Intl Tahiti Faaa

The island is comprised of two large volcanic mountains: Tahiti Nui, which is the largest; and Tahiti Iti, the smaller peninsula. Papeete is the capital city of the island and also the name of the international airport that services the thousands of tourists that visit this amazing location each and every year. Although, it is quite an arduous journey for many travellers it is always worth the trip. Anyone looking to escape the trials and tribulations of life and just kick back and relax should come for a Tahiti holiday. The Tahitian people are one of the main reasons that this island is such a popular tourist destination. Obviously, the island itself is absolutely stunning, but the friendly and welcoming manner of the locals just makes your vacation that much more enjoyable. Tahitians are extremely laid back and they will always supply you with a big smile and a welcoming hello even if you have never met them before. It is this friendly and happy demeanour that brings many travellers back for second and third visits to this tropical destination.

There are a number of different routes that you can take to get to Tahiti, but as most visitors come from the United States or Europe they will generally travel via Los Angeles to get there. The airport in Papeete is only small, so it is advisable to make your flight reservation as early as you possibly can. By doing this you will give yourself the very best chance of obtaining the dates that you require for the price that you are happy to pay. It is especially important to make your reservations early if you are looking to travel of peak dates such as Christmas, Easter or the school summer holidays, these dates can be extremely busy. The majority of visitors to this delightful tropical island come to spoil themselves, thus there is a fantastic array of lavish accommodation. Your main problem will be deciding which to stay at! There are many differently styled properties to choose from, but the over-water bungalows are truly amazing. Obviously, the main tourist attractions of Tahiti are the stunning white sandy beaches and the lush green scenery. However, if you are looking for something a little more adventurous then there are a number of Tahiti tours that you and your family or partner can take. One of these tours centres around taking a trip to Motu, allowing you to have your own personal desert island to yourself for the whole day. Or if you would prefer, why not take one of the many snorkelling boat trips on offer or even try some surfing lessons. The options really are endless and your hotel concierge will be able to point you in the right direction if you are struggling to find what you need. As with any tropical island there are drier and wetter times of the year to visit. The high season, or dry season, falls between May and October. The busiest months of the year are definitely July and August, and it is advisable to avoid January if you can as it does tend to be the wettest month of the year. And, as with any tropical island, you will normally get rain all year round so if you are looking for a bargain you can still travel during the off season and you may get lucky with the weather!
