10 good reasons to travel to Tahiti this summer

Some people have the mistaken idea that traveling to French Polynesia is all about sun and beach. And yet, there are many things to do and see. Tahiti is not just about sunbathing, it's also about gastronomy, wildlife... it's about hiking. In any case, here are 10 reasons to travel to Tahiti this summer.

Monoï for natural beauty

The monoï is a Tahitian oil with many virtues. For those who appreciate natural beauty above all else, this oil will nourish your skin and care for dry, dehydrated hair.

Discover Fa'aroa by kayak

Tahiti isn't all about sunbathing. For those who like to take to the open sea, don't worry, there's a navigable river to discover: Fa'aroa. Embark on a kayak with Tahitians and learn more about their culture.

Polynesian gastronomy

Tahitian gastronomy is generally referred to as epicurean pleasure. It has nothing to envy of Western cuisine. The dish that will surely not leave you unmoved is fafaru . This atypical dish owes its reputation not only to the perfume it distills, but also to its extraordinary taste. It's a blend of fresh fish, ginger, fresh herbs and sweet coconut.

Defying the Teahuppo wave

If you're a thrill-seeker, you won't be disappointed: this giant, overpowering wave will get your adrenaline pumping, and it's up to you to prove that you've got the nerve. You'll find it south of Tahiti.

A mild climate

The climate in Polynesia is very mild. It fluctuates year-round between 20 and 30 degrees. It's the perfect climate for sunbathing.

Flirting with animals

Tahiti is pure wilderness, with skies full of birds singing their hearts out. It's also the ideal place to meet the whales that shake the ocean with their tails.

The ahima'a show

To enjoy wild pig and breadfruit, as well as poulet faf and poé, there's only one place to go: ahima'a. Tahitians cook dishes at low temperatures to concentrate their flavors. You're in for both a show and a treat.

Explore Brando

Marlon Brando's private island is quite simply a paradise on earth, home to one of the world's most beautiful hotels. Fascinating wildlife, protected flora and 35 luxury villas.

Tame the pineapple trail

You can do this on foot, or for the less athletic, on horseback. It's an excellent hike from Mount Rotul . You'll also enjoy breathtaking views.

The beauty of the landscape

As well as beaches, coconut palms and white sand, you can also enjoy black sand, turquoise waters and the Pointe de Venus. And don't forget the spectacular waterfalls for a swim.
