Many visitors to Tahiti opt to either travel to Bora Bora or to fly into Papeete (the capital of the island of Tahiti) and board the Regent Seven Seas Cruise ship, Paul Gauguin. Either way you will find just enough to do, including nothing at all if that’s what you choose. The most popular activities in Tahiti (other than relaxing) are the island 4x4 safaris, nature hikes, scuba diving, snorkeling, canoeing, sailing, jet skiing, wind-surfing, surfing, bike riding, tennis, golfing on the island of Tahiti, horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, shopping, circle-island tours, helicopter tours, museums stops and archaeological tours.
Tahiti & Her Islands cover more than two million square milesof the South Pacific Ocean with 118 islands in all extending into over five archipelagos. This area is what is officially known as French Polynesia. The island of Tahiti is located in the Society Islands, an archipelago, which also includes the islands of Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Taha'a, and Bora Bora.
French is the official language in Tahiti, but English is spoken and understood in most places. However, try your hand at a few Tahitian words and phrases starting with hello, good day, friendly greeting, which is ia orana, welcome, which is maeva or thank you – mauru'uru.
No matter when you choose to visit the Tahitian islands you will find they are continuously lulled by gentle ocean breezes, making everyday the perfect day to visit. Tropical but moderate, the climate features sunny, pleasant days and an average yearly air and water temperature of 80 degrees.
Whether you decide to visit the islands by car or take a cruise aboard the Paul Gauguin you will find that the people are Tahiti’s greatest commodity always embracing life and visitors with the sharing of music, dance and flowers.
If you decide to enjoy the cruise experience you will that there are still many opportunities to go ashore. Take one of the many land excursions, which is the best way to experience the everyday life of the Tahitians.
