Island
of Tahiti is the Queen of the

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 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. |
