WHO IS BEHIND MYLITTLEPOLYNESIA?

My name is Clément, founder of MyLittlePolynesia. What you read here is the result of two years of life in French Polynesia, islands explored, people met, and insider tips shared with complete honesty, alongside the hundreds of travelers we’ve guided toward the trip of their lifetime.

French Polynesia is vast : 118 islands, 5 archipelagos, landscapes that shift completely from one atoll to a volcanic island. We love discovering it in every form on the water, under the water, through the mountains, and from the air. Above all, we love meeting the people, understanding their culture and way of life, with the deepest respect for those who welcome us.

This is the French Polynesia we try to share with you and with the 150,000 passionate followers who join us on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

BEFORE YOU GO, DISCOVER FRENCH POLYNESIA THROUGH OUR VIDEOS

For us, everything starts with the image. We’re passionate about video : drone, underwater diving, nature — and that’s often how people first find us on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.

We post on Instagram what we test : the must-see beaches, hikes, sunsets, lagoon excursions, restaurants, overwater bungalows and festivals like the Heiva, with its traditional Polynesian dances and chants. Some experiences are shared by local providers, others we explore out of pure passion,  either way, we only share what’s truly worth it.

On YouTube, we publish island-by-island videos to help you visualize what’s waiting for you and make your choice, because choosing among all these islands is no easy task. And often, a video says so much more than words.

If you haven’t found us yet, we invite you to come and see,  the true beauty of French Polynesia is best experienced through images, before you experience it for real.
