I love putting together Tahiti vacations not just because of it's mystic and extraordinary beauty but also because it is often for a customer's special occasion or a bucket list trip and hearing their excitement as the components merge and their vacation takes shape is heart warming. It's also one of those places that just about guarantees a customer a fantastic trip.

Tahiti lives up to it's reputation because:

- The stunning scenery of white sand beaches, turquoise waters and spectacular steep and jagged mountain in the backdrop.

- Beautiful islands surrounded by barrier reefs, the sound of crashing waves and crystal clear lagoons.

- Gorgeous (safe) hikes through the jungles and up mountain sides with jaw dropping views.

- Snorkeling and diving into cities of fish and beautiful stunning corals. Friendly eagle rays, manta rays and black tip sharks that swim harmlessly by. Underwater paradise.

- Endless tour opportunities above and below water.

- Some of the best seafood I have experienced featuring raw tuna and ceviche.

- Friendly and welcoming locals with fun performances and an interesting culture. 

I have put together over 250 Tahiti Vacations, ranging from 7 to 14 night cruises, often with a few nights in an overwater bungalow in a gorgeous resort.

However, Tahiti is for everyone and there are less pricey, authentic resorts with snorkeling right off their beautiful beaches in busy and remote locations.

I have been to Tahiti twice.

The first time for our 25th Wedding Anniversary where my wife and I stayed in overwater bungalows in Moorea and Bora Bora, either side of a 7 night island hopping cruise. 

The second time we took our daughter for a pre-medical school vacation. Same itinerary except we stayed in small three star resorts where beach bungalows ran around $350 a night, instead of overwater bungalows from $1,200+ per night.

For a short visit, if I had to choose between a one night stay in Papeete pre-cruise and a 7 night cruise, or a few nights in a resort on a couple of islands, I would choose the first option. Every island is unique and beautiful. You would not be seeing Tahiti at its best staying in just one ro two resorts.

Now, if you have more time for a longer cruise or cruise and resort stay, that would be ideal for what is a bucket list trip for many folks.

I am planning to go back to Tahiti in July of 2026 with a group for a seven night cruise with reduced rates and additional perks.

I can advise on flights, transfers, excursions and your pre and or post cruise hotel or resorts. Whenever you would like to go and whatever you would like to do, I am here for you and assure that you will be in the best and most caring hands working with me.
