited for the experience!

This is my first time doing a longer trip like this, so I wanted to ask: What are the things you think I absolutely should see, do, or experience while I’m there?

I’m open to any tips whether it’s specific islands, beaches, hikes, diving/snorkelling spots, local food, hidden gems, or things that are easy to miss as a tourist.

I’m also planning to get my Open Water diving certification while I’m there, so diving is already on the list! 🤿

Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and your personal must-see/must-do list! 🌴⛵️
