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.
Tahiti covers over two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and is comprised of 118 islands spread over five great archipelagos.
Many islands are crowned with jagged peaks while others appear to barely float above the breaking waves. Spread over an area as large as Western Europe, the total land mass of all the islands adds up to an area only slightly larger than the tiny state of Rhode Island.
The three archipelagos most sought by visitors are the Society Islands, comprised of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha'a; The Tuamotu Atolls or "Tahiti's Strand of Pearls", include the atolls of Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava; and the Marquesas, or "The Mysterious Islands."
The two other archipelagos, the Austral Islands and the Gambier Islands, lie to the south and the southeast, respectively, of the Society Islands. While very few travelers venture to these remote islands, those that do are not disappointed by the pristine environment. 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. 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).
