TAHITI<br />
Tahiti, known as “The Queen of the<br />
Pacific,” is the largest and most<br />
populated island, and is the starting<br />
point for your incredible Tahiti<br />
Vacation. Your international flight<br />
lands at Faa’a Airport in the capital<br />
city of Papeete. Upon arrival, you will<br />
receive a typical Tahitian display of<br />
hospitality – a friendly welcome with<br />
fragrant Tiare flowers and Tahitian<br />
music<br />
The Island of Tahiti is divided into a larger<br />
part, known as Tahiti Nui (“Big Tahiti”) and a<br />
smaller peninsula called Tahiti Iti (‘Little<br />
Tahiti”). With lush green peaks reaching more<br />
than 7,300 feet, its scenery is dramatic.<br />
Cascading waterfalls and rippling pools in<br />
the jungle-like interior provide a striking<br />
contrast to the black- and white-sand<br />
beaches and turquoise lagoons of the island’s<br />
perimeter.<br />
Home to the majority of the French<br />
Polynesians you find them living a<br />
cosmopolitan life in Papeete, surfing the<br />
breaks around the islands and living a<br />
traditional life in the more remote regions.

TAHA’A<br />
Taha’a, "The Vanilla Island," is just<br />
two miles north of Raiatea, offers a<br />
glimpse of the traditional, tranquil<br />
life of Tahitians. The 4,000 residents<br />
fish from the lagoon and raise<br />
livestock. Taha’a is called “The Vanilla<br />
Island” for its many plantations of this<br />
sought-after spice, which sweetens<br />
the island air with its rich aroma.<br />
Each November, Taha’a comes alive<br />
with a Stone Fishing tournament.<br />
In the method of their ancestors, the<br />
villagers wade into the lagoon, beating<br />
the water with stones tied to ropes. The<br />
frenzy frightens the schools of fish,<br />
driving them ashore, where they are<br />
easily collected for a feast.<br />
Sharing a lagoon with the island of<br />
Raiatea all flights land on Raiatea and<br />
then resort clients are picked up by<br />
boat right from the airport and<br />
transferred to their resort.

Bora Views/Sunset views<br />
Bora<br />
people never see this incredible view. Walk down the path past the very last beach bungalow to the tip of the beach. Head out<br />
Most<br />
the sandy lagoon and peer around the corner of the motu for incredible views of Bora Bora. It is private property around the<br />
into<br />
and not part of the resort so be respectful – but worth the visit during the day and then again late in the afternoon for<br />
corner<br />
people don’t push the sliding door of your bungalow open all the way…keep on pushing it until the glass totally disappears<br />
Many<br />
your whole bungalow wall will be open up onto your deck. If it is not too hot, I love to sleep with the tropical breeze this way<br />

BORA<br />
I N S I D E R T I P S<br />
BORA<br />
Bora Bora, “The Romantic Island,” is often<br />
called the most beautiful island in the<br />
world. This tiny island – just 18 miles in<br />
circumference – is encircled by a<br />
protective necklace of coral. Lush<br />
mountains provide a dramatic backdrop<br />
for the indescribable turquoise, lapis and<br />
aquamarine of the sheltered lagoon.<br />
Arriving by air is a unique experience,<br />
landing on the airstrip that was built by<br />
U.S. troops during World War II. The<br />
runway is on a motu (small islet), and<br />
visitors must travel by boat to reach the<br />
main island.<br />
It’s no surprise that most of the island’s<br />
activities center around the spectacular<br />
lagoon. The popular shark and ray tours,<br />
lagoon photographer trips, champagne<br />
sunset cruises, jet skiing the lagoon and<br />
more.<br />
For a half-day land journey of exploration,<br />
nothing beats an ATV tour through the<br />
interior of this wondrous island. Bora Bora<br />
is home to world-class resorts, quaint<br />
French-inspired restaurants, and is known<br />
for its jet-setting celebrity visitors who relax<br />
anonymously on its secluded beaches and<br />
overwater bungalows.
