Real Honeymoon Stories: Best of French Polynesia

Posted by Adam Warner

We love hearing from TJ couples and their incredible honeymoon experiences. This week we've put together a few of our favorites from French Polynesia, including the exotic locales of Bora Bora and Moorea. Hopefully these wonderful stories will provide a little inspiration in planning your own getaway. Enjoy!

Sarah & Christopher

"Deciding on the French Polynesian Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora for our destination was a choice we did not regret," Sarah said. "We would highly recommend it as a honeymoon destination to those who are just beginning their lives of travel and adventure!"

Rhea & Michael

Favorite moments include jumping into the ocean from their own overwater bungalow, enjoying a three-course dinner on their private patio, and getting tattoos from a genuine Polynesian tattoo artist.

"Before our honeymoon, I had never even heard of Moorea," Rhea said. "It turned out to be the best suggestion ever! I would definitely recommend Moorea for the 'chill by the beach type of traveler.'"

Nicole & Andy

Highlights include 4x4 safari excursions, circling the island via scooter, and experiencing jaw-dropping aerial views while parasailing.

"Andy and I were grounded in life," Nicole said. "Each of us owned our own homes prior to living together and had many of the housewares that newly engaged couples typically needed. And while there were a few household items that we registered for at the local department store, we wanted our guests to be a part of our honeymoon journey."
