BY SEA:
A cruise or sail is a great way to extend a trip. The essence of Tahiti
— the interplay between land and sea — can best be captured
by spending some time afloat.
- Circumnavigating Moorea by kayak with Tahiti Expeditions
- Cruising the isles on one of the world's top-rated ships, The 320 passenger m/s Paul Gauguin
- Exploring the coral atolls on the 12-stateroom Haumana.
- Sailing, Diving, Fishing. Star-gazing par excellence. There is only one limitation: This fragile ecosystem is no place for large cruise ships.
THE ART OF THE SWEPT AWAY HONEYMOON:
Yes, Tahiti is romantic. Exceedingly romantic. Whether your vision of
the perfect honeymoon includes thatched roof luxury in an overwater bungalow,
a private feast with drums and dancing, pampering in a Tahitian spa or
a total (but exquisitely comfortable) escape from civilization, we've
had lots of experience in orchestrating the unforgettable. We'll equip
you everything you need to create your own honeymoon masterpiece. Then
we'll leave you to your own devices on a deserted pink sand beach with
plenty of champagne.

Fragile But Majestic...
French Polynesia:
Breathtakingly beautiful. Exotic by definition. It's impossible not to be inspired by the crystalline sea as it shifts from opal to turquoise to ultramarine. The same time zone as Hawaii and only two hours farther by plane, Paradise is so much more accessible than most realize .
Tahiti is over 100 distinctive isles thrown like a handful of gems across an area of the South Pacific the size of Western Europe. From the dragon-spine mountains of craggy Hiva Oa to barely-there Tikihau, a ring of islets like a floating pearl necklace, to lush Moorea, each is inhabited by gracious and hospitable Polynesians with their own unique story to tell.
Always Rooted in Nature and Culture
in Tahiti the two are inseparable.
