I’ve always dreamed of traveling to Tahiti, but never really thought it could be possible. Like many other people, I always dismissed it as a place only the rich and famous could enjoy. But after 10 days, 4 islands, and 13 hotel site inspections, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tahiti is an affordable destination that ANYONE can enjoy: couples, families, adventurers, etc. Join me as we uncover the best of Tahiti.

Dive into a World of Water Sports

Tahiti’s pristine lagoons and crystal-clear waters provide the ultimate playground for water sports enthusiasts. Engage in exhilarating activities such as jet skiing, paddleboarding, or surfing, where you can feel the rush of adrenaline as you glide over the waves. The island’s renowned surf breaks, including the legendary Teahupo’o, attract surfers from around the globe. For a more leisurely experience, embark on a kayaking or outrigger canoeing excursion, exploring hidden coves and secluded beaches. Snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts will be delighted by the vibrant marine life and coral gardens, creating unforgettable underwater adventures.

Conquer Majestic Peaks and Trails  

Tahiti’s dramatic landscapes offer countless opportunities for outdoor exploration. Lace up your hiking boots and venture into the heart of the island’s lush rainforests, where an extensive network of trails awaits. Ascend the mighty Mount Aorai for a challenging but rewarding trek, granting you panoramic vistas of the island’s breathtaking beauty. Discover hidden waterfalls, cascades, and freshwater pools as you hike through Papenoo Valley or explore the enchanting Opunohu Valley. Guided tours provide an opportunity to learn about the island’s flora, fauna, and cultural significance, immersing you in the magic of Tahiti’s natural wonders.

Indulge in a Luxurious Escape

After days filled with adventure, retreat to the lap of luxury that Tahiti offers. The island is home to a plethora of world-class resorts and retreats, ensuring a pampering experience like no other. Immerse yourself in opulence with overwater bungalows boasting private pools, direct lagoon access, and stunning panoramic views. Unwind in lavish spa facilities, where ancient Polynesian techniques and natural ingredients restore your body and soul. Savor gourmet cuisine crafted with the freshest local ingredients, paired with fine wines from around the world. Delight in personalized service and attention to detail, as Tahiti’s luxury accommodations redefine the meaning of indulgence.

My personal favorite escape is yoga! There were yoga classes at every hotel I visited, and I loved learning about my yoga instructor. She was originally from France and has lived in Tahiti for over 20 years, loving and living the best island life. Meeting different people on your travels and hearing their stories is truly so interesting and I highly recommend it to any traveler. Pro tip: get to know the locals or people helping you. You just might be surprised and amazed at what you learn!

Immerse in Cultural Encounters

Beyond adventure and luxury, Tahiti also offers a rich cultural tapestry to explore. Engage in authentic Polynesian experiences to gain insights into the island’s vibrant heritage. Attending traditional dance performances, where the graceful movements and vibrant costumes mesmerize spectators. Indulge in mouthwatering feasts featuring local delicacies, accompanied by captivating storytelling and traditional music. The Polynesian show was just incredible! I lived in Maui, Hawaii for around a year, so I know firsthand what cultural shows are like. The Polynesian show at the Brando was so special to me and such a great experience. The hotel staff who helped me and welcomed me every day were also the performers in the Polynesian show.  It was such a real genuine and authentic experience that I will always treasure.
