Spotlight on Tahiti and Her Islands

Coral-filled lagoons, bays surrounded by green mountains, and secluded beaches await visitors to Tahiti and her islands. These South Sea isles appeal to honeymooners, romantics, adventurers, and vacationers in search of a welcoming, relaxed lifestyle. You can snorkel or swim with manta rays, experience the thrill of parasailing, check out the local markets for original art and jewelry, and enjoy fine dining on all of the islands. There are 118 islands of Tahiti. Take a look below for a brief description of three of the most popular ones.
Tahiti
Encircled by black sand beaches and steep majestic peaks, Tahiti is the largest and most diverse island in French Polynesia. Papeete is the capital and is known for its colorful public market, world-class boutiques and spas, music and dancing. Visit the Gaugin Museum, discover the tearooms, and shop for jewelry featuring the black pearl, the legendary gem of the South Pacific.

Moorea
Moorea soars majestically out of the ocean, and a wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the island�s vertical mountains where waterfalls tumble down fern-covered cliffs. You�ll see pastel-painted houses, gardens of hibiscus, and exotic birds. ATV tours, whale watching, and hiking are popular pursuits on the �Magical Island� of Moorea.

Bora Bora
With its famous emerald-hued lagoon, overwater bungalows, and secluded islets that provide the perfect spot to picnic and snorkel, Bora Bora appeals to romantics from around the world. This island paradise boasts perfect white-sand beaches and valleys where tropical flowers are always in bloom.
