What makes The Islands of Tahiti perfect for romantic vacations?

Natural Bliss

Bora Bora beach

The South Pacific nation of French Polynesia has an enviable natural environment. Sandy beaches encircle forested islands, coral reefs lie just a few metres beneath the blue waves, and friendly people welcome visitors to experience the pleasures of their island home. The weather is warm throughout the year, with little temperature variation between summer and winter, so you’re in for a comfortable escape no matter when you visit. Swimming, snorkelling, suntanning, jungle hikes and long nights at the beach—The Islands of Tahiti are perfect for all these. Natural bliss is a guarantee. All you have to do is show up.

Accommodations Fit for Royalty

Overwater bungalow in Tahiti

The overwater bungalow is one of the most luxurious accommodation styles in the entire world. Your hotel room for the night is a private bungalow set atop a turquoise lagoon. When you open your door, you need only take a few steps and you’re right in the water. You can have breakfast delivered by outrigger canoe in the morning, spend the night on your private patio enjoying the views of the stars, and sleep each night in a massive bed with the sound of the waves providing your calming music right outside the door. This is what good living looks like and it all started in The Islands of Tahiti, which remains the iconic home of the ultimate way to stay in the tropics. Overwater bungalows are available throughout The Islands of Tahiti, including on Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahaa, so you’re not lacking for options for this luxurious accommodation experience.

Romantic Nights

The days are full of possibility on a trip to The Islands of Tahiti, but the nights are no slouch. There’s romance and charm and more than a little magic in the islands once the sun goes down. Mark the transition from day to night with a sunset cruise or a glass of champagne on the beach, watching the sun fall into the ocean. Book a candlelit dinner on a private beach or enjoy gourmet cuisine at a resort restaurant. Hang out on your overwater bungalow balcony, or stroll out onto the sands to watch the stars and witness the world beneath the waves come alive. The romantic atmosphere in The Islands of Tahiti is hard to beat.

A Touch of Adventure

Diving in Tahiti

Just because you’ll want to spend most of your time relaxing on the sandy beaches or unwinding with massages and wellness treatments at the resort doesn’t mean The Islands of Tahiti are lacking for adventure. Quite the opposite, actually! There’s a lot to activate your adrenaline by land and sea, from rugged explorations by ATV to some soft adventure beneath the waves. Snorkel alongside sea turtles and reef sharks through coral reefs. Book an ATV tour across the mountainsides of Bora Bora and visit old bunkers leftover from World War II. Go sailing or book a jet-ski for an afternoon. Relaxing on the beach just hits better after a day of soft adventure.

The Islands of Tahiti is your dream destination for honeymoon, romance, and an exclusive vacation in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. If you’re dreaming about romance and rest and relaxation, start planning your escape.

The iconic Poisson Cru must be tried while in French Polynesia - it is raw fish marinated in lime juice and coconut milk - so good!

The Food - Polynesian cuisine is based upon using top quality fresh local produce and both savory and sweet dishes often flavored with vanilla or coconut milk. It's surprising to hear many of the perishable ingredients that go into your meals are flown in from various other international countries, and yet, can still taste so fresh and exquisite.

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC
