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.

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler
