Tahiti Vacations: Authentic South Pacific Vacations to Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Taha'a & More
There is hardly a destination more romantic or idyllic than Tahiti. Tahiti vacations convey images of white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and coral reefs. But there's so much more to a Tahiti vacation that makes this such an enchanting destination to visit.
Tahiti is also the warmth and beauty of the people. On a Tahiti vacation, there's an indescribable feeling that lured the likes of Paul Gauguin and Robert Louis Stevenson. This is the fabled Bali Hai, and it's no wonder Tahiti honeymoons are so popular!
What Is Tahiti?
While Tahiti is often referred to as the destination, it is actually the main island within the Society Islands, which includes Raiatea, Taha'a, Huahine, Moorea and Bora Bora, and are part of the 118 islands of French Polynesia. Each island has its own personality, geography and charm. Not to visit other islands is like visiting Oahu and bypassing Maui, Kauai or the Big Island.
How Far Away Is Tahiti?
Tahiti is about 3.5 hours beyond Hawaii (or about an 8.5 hour flight), and in the same time zone as Hawaii. And that's a good thing. If it was so much closer, it just wouldn't provide the same experience. In fact, we often feel the longer it takes to get to a destination, the more riches it often provides.
What Weather Can I Expect on My Tahiti Vacation?
One of God's many gifts to Tahiti is water temperature that averages in the low 80's year around. There are two seasons: from November thru March weather is warmer and humid, while from April thru October it's drier. The average temperature is 78 degrees.
What Is There To Do On A Tahiti Vacation?
While the white sand beaches and clear waters are enough for some, there's certainly much more one can do. There's lagoon cruises, shark and ray safaris, outrigger canoe excursions, picnics on a private island, 4-wheel drive safaris, hiking adventures, helicopter sightseeing, golf and scuba diving.
Shoppers will delight in the famous Tahitian Cultured Black Pearls found here, as well as the colorful pareos, monoi oils and Polynesian crafts.
What Are Tahiti Vacation Accommodations Like?
On beach vacations, the resort frames the quality of experience you'll have. Tahiti has a variety of accommodations, with the highlight being overwater bungalows many of the better resorts offer. Sleep above the clear waters in your thatched-roof bungalow, villa or suite with all the amenities of a first-class hotel room. Our experts have been to most of the resorts, and can arrange the best for you.
Beyond Tahiti: The Tuamotus and Marquesas
For those with whom Robinson Crusoe resonates, the Tuamoto Archipelago beckons. These are the world's largest collection of coral atolls and include Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau and Fakarava. Here you can walk the pink sand beach, black pearl farms, and enjoy breathtaking scuba diving.
The rugged Marquesas are among the most remote islands.For those that make the trek, Nuku Hiva or Hiva Oa show off tall volcanic peaks, scenic waterfalls, sandy beaches and quaint village life. We can arrange your visit to these unspoiled corners of the planet.
Tahiti Vacation Cruises
A cruise is another way to visit the islands in one week or longer. The best,
Paul Gauguin Cruises, operates year-around small-ship cruises here. Using the ship as your luxury hotel, in just one week you get around to a few of the islands, enjoy excursions ashore, and use the aft water-level platform from which you can enjoy water-based activities. A dive program is available onboard. Read more about
Paul Gauguin Cruises. For other cruise options available for your Tahiti vacation, contact our travel experts.
