Tubuai is the largest island of the Austral archipelago and is located on the tropic of Capricorn. Because of its location it benefits from a temperate climate. Tubuai unveils a unique landscape combining a sapphire blue lagoon with multicolored shades of Tubuai’s sandy beaches.
 
Discover exceptionally preserved underwater marine life in the lagoon. Take a swim with thousands of colorful tropical fish in warm and clear waters. Sports minded addicts will love the kite boarding and windsurfing year round in the lagoon of Tubuai, enhanced by the trade winds.		 Tubuai’s soil is very fertile with coffee, taro and orange trees in abundance around the island. You also can’t miss the large amounts of bright lilies on the island making Tubuai the capital of the lily!
 
The mountains and valleys of Tubuai’s island are great grounds for hiking. Take a walk, ride a bicycle, or go on a 4WD safari tour up to the top of Mount Taita. Either way enjoy the lush nature of this magnificent island.
