Most of us aren't poets, and even if we were, nothing can prepare you for the first time you visit these mythical South Sea islands. Tahiti & Moorea
Come discover a world of intoxicating aromas, flower-strewn valleys, deserted stretches of white sand beaches, over water bungalows, isolated motus (small islands) sapphire lagoons, and a palette of colors so vibrant only a painter like Gauguin could come close to capturing them. Watch mere words melt away in the smiles of the friendly Tahitian people, who are happy to share their world with you. Come refresh yourself in this unhurried Garden of Eden; the type of magical place that perhaps you thought had disappeared. The island's mountainous interior shelters deep valleys, clear streams, high waterfalls and mysterious caves, all bathed in the green iridescence of Mother Nature's light. The wide, flat coastal lands, edged with a rugged coastline, are home to both fields of tropical flowers and most of the island's population. Papeete, meaning "water basket," was once a gathering place where Tahitians came to fill their calabashes with fresh water. Now the invigorating capital city and gateway of the territory, Papeete boasts vibrant markets, fine restaurants, pearl shops, clubs and boutiques. Tahiti ...just the word ...the world's definition of paradise. Traveler’s Bulletin Board - Traveler’s Bulletin Board - You are invited to submit listings for our monthly Travelers’ Bulletin Board.

Tahiti ActivitiesDiving
Divers of all abilities will appreciate Tahiti's many world-class dive sites, which give visitors the opportunity to glimpse sunken planes, wrecks, exotic fish and sharks. Some sites even offer night diving. Surfing
The surf is always up in Tahiti. Surfing is especially good during the winter months, when the swells break strong along the reefs, resulting in larger, "tubular" waves. Both the northern and southern coasts of Tahiti offer good surfing. Hiking
Adventurous travelers will love the exciting guided hiking tours that lead them on explorations of Tahiti's rugged interior. Stops can include spectacular waterfalls and natural pools, mountain peaks with panoramic views, archeological sites and more. Four-Wheel Drive Tours
Looking for spectacular views, but not on foot or horseback? Then try a four-wheel drive journey to Mount Marau, where the lookout point offers panoramic vistas of surrounding valleys and peaks. Horseback Riding
For the horse enthusiast, Tahiti has a number of first-class riding stables. Experienced riders can saddle-up the island's New Zealand and Marquesan horses, while private lessons are available for the beginner. Rides often include picnic lunches.
