  • Tahiti

    Tahiti is the largest island of the archipelago. Its capital, Papeete (which means 'basket of water') is a port town and the main port of the archipelago. The island has no shortage of attractions. You must, of course, not expect the breathtaking panorama of Bora Bora, but there are however spectacular sceneries with its beautiful lagoon areas and a rich nature.Composed of 2 volcanic masses with steep reliefs, Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti, the island offers impressive landscapes, particularly in inland areas as it has rugged mountains bathed in clouds, deep valleys and stunning waterfalls. While the majority of the hotels are located west of Papeete, where the golden beaches and lagoons are, the eastern coast offers a far wilder and more authentic ambiance.In the north, the town of Papeete is not a tourist destination but more a place for strolls for a few hours. The small commercial capital is not devoid of charm, but it does not really have monuments or architectural elements of great interest. You can stroll on its waterfront, visit its lively and picturesque market (rue du 22 September) and have a look at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Papeete. Try to go on a Saturday, when the traffic is less heavy.

Destination overview

An archipelago on the other side of the world and paradise of the South Seas, the Tahiti-Moorea-Bora Bora trio is not only a destination for beach relaxation. While it is a perfect destination for couples looking for romance either celebrating a honeymoon or a wedding anniversary, this should not stop you from exploring all the islands. You can go for long scenic hikes, a dip in the rockpools and their waterfalls, a beach picnic, or just sit back and admire the lush scenery.

pros

  •  Tahitian hotels are up to your dreamiest expectations
  •  Lagoons on one side, mountains on the other; you can diversify your activities between sport and relaxation

cons

  •  A very far and remote destination
  •  The jet lag can be difficult to get over and can take up to a week!

French Polynesia Holidays in French Polynesia, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Besides all the different water sports and activities offered by the major hotels and resorts, don't miss out on a mini-cruise (often on a catamaran) by day or at sunset. It is the best way to observe, from the lagoon, the superb panoramas of the island. If you dream of a 100% Polynesian holiday, choose to stay with local people, in a thatched home by the lagoon - it's the best way to go straight to the heart of Tahitian lifestyle!

    In the footsteps of the great explorers

    White sand, turquoise water, languid coconut palms close to the shore: Polynesia offers this picture postcard image from one archipelago to another on many of its islands. The destination is actually almost as mountainous as another French overseas department, La Réunion, with the highest of its islands, Tahiti, culminating at 7,350ft in the form of ...
