Having not been to Hawaii or French Polynesia before our expectations were high. They were all beautifully lush green islands surrounded by what we'd hoped to be perfect water to swim and snorkel in so what did we find...
Maui, Lahaina
Kona
Honolulu & Waikiki Beach
French Polynesia
We were having a great time in the Polynesian islands but it wasn't quite what we expected in Tahiti. It appears that there are many fantastic complexes around but as we found out that they own most of the beach areas so it is difficult to do anything from the cruise port on your own.
