The island of Tahiti is the largest of the French Polynesian islands, and is a popular vacation destination for tourists of all ages from all over the world. It has been called The most beautiful place on Earth and is a favored honeymoon place for newlyweds. Loaded with its famous black beaches and serene mountainous landscapes, this island is one that is not to be missed. The people of Tahiti welcome tourists to indulge in the traditions of their culture, and every place to visit is enriched with hospitality. Some of the favorite activities for vacationers include sunbathing on the beach, romantic moonlit walks on the beaches, tours by bus or car that take you all over the land, fishing, swimming, shopping, and of course, dining. Canoeing and kayaking are popular pastimes, and after a wonderful day walking along the island, you can relax and rejuvenate at any one of the many spas that help make Tahiti famous.
Although most people immediately think of Tahiti as a honeymoon spot or romantic getaway, it is also ideal for family vacations. There is never a lack of things to do. Festivals and events, shopping, sports such as golf, and activities are continually offered around the island and will delight tourists of any age. Many hotels and eateries offer special deals for families and children. Shark feeding and traditional picnics are just two of the unique activities that are offered, and adults and children both find that the unique overwater bungalows there are like no other hotel room they have ever stayed in! Brightly colored tropical fish swim in the crystal clear water below the bungalows, which can be seen from the glass floors.
The famous Tahitian black pearls, originating only in the local blue lagoons, can be found during unsurpassed shopping excursions to local shops and galleries. The Motu picnic is an experience not to be missed on a Tahiti vacation. Tables and chairs sit in the clear shallow waters or under coconut trees, where gourmet meals are prepared that take fine dining to an all-new level. Another popular activity is the cruises that transport passengers from lagoon to lagoon and port to port. Sightseers get a look of the island by way of catamarans and super yachts, and barefoot cruising provides a fresh, new alternative to the traditional cruises. Tahiti vacations are hailed as some of the best, most exhilarating vacations in the world.
