The Island of Tahiti is the Queen of the Pacific - Tahiti, or Tahiti Nui is the largest island of  French Polynesia, towering over the ocean like a proud and royal Queen is appropriately crowned by a circle of majestic peaks. The smaller part of the island is called Tahiti Iti.  Tahiti's mountainous interior has dramatic deep valleys, crystal clear streams, soaring waterfalls bathed in green iridescence of light. Rugged coastlines, fields of tropical flowers and most of the Tahiti's population. Papeete is the Capital of Tahiti and the gateway of this over seas country, boasting several world-class resorts, fine dining in unique restaurants, nightclubs, spas, vibrant markets, pearls and charming artisan boutiques.

The Island of Bora Bora is the Romantic Island - and is considered the most beautiful island in the world, definitely the most romantic island in the world, and is not quite an hour's flight from the island of Tahiti or Moorea. The island of Bora Bora, is in the terms of an artist 'a lagoon resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens', and love at first sight.

Absolutely Bora Bora is the most romantic island in the world, with dramatic scenery, and absolute privacy  luxurious island resort amenities, the charming thatched roof overwater bungalow offers you everything that is Bora Bora -- equaling a ten plus plus on the romance scale.  The resorts are first class, having welcomed couples for over forty years, and having critiqued their special amenities to a fine tuned perfection, just for you. This is the perfect blend of unique romantic experiences and romantic ambience at its finest - your wish come true, for romantics everywhere to select from..  Contact us today to book your 'Romantic Getaway'.

The Island of Huahine is called the Garden of Eden is about thirty minutes by plane from the island of Tahiti.  Huahine with its lush forests, untamed landscape, and quaint villages, is one of Polynesia's best-kept secrets.  A deep, crystal-clear lagoon surrounds the two islands while magnificent bays and white-sand beaches add drama and solitude to their virtues. Relatively unchanged by the modern world, Huahine offer a slower taste of old Polynesia. With only eight small villages scattered across the island, the few residents welcome visitors with great kindness. Not surprisingly, this fertile world offers rich soil providing the local farmers a bountiful harvest of vanilla, melons, and bananas.

The Island of Moorea is known as the "The Magical Island" and Tahiti’s sister island, is close enough to see from Tahiti...just 12 miles northwest across the Sea of the Moon. The island is known for its majestic mountain ridges overlooking the island’s two picturesque bays: Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. Polynesian legend describes the panorama of these volcanic ridges as the second dorsal fin of the fish that became the island of Tahiti. All who have traveled here agree: the beauty of Moorea is unforgettable

The Island of Raiatea is known as the Sacred Island - Raiatea, meaning "faraway heaven" and "sky with soft light", was first named Havai'i after the homeland of the ancient Polynesians and is the most sacred island in the South Pacific. Raiatea the second largest Tahitian isle, was the center of religion and culture over 1000 years ago and still lends enchantment to ancient legends told to this day. The green-carpeted mountains include the celebrated Mt. Temehani, a sort of Polynesian Mt. Olympus.

The Island of Taha'a is known as the Vanilla Island - Taha'a, with the rich aroma of vanilla lingering heavily in the air, offers a glimpse of the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians. The flower-shaped island's simple beauty is charmed by soft mountain shapes and surrounded by tiny motu with bright sand beaches. In the fertile valleys cutting within the island, local farmers grow watermelon, vanilla, and copra.

The Island of Manihi is known as the Island of Pearls - lost in the vastness of the South Pacific, conjures up castaway dreams of a tropical isle.  Far from the modern world, the crystal-clear lagoon was once filled with mother-of-pearl and is the site of Tahiti's first black pearl farm. Today, Manihi is still the leading supplier for the Tahitian cultured pearl industry. This is "farm country" South Pacific style. Instead of crops, over 60 farms here produce the world's most sought after gem: pearls. Manihi's lagoon waters are among the most perfect on earth for cultivating pearls because of the temperature, density, salinity, light, and overall climate.

Besides the pearl farms, visitors enjoy exploring the lagoon and the main village of Turipaoa. There are few cars here so walking around the town square and along the coral paths is as peaceful and romantic as the lagoon itself.

The Island of Tikehau is known as the Pink Sand Island is a graceful oval crown of white and pink-sand beaches, can only be described as a picture postcard. Considered to be one of the most beautiful atolls in Polynesia, the fragrance of the air is matched only by the abundance of life in the bright-blue water. The friendly people, their homes awash with gardens, invite you to share and explore their world beyond one's imagination.

In Tikehau, fish seem to outnumber people one-billion-to one. In fact the density of the fish in the lagoon is so high that Jacques Cousteau's research group declared it to contained the highest concentration of fish among any other Tuamotu atolls. Fishing is among the primary industries here for the 400 residents. Visitors enjoy endless hours of exploring the perfection of the lagoon through snorkeling, diving, and boating and exploring the village of Tuherahera.

The Island of Fakarava is known as the Island of Dreams is an untouched world where nature reigns supreme, with nesting birds and marine life live in harmony with the land and water.  The rich ecosystem is home to rare birds, plants, and crustaceans while the dive sites are virtually undiscovered. Life along the shores is equally unique with quaint villages, old coral churches, and welcoming people.  And the lagoon, the second largest after Rangiroa, is rich with life below and above the surface and a prime example of nature at its finest.

Even though Fakarava is the newest destination to welcome resort visitors among Tahiti, it was one of the first population centers and once served as the ancient capital of the Tuamotu region.
With a population of only 400 residents that is centralized around the quaint villages of Rotoava and the Tetamanu.

Fakarava is so pure an environment that it's been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for the preservation of rare species. This designates this atoll, and six surrounding atolls, as a recognized area where local communities are actively involved in governance and management, research, education, training and monitoring - promoting both socio-economic development and biodiversity conservation.

Rangiroa - is known as the Endless Lagoon
is a string of coral encircling a luminous turquoise and jade-green lagoon, is one of the world's greatest dive destinations. From the air, the atoll - the second largest in the world - seems to be a giant pearl necklace laid upon the water. Here is a world where 240 tiny islets, or motu, each no more than three feet in elevation, lay upon the ocean for more than 110 miles completely encircling an infinitely deep lagoon.

Surrounded by two legendary bodies of water, Moana-tea (Peaceful Ocean) and Moana-uri (Wild Ocean), the main villages of Avatoru and Tiputa offer the visitor with a unique look at the South Pacific. Along the few roads, coral churches, craft centers, local restaurants, and tiny shops provide enjoyable land-based experiences to complement the many activities in the lagoon.

Some of the most fantastic Tahitian Pearls are produced in the lagoon of Rangiroa. On the island, you can visit one of the largest pearl farms of French Polynesia. When visiting a pearl farm, you will have the opportunity to witness how the pearls are grafted and harvested, learning all the secrets of the cultivation of this mysterious gem.
