Between lagoon and majestic mountains, Tahiti is at the crossroads. As the starting point to the islands of Polynesia, this vibrant island blends culture, nature, and adventure throughout the year.
Experience the vibrant nature of Tahiti. On the sea side, a lagoon unfolds with varying shades of blue, bordered by black or white sand beaches. On the land side, towering mountains and their deep valleys shelter idyllic waterfalls surrounded by lush, dense vegetation.
A range of choices is available to you. Here, you can hike on sharp ridges or through lush valleys, stroll through the colorful streets and gardens of Papeete, or even embark on a tour of the island by 4x4, bike, or helicopter.
Discover Tahiti through its cultural, musical, and sporting events. Explore the island's rich cultural heritage by visiting the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands or historic sites. Immerse yourself in the local vibe at bars, food trucks, and restaurants.
Explore the wonders of the ocean. Experience a suspended moment in the lagoon surrounded by corals and tropical fish. Or get your adrenaline pumping with various diving, kitesurfing, and surfing spots, including the legendary Teahupo’o wave.
