Raiatea
Raiatea, first named Havait after the homeland of the ancient Polynesians, is the most sacred island in the south Pacific.
As the center of religion and culture around 1,000 years ago, legends and myths lend enchantment to Raiatea's azure shoals. The green-carpeted mountains covering the interior include the celebrated Mount Temehani, a sort of Polynesian Mount Olympus.
