The Islands of Tahiti, renowned for sparking romance, are ready for a long-term LGBTQ+ relationship.
The 118 islands make up the country of French Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean and span an area roughly the size of Europe. They share cultural characteristics with the people of the Polynesian Triangle–with Hawaii as the north point, and New Zealand and Easter Island to each side. And yet each island within French Polynesia has unique aspects including diverse topography, traditional dances, and seven different Austronesian languages spoken throughout the archipelagos, with French as the country’s official language.
Yes, the scenery is perfect for gay honeymoons. But it’s also a treasure trove for nature lovers, adventure seekers and cultural enthusiasts. You can swim in crystal clear lagoons, snorkel among 1100 species of fish, and hike through lush forests while spotting waterfalls.
And while enjoying the country’s beauty, you can learn about a historically revered third gender and celebrate Pride with a newly organizing LGBTQ+ community.
