Each island has its own personality, geography and charm and you should incorporate more than one in your Tahiti vacation, whether on a Tahiti honeymoon package or on a Tahiti cruise that visits several islands. No matter where your Tahiti cruise or Tahiti vacation package takes you, you’re sure to make the kind of memories that will set the bar for the vacations you take in the future.

There are so many fantastic and unique attractions and potential excursions available on a trip to Tahiti; a completely custom Tahiti vacation package is typically the best way to get the most out of your Tahiti vacation or Tahiti honeymoon. Some of the more adventurous things to do in Tahiti include lagoon cruises, shark and ray safaris, outrigger canoe excursions, picnics on nearby private islands, four-wheel drive safaris, hiking adventures, helicopter sightseeing, golf and scuba diving.

Tahiti weather can be broken up into two basic seasons. The high season runs from the beginning of May to the end of October every year. The high season offers travelers milder temperatures, less humidity and precipitation, and greater visibility both above and below water. Prices are generally higher during this season, with some resorts and hotels adjusting their prices on April first to capture early high-season business. From November through April, Tahiti experiences its wet, or low season. These months bring greater levels of precipitation and humidity with them to the islands. These months also mark the typhoon season, with the islands of the South Pacific experiencing a greater chance of being hit by a cyclone-type storm. Though even during the low season, the sun doesn’t completely go away and temperatures still hover right around eighty degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, many seasoned travelers report that the so-called wet season in Tahiti is much dryer than similar months in Hawaii and other parts of Polynesia.

There are Tahiti cruises options available that can bring you out to the nearby wonders of the Marquesas and other local island groups around Tahiti. Additionally, on the large island of Tahiti itself, there are multiple transportation options, including taxis and buses. Many of the locals choose to hitchhike on the larger islands, but many travelers prefer to rent a car, or to hire a car and driver outright for getting around the island to various cultural, shopping, and nightlife destinations.
