The island of Tahiti is the starting point for any trip around French Polynesia. Named “the island of Love” it is the largest of the Society islands but also the center of the French Polynesian economy.
The legendary Tahitian welcome, with beautiful traditional flower leis, will start as soon as you step off the plane at Tahiti Faa’a International Airport, a short drive from the capital city Papeete. Make the most of your stopover with a visit to Papeete’s charming markets, bars and restaurants. When leaving Papeete by car, be entranced by idyllic views of blue lagoons and majestic mountains. |
Take advantage of various land and water based activities amongst these beautiful surroundings ensuring your stay on Tahiti island is unforgettable.
Should you take the time to explore, Tahiti will unveil many surprises. Visit various nearby islands and take a dip in isolated waterfalls. Discover her cultural and historic treasures whilst visiting the lighthouse at Venus Point built by Captain Cook or by attending a Tahitian dance show. |

Our experts' advice | AriimanaTravel specialist“As we approach the season, I invite you to discover the humpback whales!” More... | The best time is between July and October. Indeed, we have the privilege of being on the migration route of the majestic humpback whales and since 2002, French Polynesia is listed as marine mammal sanctuary. During the season they come to mate and calve which offers visitors wonderful opportunities to meet a mother and her calf. To put the odds on your side, you should know that in July / August the whales are mostly in the warm waters of the Society archipelago, then they head down to the Australes archipelago in September, especially in Rurutu. I can help you organize the most suitable trip possible and perhaps you will realize your dream of swimming with the worldwide known humpback whales! This is a rare and precious moment; few have had the chance to do in their lives. | All travel tips

Hello Ariimana,
The return was difficult Tuesday!
In any case big thank you for making us feel so advised and have everything so well organized, everything went as planned. We happily discovered this part of France so much less stressful than ours, and especially so more welcoming, not to mention the beautiful scenery and colors and beautiful vegetation. We are delighted to have met people very friendly especially the Marquesas, the pension Moehau really recommend, they were too much trouble, they rented a 4x4 for us through which we could visit without guide the 4 corners of the island where we were often the only tourists.
The tour that you have offered on Bora Bora was also very interesting despite the downpour we received on the head during the ride on the lagoon but the two boys who accompanied us made us forget thanks to their good mood! Not talking about the beautiful Maupiti is a real reward compared to abominable past 5am on Maupiti Express!
In short, it was a beautiful trip we will never forget . And we have took so many photos ... our children and grandchildren will have to enjoy Sunday.
Thank you again, and if one day we decide to come back, we will know who to talk to!
