FloraTahiti's volcanic soil is particularly fertile, meaning that the archipelago is home to a significant number of plant species. Carlos Rodrigues

The emblem of Tahiti, the tiare flower, is seen everywhere, just as coconut trees are, whether shooting up straight or leaning towards the lagoon. Under water, you will see turtles as well as a multitude of colourful fish swimming across the corals.
