There's delicious food, kitschy shops, and cheap places to stay, especially if you want to save money instead of splurging on a beachside bungalow.
You weren't going to visit Tahiti without going to the beach, now were you? That would be like visiting Italy without eating pasta.
More beaches! This one is perfect for snorkeling or lounging on a hot day, which is every day if you visit during the busy season.
Not all of Tahiti's wonders are at the beach--some of them are deep in the jungle. Fautaua is a giant waterfall that cascades into a 450-foot pool.
Having been a staple of local hangouts, the garden is now more of a tourist activity, but who can blame tourists for showing up to such a lyrical place?
You can't miss Moorea when you visit Tahiti. No, really. You can't miss it. It looms in the background of every white sand beach.
The water is so clear you can see fish swimming from the cliffside above, the vast turquoise waters lulling you into a trance.
Sticking to our Moorea getaway, take a car through the mountains for a view of the ocean.
