The Society Islands in the South Pacific are known for clear turquoise waters surrounded by motus. A motu is a reef islet formed by broken coral and sand surrounding an atoll. Snorkeling and diving amongst the coral and tropical fish, sailing, touring vanilla plantations and fresh pearl farms are popular things to do here in its laid back tropical atmosphere. Tahaʻa, Bora Bora, Raiatea, and Huahine hold an international Polynesian canoe competition.
