7 Islands in Tahiti to Explore ...

1. Tahiti

Tahiti is the main Tahitian island. It is the largest and it is very beautiful with mountains and large waterfalls. If you go to Tahiti, you can stay at one of the resorts and dine at fantastic restaurants. You can also shop at the outdoor market, Le Marché, which has local crafts, vanilla, flowers, and fruit. Of course, you can always enjoy the ocean by hanging out at the beach or snorkeling in one of the lagoons. As fabulous as this big island is, it is only one of the many islands in Tahiti you can explore.

2. Moorea

Moorea is also known as the Magic Island, which may be explained by its magical appearance. It has tall green mountains that jut out from the island. Moorea is home to many pineapple plantations, and if you go there, you won’t want to miss out on trying their fantastic pineapple, which is incredibly sweet. You also won’t want to miss out on a chance to swim with the dolphins, which you can do at the Moorea Dolphin Center.

3. Huahine

Huahine is more rugged and remote than some of the other Tahitian islands. It has 8 small villages, and life moves at a slower pace. If you are into history or archeology, Huahine is a wonderful place to travel to, because it has pre-European temples and ancient royal sites that you can explore on archeological tours.

4. Tikehau

Tikehau is a beautiful atoll that has pink sand beaches. Not only will you love lounging on the pink beaches, but if you love fishing, you will be in heaven. The lagoon is abundant with fish, which makes catching one almost guaranteed. If fishing isn’t your thing, you can also snorkel, dive, or jet sky.

5. Fakarava

Fakarava is a relatively untouched island that has rare birds, plants, and crustaceans. The creatures and plants of this island are so rare that the island is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Visiting this small island will give you the opportunity to explore a rare and diverse ecosystem. Of course, you will also have plenty of opportunities to lay on the beach and enjoy the beauty.

6. Manihi

Manihi has crystal clear lagoons that were once filled with mother of pearl. It is also the site of the first black pearl farm in Tahiti. Manihi is still the leading supplier of Tahitian cultured pearls, and it even has a museum devoted to pearls. Aside from looking at all the beautiful pearls, you can also walk along the coral paths and view the colorful homes of the 769 inhabitants.

7. Bora Bora

Bora Bora is known as the Romantic Island, and for good reason. It has white sand beaches, fantastic resorts, and wonderful restaurants. While you are there you can feed stingrays or go snorkeling and see tropical fish in the coral reefs. You can also take sunset cruises.
