Destination Information

Tahiti

This mystical and mountainous island fringed by glorious white and black sand beaches is where you will find Papeete, French Polynesia's bustling capital, and its stylish shops and Le Marche (market).

Tahiti: InterContinental Resort Tahiti Pool Like Fletcher Christian who led the Mutiny on the Bounty in a bid to stay here, or artist Paul Gauguin who spent his life painting the extraordinary beauty of this island and its people, you will be captivated by the unique atmosphere of Tahiti.

Our favourite things to do in Papeete include dining at Les Roulettes, catering trucks that gather each evening on the wharf. Choose from bargain priced, but delicious meals including stir-fries, curries, roasted pig, pizza, crepes and the world's best vanilla ice-cream.

The warm waters of Tahiti are one of the few places in the world where black pearls are cultured. Prices in Papeete shops range from $500 to $10,000 or more, though slightly flawed examples can be found for much less.

Or hire a car and explore the tropical jungle interior and ancient valleys shrouded in tree ferns with stunning waterfalls, almost too perfect to be true.

Taha'a
Taha'a - the Vanilla Island - shares her lagoon wtih Raitea from which, according to the legend, she was detached by a sacred eel possessed by the spirit of a princess. This enchanting paradise, endowed with a magnificent turquoise lagoon surrounded by "motus", islets of superb white sand beaches is an ancient volcano dominated by Mount Ohiri wtih its exceptional panorama. Notched by deep valleys which giver her her jagged form, this savage island is equally renowned for the picturesque quality of her archaeological sites hidden by the coconut trees, ferns and grasses which flourish up the peaks.Renowed for its quiet bays protected from trade winds, its archeological sites and its fishy lagoon, highly colored and appreciated by sailors, Taha'a hosts a few peal farms.The "Vanilla Island" nicknamed so because of the precious orchids that prosper on numerous plantations, remains virtually saturated with the strong aroma of the beans which perfumes the coast lines and the little hibiscus-bordered villages nestled in the hills.The inhabitants still live a peaceful and traditional life, fishing and farming and selling their produces on either Uturoa or Papeete's markets.
