“In French Polynesia, the atolls of the Tuamotu form a very special archipelago. This string of 77 atolls spread’s out over 1500 km from North to South and 500 km from East to West. These outstanding landscapes of isolated islets surrounded by emerald and jade lagoons, will ravish the visitor.”

“In an overcrowded, overdeveloped and overcomplicated world, Tahiti and her islands offer a welcomed trip back. Back to a time of simple, natural beauty. Where no structure is taller than a palm tree. And a deserted beach is the norm, not the exception. Come to a place time has forgotten. Come to Tahiti and her islands.”

One of my top recommendations for the South Pacific are cruises on the intimate and luxurious Paul Gauguin to Tahiti’s Society Islands, Tuamotus Atolls and Marquesas as well as special voyages to the Cook Islands.

The remote Marquesas Islands are a world apart from the Society Islands. They are separate and unique. The landscape itself is fiercely rugged with high mountains, hidden waterfalls,  and jungle-like forests.  Notice how these qualities have influenced the Marquesan dance elements and costumes.

Now, another variation on male dance. These dances are all based on standard polynesian drum rhythms. Listen carefully. Can you differentiate between them? Go ahead, tap your foot along with the beat! Also, notice the costume change.

Tahiti: a beautiful land with beautiful people. Note the more forceful dance style of Tahitian male dancers compared to the softer more sensual movments of the female dancers. Also notice the elaborate body art visible on some of the men. Local women tend to have designs placed a little more discreetly.
