Tahiti and French Polynesia. Islands of endless delight. Ambrosia for the soul. Provenance of legends. Against the backdrop of azure waters dappled with warm, glowing sunlight, the South Pacific is an allegory for those celebrated aesthetic qualities that artists, writers, and philosophers sought to capture when they described the world’s last natural paradise. The people display an open warmth that is unfeigned and purely natural. Crowned by the two highest peaks in Polynesia, robed in luxuriant flora and skirted by black velvet sands and pink coral reefs, Tahiti needs no enhancements to be called the Queen of the Pacific. Come. Experience what the artist Paul Gaugin described as “the delightful land beyond imagination.
Bora Bora. James Michener described it as “the most beautiful island in the world.” An outrigger canoe, paddled by a young Polynesian boy, glides by, heading toward the village of Vaitape. A pod of playful dolphins escorts a ship into the harbor, where the huge chisel-like bulk of Mount Otemanu looms in the background. On a safari into the lush plantations and forests of the interior, you discover that no one has ever been able to climb to the top of Otemanu. Amid twining vines and hanging orchid stems, your expert guide shows you ancient archaeological sites containing the remnants of a petroglyph. Snorkel and swim in the bluest of lagoons where you will be greeted by hundreds of neon-bright fish. Michener was right - this is an enchanted island!
