Tahiti
is the largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia and it features the only international airport. The island is crowned by a circle of majestic peaks, towering over the ocean like a proud and royal queen. Full of legends, stunning scenery, crystal-clear turquoise lagoons, lush tropical landscape, black and white sand beaches, spectacular coral reefs and waterfalls, Tahiti has always been a unique dream destination. 

Papeete, the invigorating capital city and commercial hub of French Polynesia, hosts the government offices, hospitals, banks, airlines and travel agencies, fine restaurants, nightclubs, pearl shops, and boutiques. The famous waterfront was recently renovated, creating a lively boardwalk atmosphere from To’ata Square, a new concert venue that boasts a daily crafts fair, to Vai’ete Square, the place where gourmet catering trucks (the “roulottes”)  settle at night to offer delicious, low cost meals. The colourful market is just footsteps away from Vai’ete Square, offering endless shopping from local food to hand-made crafts to souvenirs.
 

Activities include golf at Tahiti's spectacular American designed championship golf course, island adventure tours, helicopter excursions, horseback riding, tennis, snorkelling, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, wind surfing, deep sea fishing, water skiing and day trips to Marlon Brando's atoll, Tetiaroa, to name just a few.
