French Polynesia might not be a familiar name to many people, but this quaint paradise has a lot to offer. The striking scenery seems endless, and the view alone is too entertaining, especially for the lover of nature. It has plenty of water activities and fun-filled nature activities such as hiking and cliff jumping. However, you should be wary as there are some creepy crawlers. Although most of them are not harmful to humans, their bite can be painful and would cause mild inflammation.
