“It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire,” stated Robert Louis Stevenson after years of living on the island of Tahiti. The beauty of this sandy Shangri-la is unsurpassed. Verdant cliffs here were formed by long-ago volcanoes, but emerald lagoons are still full of sea life. Black-sand beaches, with their celebrated surf, too underscore the fact that when you arrive in Tahiti, you arrive in the world’s foremost tropical paradise, where pleasure knows no bounds.

Beneath the waters of Tahiti lie otherworldly sights of tropical fish, sharks, and rays, all enjoying the island’s pristine ecosystem around a magnificent living coral reef. Experienced scuba divers will find heaven here, and this is a perfect place for beginners to get their certifications. Cruising on a catamaran or sailboat, or even learning to sail these vessels yourself is a glorious way to see the towering, jungled mountains of Tahiti, which seem to rise straight out of the sea. Thrill to having the Pacific wind in your hair either on a boat or in an exciting four-wheel-drive adventure that crosses the fabled, verdant Papenoo valley, replete with ancient artefacts and the diamond drops of innumerable waterfalls. Surfers in Tahiti enjoy both beach and reef breaks, while land-lubbers will thrill at watching the famous Tahiti surf competitions.

Whether you choose to snorkel a plane wreck, kayak in the lagoon, ride a traditional Polynesian outrigger canoe, hang glide, windsurf, or even try the famous barefoot water skiing invented right here in Tahiti, there is no chance that you will run out of amusements in this land of perfect views and endless opportunities.

Innumerable shades of turquoise, emerald, and aquamarine fill the land- and sea-scape of Tahiti until the magnificence of the island overwhelms you. This sheer sensual pleasure is sustained and magnified when you view majestic mountains pierce the clouds and valleys come alive with hibiscus blossoms. Here, the aroma of vanilla scents the salty breezes, and Polynesia’s true flavour emerges. Traditionally, the views and pleasures of Tahiti were considered reserved only for the gods. 

Located just a seven-hour flight from Sydney, Australia, Tahiti’s ideal Polynesian location offers the perfect combination of remoteness and convenience, while its perfectly preserved natural gifts embrace you, lull you, serenade you, and bewitch you throughout warm sunny days and refreshing, starlit evenings.
