Ask almost anyone to choose their ideal tropical island paradise and chances are Tahiti will be near the top of the list, if not Number One. Verdant mountains rising up from limpid, turquoise, coral-fringed lagoons, French chic and a touch of luxury all contribute to making Tahiti irresistible. Of course, what we often simply call Tahiti is really five archipelagos known as French Polynesia. Officially still part of France, these islands have a distinctly Gallic flavour, perhaps best savoured through authentic and delectable French cuisine. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also include the drop dead gorgeous islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. Each of these islands has a rugged volcanic heart abounding in forests, ferns and waterfalls. It is where the land meets the sea however that creates the real magic of Tahiti and her sister islands. Coral reefs, alive with marine life, protect shallow, impossibly blue lagoons – perfect places for swimming, watersports or simply admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach. French Polynesia is also synonymous with the dreamy concept of the overwater bungalow. Imagine being able to wake up in luxury and then go swimming straight from one’s own deck. You might even have breakfast delivered by canoe. If you want to experience life beyond an exotic resort, the island of Huahine near Bora Bora has more of a laidback cruisey atmosphere. Feeling adventurous? The more far-flung archipelago of Tuamotu will give you plenty of Robinson Crusoe moments.
Tahiti Highlights Le Truck - Hop aboard a ‘Le Truck’ the local traditional Polynesian transportation and enjoy the views along the way. Shop at Le Marché in Papeete - Discover the true heart of Papeete at the 153 year old public market called Le Marché. Shop from hundreds of stands filled with Tahitian-made crafts, oils, vanilla, fruits, and flowers. Located two blocks from the waterfront across from the cruise dock, the market is the perfect place to find everything imaginable from all the islands. Those visitors in Tahiti on the weekends should plan a visit on Sunday mornings when the market is the most colorful and lively. Swimming with the dolphins on Moorea - Encounters with the ocean’s friendliest residents are waiting at Moorea Dolphin Centre at the InterContinental Resort Moorea. Here, adults swim side by side with dolphins, while children wade in the waters with them. Learn dolphin training techniques, and participate in the daily care of these amazing animals. Snorkelling Heaven - Because of the lack of strong currents, the shallow, warm waters around Moorea are ideal for year-round snorkelling. All ages and skills can enjoy dozens of perfect snorkelling spots close to the resorts and around the island. Breakfast by canoe on Bora Bora - Start each day with an unforgettable breakfast brought to the private balcony of your overwater bungalow by outrigger canoe. Often bedecked in flowers, the canoe carries Polynesian staff serving fresh fruits, pastries, and juices while the surrounding waters welcome the South Pacific sunrise. Canoe breakfasts are also available at many of the resorts throughout all the islands and can be reserved before you travel by your travel specialist or scheduled with the concierge on your arrival.
