Tahiti
French Polynesia stirs up a state of romance, adventure and pure escape. With over 118 islands spread over five archipelagos, French Polynesia evokes a sense of mystery due to its remote location in the South Pacific.
The main island of Tahiti is the gateway to French Polynesia. The best markets in the South Pacific are in Papeete, where everything from local fish and fruit as well as traditional arts and handicrafts can be found. Also in Papeete are chic boutiques and a wide selection of products including black pearl jewellery, woven handbags and traditional pareos painted in bright colours. For the more adventurous there is so much on offer. Scuba dive or snorkel at one of the many dive sites, cruise around the harbour, discover the lagoon by kayak or try your hand at surfing. Discover the Papenoo Valley by quad bike, take a horseback ride or paddle in a Polynesian style outrigger canoe.
The picturesque island of Moorea is set on a crystal clear lagoon with lush green mountains towering overhead. There are many activities to try on the lagoon including water skiing, jet skiing and parasailing. Explore the waterfalls, valleys and the Opunou and Cook Bays or witness the impressive fish and ray feeding demonstrations.
The ‘Pearl of the Pacific’, Bora Bora has one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons. Dive the clear, warm water to witness a large array of multi-coloured fish, manta rays, sharks and wrasses. It’s the perfect island for romance. Enjoy your own private paradise by staying in a unique overwater bungalow. Venture outside and relax on the white sandy beaches or on a small island on the outer reef.
