The most exotic places on earth are located in the South Pacific islands. Lives have been transformed by these secluded, pristine places. From tranquil and romantic to exciting and new age, the sun shines brightest in this part of the world, the food tastes better, the birds sing louder and your joy will be deeper. Some of our favorites in the Society Islands of the South Pacific are Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine Taiatea, Tahaa -The Vanilla Island and Bora Bora, but don’t miss other regional favorites like Fiji and Turtle Island.
No where on earth will you find more romance and privacy than in an over water bungalow in Bora Bora or enjoy your time at a luxury hotel and resort. Either way, the crystal blue waters will call to you. Snorkel and dive, canoe or hit the water on jet skis.
