BORA BORA, the jewel of the Pacific, is a central emerald island surrounded by a myriad of islets. The colours of the lagoon vary from pale turquoise to deepest cobalt, and the range of depth almost assures you of sighting the gentle manta rays. The reefs are home to a great deal of smaller lagoon dwelling species, and locals can introduce you to the 1.5 metre barracuda named Romeo. Operators are Calypso Club and Bora Bora Diving Centre.

HUAHINE, the garden island, is where Pacific Blue Adventure can take you to see Avafehia Pass, Coral City notable for formations rising 3 metres off the bottom and the 7kg red snapper. Yellow Valley rich in multi-coloured fish, the aquarium for beginners and the dive school. At Huahine you can see giant Jewish or Black Sea Bass weighing in at 180kgs.

RANGIROA is the place where drift diving or shooting the pass can be done any day. The steady five knot current offers an exhilarating dive and the regular scheduled dives are run on a 12 hour cycle so as to get the slack water. This cycle advances 45 minutes each day. Rangiroa dive sites include Napoleon Manta Point, Motu Fara Pass, Mahuta, The Avatoru, Tiputa Aquariums and Tiputa Shark Cave. All of these sites and more are offered by Scuba Diving Centre, Raie Manta Club and Paradive.

TIKEHAU was declared to contain the most fish by Jacques Cousteau in 1987. Raie Manta Club - Tikehau, can show you those along with providing night diving, photo and video services.

MANIHI, famous for the black pearls, has an array of sites offering frequent encounters with Manta Rays, drift dives or the Pass Entrance. 'Grouper City' has a notable aggregation of marbled grouper. Manihi Blue Nui are the people to see.

In a word, romance. Without doubt, Tahiti is the most romantic place on earth. It was made for lovers. Close your eyes and imagine a secluded oceanfront Garden of Eden for you and your Adam -- or Eve -- and you've probably just conjured up a glimpse of Tahiti.

Intoxicating scents. Palm-shaded sugar white beaches all to yourselves. Secluded coves. Warm crystal water in extraordinary hues. Islands more sensuous than the works of Gaugin, more adventuresome that the tales of Robert Louis Stevenson, more romantic than James Michener's Bali Hai.

Tahiti is the idyllic setting for a honeymoon in paradise. Tahiti is uncrowded, private, secluded, where the most magical scenery seems to just belong to you.
Sleep in your own private thatched-roof bungalow on the edge of a turquoise lagoon...
Cruise under a star studded sky, following the gentle trade winds..
Spend the day on your own secluded islet....or on an endless beach were you can be Adam and Eve for a day.

Here are just some of the hints that our TahitiTravel consultants give for a perfect honeymoon:
*Book your reservations at least 6 months ahead.  The major obstacle to booking the trip you want, whether it's a custom itinerary, package vacation or tour, is availability. Flights and hotels fill up many months in advance. This is why it pays off to plan and book your honeymoon as early as possible.
*Get the best level of resort you can afford. This is where you will spend the majority of your time.
*Splurge for upgraded accommodations such as an over-the-water bungalow. It's magical and you'll thank yourselves later!
*Plan the honeymoon together and communicate all of your preferences up front! We'll suggest the perfect itinerary for your budget and preferences.
*Check to be sure you have all the proper documentation to travel with (passport) and that you know the issues surrounding any name changes.
*Ask us for information on what there is to see and do on the islands. We know all the excursions, restaurants, etc..

Whether you're alone, a couple or a group, Tahiti and her Islands is the ultimate in a get-away-from-it-all destination. You can charter a boat, go with your friends on an exclusive lagoon cruise or chill out with them in the privacy of your own secluded island paradise such as the Vahine Island Resort. Tahiti also caters to gay groups, offering exclusive hotel book-outs at many resorts, providing full and private use of all services and facilities.

Locals, tourists, and an impressive roster of celebrities have made Bloody Mary’s a part of their Bora Bora experience, as should anyone interested in enjoying Tahitian culture in a light-hearted way. 

Perched on wooden log-style stools, diners can begin with a tropical drink such as Vanilla Rum Punch, the house specialty. Appetizers and main courses are chosen from a display of the freshly-caught fish, with the host describing each preparation in seven different languages. Creatively prepared meals are served on a wooden platter. Delectable desserts include a coconut tart and a very French crème brulee.
