Fifteen islands stretching between the 9th and 23rd parallels south. |

The eastern two-thirds of these islands are part of Polynesia. Poor and remote, these islands are the first to see the sunrise on a daily basis. |
| French Polynesia
Includes three islands claiming to be the most beautiful islands in the world: Bora Bora, Tahiti and Moorea, but also Mururoa where French nuclear tests took place until 1996. |
| Samoa
Two main volcanic islands, lush vegetation, traditional culture and superb Fale or huts open on the sides. |
| Tonga
A kingdom nicknamed Friends Islands, but where the clash of traditional and modern cultures is felt. |
| Tuvalu
One of the least populated countries in the world. |
|
The New Zealand, although often considered part of Polynesia, both historically and culturally, is covered in a separate article due to its size.
