The Alluring Islands of French Polynesia

Nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, French Polynesia comprises more than 100 islands scattered across five archipelagos. Each island possesses its unique charm, with Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea being the crown jewels of this tropical paradise. Tahiti, the largest island, is often the starting point for custom holiday trips to Tahiti, inviting visitors with its lush landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

While exploring Tahiti, venture into the bustling markets of Papeete, the island’s capital, where you’ll find an array of local handicrafts, exotic fruits, and fragrant vanilla. For a deeper cultural immersion, partake in a traditional Polynesian feast, known as a ‘Tamaaraa,’ and experience the heartfelt hospitality that defines the islanders.

Unforgettable Experiences Await

With personalized travel packages in Tahiti, you can tailor your adventure to suit your interests. Dive into the crystal-clear lagoons of Bora Bora, renowned for their vibrant marine life and stunning coral gardens, making it a diver's dream. If relaxation is your aim, unwind in an overwater bungalow where the sea is literally at your doorstep, offering unparalleled views of the azure waters and fiery sunsets.

For those seeking culture, Moorea beckons with its dramatic mountain vistas and laid-back charm. Here, you can explore ancient marae — sacred temples that offer a glimpse into the island's storied past. The island’s rugged terrain is perfect for a guided trek or a quad-biking adventure that takes you through pineapple plantations and to panoramic viewpoints offering breathtaking vistas.

Culinary Delights

No trip to French Polynesia would be complete without indulging in its culinary offerings. The cuisine is a delightful fusion of Polynesian, Asian, and French influences, with fresh seafood taking center stage. Sample 'poisson cru,' a Tahitian specialty of raw fish marinated in coconut milk and lime, or enjoy savory 'mahi mahi' prepared with local herbs and spices.

For an authentic culinary experience, consider joining a cooking class where you can learn to prepare traditional dishes using locally sourced ingredients. This not only enriches your understanding of the local culture but also allows you to take a piece of Tahiti back home in the form of new culinary skills.

Practical Travel Tips

  • Best Time to Visit: April to October is ideal for dry and cooler weather, perfect for outdoor activities.
  • Getting Around: Consider inter-island flights or ferries to explore multiple islands at a leisurely pace.
  • Health Precautions: Sun protection is essential; wear sunscreen, hats, and UV-protective clothing to safeguard against the tropical sun.

With its mesmerizing beauty and cultural richness, French Polynesia is more than just a destination; it’s a journey that captivates the soul. When you embark on trips to Tahiti, you are not just visiting an island but entering a world where the allure of nature seamlessly blends with age-old traditions.

Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or cultural exploration, French Polynesia awaits with open arms, ready to offer a personalized travel experience that will leave you yearning for more. So why wait? Let the islands' magic inspire your next journey and create memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

As a travel agent, it was very easy to work with Goway. They were very responsive, especially Osvaldo Gonzalez, even when the client wanted to make in-destination changes a day or two prior. My clients absolutely enjoyed everything about their trip to Costa Rica - they specifically mentioned that all the drivers and guides they had were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Goway again for a custom trip to Costa Rica. Shawna Woods Roy

We, three couples, all enjoyed our time in Peru, despite the small amount of time we had, and the fact one person had injury while on the cruise prior to arriving in Lima. We did want to experience Machu Picchu without spending as many days as others usually do, since we had been traveling prior to that already. Kajal at Goway was able to tailor a well packed three-day private tour for our small group of six. Every detail, from the moment we got off the cruise ship, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu, and back to Lima airport hotel, was well taken care of. Kajal was very efficient in helping with the requested itinerary, and in staying on desired budget, as well answered all questions in timely fashion. We were able to accomplish what we were not sure if possible, all thanks to Kajal at Goway. Our experience in Peru was very positive. We felt the tours organized by Goway had enabled us to have great and impressive exposure to Peruvian culture and important historical sights - all 31 hours in 3 days!!! Condor Travel in Peru took care of us every step of the way. Every person we came across was very courteous, willing, and helpful. Help was always there and questions answered quickly via Whatsapp. All in all a great and positive experience we would highly recommend.KM

I want to personally thank my Travel Agent Alice Teramoto who organized two spectacular trips for me! One to Australia and most recently Vietnam and Cambodia. She nailed it! I can’t express my gratitude enough! Both trips were flawless and hassle free! Every experience exceeded my expectations! I spent my 60th Birthday in Vietnam on the Lunar New Year which was a complete thrill! I highly recommend Alice and will definitely book with her again soon! Thanks so much Alice ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Avril

Mary G. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I partner with Goway often for Europe and typically have my go to rep, so stepping outside of that for a New Zealand itinerary had me a little unsure at first. That hesitation quickly disappeared. Mary stepped in with confidence, handled all of my moving pieces with ease, and truly understood the level of detail I needed to take care of my clients. She delivered a beautifully curated itinerary that exceeded expectations, and most importantly, my clients had an incredible experience in New Zealand. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to working together again.Nichole Pierce

Joanna was amazing!!! She was able to set up a ten day trip for me in Sydney in a matter of a couple of weeks. All accommodation and tours were amazing and the 24 hour help center was great and where able to call up the tour company and have them come and still pick be up when I had a mixup with the reservation. Would definitely recommend Goway to any friends and family and will definitely be using them again.Erica Wolff

I cannot sing Erin’s praises enough! She planned an action-packed two-week New Zealand itinerary that hit every single stop on our bucket list. Every experience was truly first-class and luxurious. While I found myself being price-conscious initially, once I saw the incredible quality of the experiences she curated, I knew it was going to be the trip of a lifetime. A huge thank you to Erin and Go Way Travel for making my 50th birthday so epic. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our next big adventure!Michelle

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable
