Bora Bora

Plenty of vacationers head to Tahiti for tropical weddings or honeymoons. But it's also an enticing place because the mountainous terrain offers plenty to explore. You can surf, scuba dive, fish, and explore the Les Trois Cascades, the resident mountain range.


Where you stay in Tahiti depends on what you want to do while you're there. But in general, staying at a hotel on the western coast will prove the best decision. You'll be close enough to the beaches to enjoy watersports and snorkeling (or just lie out and tan), but you'll also be within a day trip of Mount Orohena for epic adventuring on land.


Both rainforests and high mountain peaks are highlights in Tahiti. There's everything from coral reefs (scuba dive there) to Mount Orohena at over 7,000 feet in elevation. You can check out black-sand beaches, waterfalls, extinct volcanoes, and lagoons. There are even museums (including a museum centered on Polynesian culture) and the Papeete Market for shopping.


Tahiti is known for its black-sand beaches and epic shoreline, after all. So you can expect that anywhere you turn, you'll be met with views of the deep blue Pacific and a salty breeze. A lot of beaches are attached to private resorts (like Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort & Spa, InterContinental Resort Tahiti, and Manava Suite Resort Tahiti), but others are publicly accessible. Plage Vaiava, for example, is an excellent spot to spend an afternoon. Public Beach Papehue is another option. 


There are endless possibilities and I would love to share my best tips and hidden gems for your south pacific travel experience.
