For Some, Tahiti is the only choice for a memorable honeymoon

Honeymooning In Tahiti
Some describe Tahiti as the Pearl of the Pacific or the new Hawaii. Others as a sanctuary, heaven on Earth! There is no better place to celebrate your new life together or to celebrate a milestone of your relationship. A world apart from other tropical island vacations, the Tahitian islands offer romance, seclusion, overwater-bungalows, luxury Polynesian spas, activities and the warmth of the Tahitian people.

Believe it or not Tahiti is just one of the islands that make up 14 of the Society Island. It’s where the capital Papeete is located and where you start your journey. Tahiti is the largest island throughout the country and is considered the Queen of the Pacific. This invigorating city and gateway of the country, boasts world-class resorts, spas, fine dining and unique restaurants, nightclubs, vibrant markets, pearl shops, and boutiques. If gives you a perfect taste of what is to come.

BEAUTIFUL MOOREA
After a day or so in Tahiti, get introduced to Moorea – The Magical Island! Moorea soars magically out of the ocean in an explosion of green velvet - what you would imagine a South Seas island to be. The beauty of Moorea is unforgettable. It is the second largest of all the islands, very mountainous, with Mt. Tohivea being the highest point. If you’ve ever seen “South Pacific” it is rumored James Michener based Bali Hai on Moorea. Here you’ll find a true South Seas experience. A barefoot experience, with white and black sand beaches, multi colored lagoons, surrounded by mountains and a dormant volcano that reaches into the clouds. There are endless activities. From swimming with dolphins, scuba diving, surfing, kitesurfing, 4X4 safaris, deep sea fishing, eco, cultural and nature touring, to having a private lunch on a private island called a motu. If this is to much activity for you, then sit back on your deck, soaking in the beauty and enjoy what nature has provided.

The next island of Bora Bora is the most impressive, distinctive island you will ever experience. Two towering peaks of sheer black rock dominate the center of the island and make an impressive backdrop to an assortment of blue waters that will dazzle the eyes. Bora Bora's lagoon is its most treasured feature, and allows the traveler many opportunities to experience it in a variety of ways. Windsurfing, jetski across the magnificent turquoise lagoon, scuba dive, swim, bask in its warmth... the list goes on.

Over Water Huts in Bora Bora - Ahhhhhhh Luxury
Bora Bora is truly an experience worth having. A wonderfully relaxing place to be as well as a great island for you to experience, your Bora Bora vacation will never be forgotten. The perfect Bora Bora day begins with a dawn breakfast from your over-water bungalow deck, then a guided tour of the atoll on waver-runners, then a stop on a deserted beach for lunch of beachside barbecued lobster. Then perhaps there will be an hour of swimming with sharks and bat rays, schools of them mysteriously mellowed by the warm aqua waters. Spend some time shopping for black pearls in the central village of Vaitape or maybe enjoy an afternoon massage, full of locally harvested healing oils carrying a faint sweet smell of tiare. And finally, before dinner, have sunset cocktails overlooking Mount Otemanu, the extinct volcano which is paradise’s distinctively craggy profile.

If Bora Bora isn’t enough beauty for you, visit Le Taha’a – a private island known as the Vanilla Island. When you arrive you are greeted by the rich aroma and you realize you are in heaven. This self-declared “most exclusive resort in all of French Polynesia” offers a perfect ending to your romantic getaway –this is what most people believe Bora Bora looked like before getting popular. Stunning accommodations, wonderful restaurants, and an amazing spa, Le Taha’a is a perfect gem. You can actually walk 100 yards out into the water and still only be knee deep. The sea is so calm, tables and chairs are actually set up in the water for lunch.
