Destination Tahiti

Ivy Tjok visited Papeete, Moorea and Bora Bora. This is the perfect place to relax, and enjoy, snorkeling, fishing, or just sitting on the deck of your over-the water bungalow. These over-the water bungalows are truly to die for!

Maeva! Welcome!

Tahiti – Moorea – Bora Bora – island names that evoke a wonderful state of mind, seducing honeymooners, romantics, adventurers, and vacationers looking for escape.

Here, around these South Seas isles, a romantic sunset sea sends giant curls of turquoise breaking onto the colorful reefs that protect the tranquil lagoons of warm, bright-emerald waters and white coral-sand beaches.

Closer Than You Think
Easier to travel to than you might imagine, Tahiti's Faa'a Airport is under 8 hours by air from Los Angeles LAX airport, with daily nonstop flights and starting in the summer of 2005 – 3 non-stop flights a week from New York’s JFK airport.

As far south of the equator as Hawaii is north, Tahiti is halfway between California and Australia, on the same side of the International Date Line as North America, and in the same time zone as Hawaii - (only three hours behind California April-October and two hours behind California November-March).

Tahitian Cultured Pearls
The Purest Gem on Earth is Born Here.

Perfection bestows perfection. The warm lagoon waters of the islands and atolls is Mother Nature's choice for the cultivation of the world's purest and most sought-after gem: the Tahitian Cultured Pearl. The warm lagoons of many of the islands are among the most perfect on earth because of the temperature, density, salinity, light, and pure climate.

Commonly known as black pearls, Tahitian Cultured Pearls range widely in pricing, size, shape and colors. From the darkest black to shimmering shades of green, blue, bronze, aubergine, or even pink - these are truly the jewels of the ocean.

Shopping for Pearls
This is the best place in the world to shop for pearls. With first-hand expertise and an infinite selection from pearl shops, visitors quickly discover that part of any vacation to Tahiti should include the purchase of pearl keepsakes.

Every island has pearl experts who can show all price ranges, sizes, and shapes as well as ideas for custom jewelry. Pearls can also be bought individually for mounting by your home jeweler.
