If you dream of escaping to an idyllic isle, basking in the tropical sun and lazing on a white sand beach lapped by sparkling seas, there is no better place than the Islands of Tahiti and Fiji. Tahiti identifies the main island as well as the group of islands that make up French Polynesia. Tahiti, with its capital of Papeete, is a cosmopolitan town with world class resorts and excellent restaurants. Moorea is known for its ragged volcanic peaks. The pace of life is much slower, villages dot the waterfront road where a lazy barefoot existence prevails. Bora Bora, with her beautiful lagoon, is perhaps the Polynesian island most often dreamed of for the tropical vacation of a lifetime. Explore the island by foot, bicycle or 4WD, or just sit back and enjoy your island paradise in your overwater bungalow.
