South
Pacific
Tahiti and Her Islands are what you've
always imagined the South Seas to be - an idyllic getaway from the
stress of the modern world, resembling heaven more than earth. The
palm-fringed beaches of Bora Bora are the perfect launch into the
striking coral reefs, abundant with colorful marine life. Moorea's
deep and spectacular bays are surrounded by green-covered mountains
that rise from the bottom of the sea, and the panorama from Belvedere
Lookout is breathtaking. Tahiti, the largest island, is for the
person who wants to try a little of everything that the modern and
natural worlds have to offer.
On all the islands, you can spend endless
days snorkeling and diving, or swimming side-by-side with turtles
and manta rays. Feel the cooling breeze in your hair as you parasail
or jet ski. Check out the local markets for original art, pearls
and wooden carvings. Sample fine dining with influences from France
and the South Pacific, and stay in accommodations ranging from exquisite
beachside resorts to intimate bungalows. No matter which island
you visit, you'll find the same untouched environment that inspired
the great paintings of Gauguin, and countless others.
************************************
Did
You Know?
Just a few hundred yards from the main island of Bora Bora, the
private island of Motu Tapu is the most photographed isle in the
South Pacific. Often described as the world's most perfect place
to relax, the legendary Motu Tapu is the ultimate romantic escape.
The great impressionist painter Paul Gauguin lived and worked in
Tahiti during the 1890's. The unspoiled surroundings of Tahiti and
its gracious inhabitants were the subjects of, and the inspiration
for, his paintings.
