Product Description
This guide to Tahiti and French Polynesia offers the best of the area's 118 islands and atolls that comprise the island groups of the Society Islands, the Marquesas, Australs, Tuamotu, and Gambier Islands. Discover the charming capital of Papeete, with its high-end resorts and modestly-priced oceanfront bungalows, terrific restaurants and varied water and land sports. Explore the island of Tahiti's verdant countryside and incomparable beaches. From your base in Tahiti, take a fast ferry 30 minutes away to Moorea for the day, or fly to Bora Bora or visit the peaceful atoll of Tetiaroa that Marlon Brando calls home. A wide range of lodgings and restaurants across all price ranges is given, and the author includes a special section for honeymooners. A brief Tahitian language glossary is also included, as is Open Road's standard "Best Places to Stay" chapter, travel planning information and detailed historical and cultural background.
