The island of Hiva Oa, Marquesas, French Polynesia! The locals will take you on a 4x4 tour of their island to "La Cascade," a beautiful waterfall with a clear pool to swim in -- but first you have to live through the Jeep tour, and hike 30 minutes through the steamy jungle with its hungry mosquitos!
The best way to visit the remote Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, is to take a 14 day cruise on "The Aranui." This fun half passenger, half cargo ship delivers goods to all the little islands out there and you really get to live the local culture both on board and on land. Best adventure cruise I ever did. Just Google Aranui 5 French Polynesia
