Tahiti is the cultural centre of French Polynesia. When people picture the “South Sea Islands”, they are thinking about Tahiti. The hula hoop craze originated there as part of a dance. The beaches and lagoons are more beautiful than many and were the inspiration of paintings by Paul Gaugin. The island offers cruises and tours both on land and sea and include whale watching, day and sunset cruises, historical, 4WD, cultural and glass-bottomed boat tours. The beaches and lagoons offer splendid opportunities for swimming, diving and kayaking. The islanders love sport, most of which will be familiar to those from Europe. The national sport is called Va’a, a form of racing outrigger canoes. Food is available to suit every taste. This includes French, Moroccan, Italian, European, Asian, Polynesian, street and others.

Palm trees and stars set the mise-en-scene for peace and tranquility and lucky snorkelers who make their way across the reef may see rays and black tip sharks.
