Is French Polynesia one of those trips that’s better planned with help or DIY?

Hey everyone,

My husband and I are finally planning a trip to French Polynesia after postponing it for years (our honeymoon got cancelled because of Covid… so this one feels kind of special ).

The more we look into it, the more overwhelming it gets: choosing islands, figuring out interisland flights, deciding between guesthouses vs hotels, best time for diving… it feels like a lot to think anout.

Part of me wants to plan everything ourselves, but another part is wondering if this is one of those trips where getting some help (like going through an agency) actually makes a big difference.

For those who’ve been:

1. did you plan everything on your own or go through an agency?

2. was it worth it?

3. any regrets or things you d do differently?

Would love to hear real experiences before we decide how to approach it. Thank you all!!
