| Many
consider Tahiti and her surrounding islands to
be the epitome of tropical, an ideal honeymoon
setting. Including Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea and
others, these islands are known for dramatic landscapes,
bright blue waters that support about every water
sport you can think of, Polynesian culture, World
War II history and truly getting away from it
all. About 80% of the islands' visitors are honeymooners,
but fortunately there are plenty of uninhabited
motus (islets) for all. |

The different islands have much in common, so how
do you choose?
Reasons
to choose Tahiti: Overwater bungalow accommodations,
consistent weather, access to all kinds of watersports,
beautiful scenery, and a bit of French flair mixed
in with Polynesian hospitality. One of the best places
to be dropped off for an all day picnic on an uninhabited
islet. Overall a very romantic, beautiful place.
Reasons
to choose someplace else: 7.5 hour flight from
LA, if you like a cosmopolitan buzz, if you'd rather
not see other honeymooners, or if you are not beach
or water sport people.
