~Tahiti |
| The island's mountainous interior shelters deep valleys, clear streams, high waterfalls and mysterious caves, all bathed in the green iridescence of Mother Nature's light. The wide, flat coastal lands, edged with a rugged coastline, are home to both fields of tropical flowers and most of the island's population. The invigorating capital city and gateway of the territory, Papeete boasts vibrant markets, fine restaurants, pearl shops, clubs and boutiques. | |

A wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the
island's vertical mountains, peaceful meadows and cool waterfalls.
Steep fields of pineapples and vanilla will fill your senses and
renew your belief in the majesty of nature. Pastel-painted houses,
surrounded by gardens of hyacinth and birds of paradise, circle
the island in a fantasy of happy, yet simple, architecture. All
who have traveled here agree: the beauty of Moorea is unforgettable. |

Honeymooners and romantics from around the world have laid claim to this island where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus while palm-covered motus circle the lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where impossibly colored fish animate the coral gardens. Simply said, the most beautiful island in the world. |

| Huahine, with its lush forests and untamed
landscape, is Polynesia's best-kept secret. A deep, crystal-clear
lagoon surrounds the two islands while magnificent bays and white-sand
beaches add drama and solitude to their virtues. Huahine's few residents
are warm, welcoming visitors with great kindness. With its rich
and fertile soil, the island provides farmers bountiful harvests
of vanilla, melons and bananas. |

~Raiatea |

Raiatea is revered by the Tahitians
as the birthplace of their religion and culture. According to
legend, it was from her shores that ancient Polynesian explorers
set off for Hawaii and New Zealand. |

~Taha'a |
|
| With the rich aroma of vanilla
lingering heavily in the air, Tahaa offers a glimpse of the traditional,
tranquil life of the Tahitians. Here, the coral reef surrounding
the flower-shaped island is crowned with as many as 60 tiny, idyllic
motus perched above the north shore. For the adventurous traveler who wants to experience the roots of Polynesian culture and the natural beauty that inspired it, Tahaa are the ideal destinations. |
