Tahiti-French Polynesia
The early European explorers who visited Tahiti and French Polynesia went home with tales of heaven on earth and it is all too easy to see why. Crystal Blue waters, white sands, friendly locals, and amazing scenery are never far away for those who choose to weigh anchor in this part of the world. Tahiti has become one of the most iconic island paradises on earth for good reason. Whether visiting the volcanic peaks, lazing on the beach, indulging in a Tamaaraa feast around an open fire, or take a drop on one of the renowned surf breaks, the island is world-class. Bora Bora also easily lives up to the hype. Take a bike for a cruise around the island, go for a dive with the incredible marine life, sip on a mai tai while taking in the romantic views, or dance the night away at the Yacht Club. Sail across to Taha’a for a snorkel over the amazing reef, or pop by Huahine to understand why it earnt the nickname ‘the Garden of Eden’. The options are many, but with islands this incredible you can’t go wrong.
