Tahiti's Journeys of Flower ingreen

Sea water from the deep waters of the oceans is used in the InterContinental Resort of Bora Bora. Tahiti has some of the most unspoilt shores in the South Pacific. Travellers have been attracted by the island's post-card locations and those of its French-Polynesian colleagues such as Bora Bora Bora Bora for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, Tahiti can be very costly. However, Air Tahiti Nui has been providing special rates and rebates for a year. Luckily, for those disconnected from the Piña Kolada scenery, large parts of the islands are practically unspoilt and deserted.

In particular, this applies to the hilly stretches of land and on the small Tahiti Iti promontory (Little Tahiti). However, the isle has a good infra-structure and the small tourism is lively and good. Tahiti, along with the fact that the wilderness inside the South Pacific offers some of the best and most amenable ecotourism trips, is an appealing and almost convenient tourist area.

Featuring a vibrant indigenous grocery store - if you know where to look - and environmentally friendlier places to sleep, the islands are more green than many similar main-stream resorts. An intersection between a freight truck and a passengers coach, the colourfully ornamented car ferries take natives (and anyone who can make the price of $2) from village to village around the isle and between the main attractions in the capital Papeete.

Bikes and bikes can be hired on the beach for much less than the $100 day-hire. There is more to Tahiti and its Sisters' Islets than just a contingent of high-end resort locations. The Vanira Lodge, a group of thatched cottages in less touristic Tahiti Iti, is one of the best places to sleep.

Environmentally sound properties are even applied to the deluxe resortsector. The InterContinental Estate of Bora Bora provides wealthy people with the opportunity to spend the night in deluxe above-water shelters. Tahiti's Intercontinental regularly supports Te Mana o te Moana, a nature protection organisation dedicated to the protection of wild animals and the ecosystem of Polynesia.

Dining cars known as rollot are the least expensive way to eat. They' re found in the evenings along the promenade in Papeete. Papeete's main square, Marche Papeete, is a great place to find local fruit and veg. Orohena is one of the most remarkable mountains on the islands top. There are numerous walking paths and itineraries.

The Fautaua Valley has even more breathtaking falls, cliffs and a marked shortage of people. Iti Tahiti, the peninsula of the Isle of Tahiti, offers more challenging hikes, but is a rewarding place for those who want to experience the wildlife of the Isle.

Tahiti's outermost tip is the last place on the Tahiti where tourists can find pristine coastlines with shores that are only inshore. Tahiti Evasion is a firm that provides one-day walking tours to these places. Moorea is only a few minute drive by ferry from Papeete.

It is easily accessible by boat or disaster boat, making it a favourite destination for Tahiti visitors. It is more rustic and less touristic than Tahiti, with large areas squatted with farmhouses and living in the area, which is not hindered by the tourism world. The Moorea has the same kind of footpaths as Tahiti and a breathtaking summit, Mouaputa, which attracts climbers.

The Tahiti is pricey, especially for those who are not looking for the traditional tropic holiday of a lifetime. But it' s simple to get out of the fast-paced tourism world and get bogged down in some of the most pristine Pacific scenery. And of course you can still enjoy the luxuries that have made Tahiti so popular, and once you've decided on a verdant destination, you won't have to think too much about the ecological effects that your indulgence has on the area.
