Geographically speaking, Polynesian is the islands encompassed with the triangle of Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand. The major groups include the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu.

Each island boasts its own languages, cultures and religions and all exhibit a welcoming, laid-back ambience. Lounge on white-, pink- and black-sand beaches.

Meet the Austral Islands residents and watch basket weavers at work, taking one home as a souvenir. Mythical and idyllic, Polynesia is where vacation dreams come true.
