The epitome of the South Pacific, exotic Tahiti has captured the imagination of travellers since the 18th Century, and with its classically volcanic mountains richly festooned with verdant rainforest, and a beautiful fringe of aquamarine lagoon waters, this is an island still every bit as enchanting to travellers today.
However, if you’re travelling this far - why not explore French Polynesia’s other magical islands:
Moorea is just a short hop from Tahiti.
Bora Bora, with its romantic mountain panorama and exquisite lagoon is perhaps the most beautiful of the South Pacific islands.
Taha’a, the ‘Vanilla Island’, is wonderfully secluded.
Tikehau is an isolated coral atoll barely rising above the Pacific swells.
