Raiatea, French Polynesia, Pacific ocean,
Raiatea, is the second largest of the Society Islands, after Tahiti, in French Polynesia. The island is widely regarded as the 'centre' of the eastern islands in ancient Polynesia and it is likely that the organised migrations to Hawaii, New Zealand and other parts of East Polynesia started at Ra'iatea. A traditional name for the island is believed to be Havai'i.
Situated on the south east coast is the historical Taputapuatea marae which was established by 1000AD.
Raiatea vormt samen met het eiland Tahaa een atol gelegen in de Stille Oceaan. Het eiland behoort samen met acht andere eilanden tot de Benedenwindse Eilanden van Frans-Polynesië. Het eiland bestaat uit een uitgedoofde vulkaan en een door een rif omgeven lagune. In het jaar 2002 telde het eiland 11.133 inwoners. De belangrijkste plaats is Uturoa.

I traveled to French Polynesia on assignment for Nikon and AFAR Magazine, looking to capture the essential islander experience. This is what I brought back from my travels.
Special thanks to Top Dive for outfitting my incredible oceanic excursions.
