TAHITI

Tahiti

Verdant mountains rising up from turquoise coral fringed lagoons, French chic and a touch of luxury all contribute to making The Islands of Tahiti irresistible. What we often simply refer to as Tahiti is actually five archipelagos known as French Polynesia, officially still part of France. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also includes the gorgeous islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. The iconic beauty of The Islands of Tahiti is well known. Coral reefs, abundant with marine life, protect impossibly blue shallow lagoons - perfect places for swimming, watersports or simply admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach. Make a dream come true and find yourself in an overwater bungalow, waking up in luxury and diving into warm turquoise waters straight from your own deck.

The Islands of Tahiti offer a unique and memorable experience - Enjoy!

Papeete

Tahiti is the largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia and flights to Tahiti arrive at its international airport, Faa’a. Papeete is the capital city and the commercial hub of French Polynesia. Papeete has a colourful market offering local food, hand-made crafts and souvenirs as well as a range of pearl shops, bars and restaurants. There is so much more to Tahiti than Papeete - majestic valleys, rich archaeological sites, striking volcanic peaks and a stunning turquoise lagoon.

Tahiti is an island of hidden treasures!

Moorea

A few minutes flight from Tahiti, or just 30 mins on the ferry, lies Tahiti’s sister island, Moorea. Cook’s and Oponohu Bays are surrounded by the lush green heights of striking mountain peaks and pineapple plantations.

The island’s lagoon waters are crystal-clear and home to the famous shark and ray feeding demonstrations.

Moorea is known as the activities island and offers a full range of water and land based activities from horse riding to quad bike riding, from snorkelling to jet skiing, from massage to hiking… it is all on offer in Moorea!

Bora Bora

Only a 50 minute flight from Tahiti you will find the stunning island of Bora Bora, undoubtedly the world’s most beautiful lagoon. It is known as the Romance Island and home of the famous overwater bungalows.

Your first glimpse of the amazing colours of the Bora Bora lagoon are on arrival at the Motu Mute airport which is located on a motu, a small sandy island. The majority of hotels and resorts are built on motus in the lagoon surrounding the main island, with Mount Otemanu peak as its centrepiece.

The array of blue colours in the lagoon is mesmerising and the waters are warm and clear.

Bora Bora truly is a paradise!
