Tahiti Island
Tahiti Vacations start on the island of Tahiti. With great shopping downtown and the history of Paul Gauguin, Tahiti is recommended for a 2 nights stay, before or after the outer islands are visited. In the Public Market of Papeete, shop for Tahitian collectibles such as colorful pareus, wood carvings, monoi oil products, and Tahitian Cultured Black Pearls. There are a surprising number of restaurants around Papeete and at Vai'ete Square, along the waterfront. The pristine interior can be explored by 4x4 safari, guided nature hikes, or along the beautiful coastline by bus or rental car. Enjoy the lagoons of Tahiti by diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing, canoeing, or deep-sea fishing. Please ask how to include activities, spa treatments, restaurant meals, and Polynesian shows in your Tahiti vacation package.
