Pacific Region

The Islands of Tahiti including Bora Bora

French Polynesia is made up of 118 islands in the South Pacific Ocean and includes Tahiti and Bora Bora.

The most well known are Tahiti and Bora Bora, but once visitors decide to travel to the Islands, they most often will visit three of more, and often prefer the lesser known islands depending on their personal interests.  Most start on the island of Tahiti which has the international airport with several flights from the USA and the rest of the world.

The Islands of Tahiti are known for romance, amazing scenery, coral reefs, crystal clear waters, and year round water and air temps of about 80 degrees and romance.   French Polynesia has about as many guests in an entire year as Hawaii has in a week, so there won’t be any crowds.  This destination offers a true and authentic cultural experiences and welcoming smiles.

Known mainly for water activities, this is a sailing, snorkeling, diving and water sports focused vacation for most guests.  Still, there are many opportunities for hiking, ATV tours, golf, bike riding and getting to know the locals.  

Overwater bungalows are a great option for privacy and amazing water views; some have air conditioning, glass floors, private pools and incredible views.  Still, they aren’t the only option as resorts here come in all shapes, sizes, personalities and pleasures.  Speak with a travel advisor about the best fit for you.

Cruising is also a great option when visiting the Islands of Tahiti.  These include luxury and cargo ships, small yachts, sailing vessels and sometimes mega ships.  With so many options, there really is a great fit for every traveler and cruising is often matched up with a land package to enhance the overall vacation experience.
