Tahiti
As the largest of 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia, Tahiti is composed of two volcanic mountain ranges that appear in the shape of a 'turtle’. Whilst the name Tahiti may conjure up dreamy images of idyllic islands floating in azure lagoons fringed by palm trees and white sandy beaches, the Island is not actually so far removed from the modern world as many of the other islands in French Polynesia.
