From marine adventures to unrivalled accommodation and gastronomic delights, here are five more reasons why Tahiti should be on your travel bucket list.
1 AWE-INSPIRING SCENERY
Tahiti encompasses a tapestry of islands, each offering its own unique charm. The volcanic mountains and lush rainforests of Tahiti and Moorea are a nature lover’s dream. Tikehau, part of the flat Tuamotu islands, boasts a mesmerizing pink-sand atoll encircling a vast lagoon. And then there’s Bora Bora, with its famous lagoon and the dramatic Mount Otemanu at its centre. These are just glimpses of the incredible diversity you’ll encounter in French Polynesia. Whether you’re capturing awe-inspiring vistas from the window of your plane or embarking on hikes to hidden waterfalls, the scenery in Tahiti is sure to leave you breathless.
2 IMMERSIVE MARINE ADVENTURES
While simply admiring the beauty of Tahiti’s marine life is a worthy pursuit, diving deeper into its underwater wonders is an experience like no other. Embark on boat trips that take you to crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life. Swim alongside graceful rays, encounter friendly sharks (reef sharks are harmless), and marvel at the kaleidoscope of tropical fish. Snorkelling and diving excursions are available on almost every island, offering you the chance to explore the vibrant coral reefs that surround these picturesque isles. For the more adventurous, jet skiing allows you to glide through the brilliant shades of blue, evoking a profound sense of freedom.
3 ACCOMMODATION FOR ALL
When it comes to accommodation, Tahiti offers an array of options to suit every preference and budget. From luxurious overwater bungalows with private plunge pools overlooking the lagoon to charming family-run pensions that provide an authentic local experience, there is something for everyone. Thanks to partnerships with various properties in French Polynesia, we can curate the perfect holiday that aligns with your desires. If you’re seeking a unique adventure, consider the Aranui 5 cruise, immersing you in French-Polynesian culture as you traverse the Marquesas Islands. Alternatively, small ship sailing with Windstar Cruises or Paul Gauguin Cruises offers a more intimate and personalized voyage through these idyllic waters.
4 A GASTRONOMIC JOURNEY
As a French Overseas Territory, Tahiti boasts a delectable culinary scene that fuses tropical ingredients with classic French techniques. Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Begin your day with freshly baked pastries, French bread, or a continental dish, or savour the local specialty of Poisson cru, raw tuna marinated in lime juice, coconut milk, and onions. Indulge in mahi-mahi cooked in a vanilla cream sauce or indulge in the abundance of fresh fruit. The resorts and hotels in Tahiti offer exceptional on-site restaurants, but for a more authentic experience, head to the bustling port of Papeete in the evening. Join the locals as they gather around food trucks, known as roulottes, to savour a variety of culinary delights, including Poisson cru, crepes, and even Chinese cuisine. The convivial ambiance and diverse flavours make this a must visit spot for food enthusiasts.
5 CULTURAL RICHNESS
Beyond its natural beauty, Tahiti is steeped in cultural richness and history. Embrace the warm hospitality of the Tahitian people and immerse yourself in their vibrant traditions. Explore local markets, where you’ll find exquisite handicrafts, tropical fruits, and colourful pareos. Witness mesmerizing traditional dances and listen to the enchanting melodies of ukuleles. Delve into the legacy of artists like Paul Gauguin, who found inspiration in these idyllic islands.
From visiting ancient maraes (sacred sites) to engaging with local communities, Tahiti offers a unique cultural experience that will leave a lasting imprint on your journey.
In conclusion, Tahiti continues to captivate travellers with its irresistible allure. From its awe-inspiring and diverse scenery to immersive marine adventures, unrivalled accommodation, gastronomic delights, and cultural richness, this French Polynesian paradise promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
