Tahiti? Why not?

The kids are grown and gone, the mortgage is paid off and it is winter! For the first time you are free to let reality and fantasy trade places with thoughts of lush faraway places. And now it’s your turn.

Staring at my bookshelf the other day, one volume stood out. “Mutiny On The Bounty”! A tale of sea going excitement and bravado through the breath taking South Pacific.

Ah, why not an adventure to the islands of French Polynesia, to Tahiti and the Society Islands. And what better way to do it than by modern cruise ship. The delightfully informal and un-regimented way of life emulated on board a luxury vessel!

Fortunately, the tribulations of Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh will not accompany you on your journey. Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, Windstar Cruises and Princess Cruises can be your passport to this place of exquisite passion and beauty.

Radisson’s m/s Paul Gauguin, named after one of France’s greatest painters, is dedicated to Tahiti and the surrounding islands where he spent much of his most productive years. In fact, Gauguin is quoted as saying, “I have come to an unalterable decision – to go and live forever in Polynesia”.

In the 1890’s, it took Paul Gauguin two months to reach Tahiti. Today you can reach your beautiful ship in just seven and a half hours from Los Angeles – only two more hours than flying to Hawaii.

A visit to the ship’s “Fare Tahiti Gallery”, filled with books and videos on the history and culture of Polynesia will introduce you to the islands’ colorful heritage. On board lecturers and exciting folklore shows featuring the arts of the islands are given on board to enhance your dream vacation. Each cruise will bring the post card beauty right to your cabin door.

You can experience an electrifying performance of ote’a – a complex line dance accompanied by drums telling the ancestral legends of the Polynesian people. Or, imagine yourself taking a lesson in the technique of paddling an outrigger canoe (it’s easy once you know the secret!)

The Tahitians, renowned for their health, physical beauty and spiritual serenity are more than familiar with the medicinal and cosmetic benefits of the plants and flowers of their islands and aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin you are offered an environment that is equally conducive to health, beauty and happiness.

The beautiful on board pool invites you to an early morning dip and the fitness center features a full range of exercise equipment and health spa to provide the spoiling you have waited so long to indulge in.

Imagine a ship, which is more your private yacht, hosting only 300 guests and taking you through the reefs of Tuamotu Archipelago, renowned for world class diving. The ship’s small size and shallow draft allows it to navigate shallow shimmering lagoons and narrow channels where larger vessels cannot go.

My favorite feature (in addition to the fine French cuisine and complimentary wines with dinner) is the specially designed, retractable water sports platform at the aft of the ship which takes you down to sea level to hop aboard a Windsurfer, launch a kayak, try a little water skiing or don snorkeling or scuba gear to explore underwater adventures in pristine waters.

Ready to eat! Did I mention that the m/s Paul Gauguin features French and continental fare with menus inspired by two-star Michelin chefs served in open dining, allowing you to eat and sit with whom you want, when you want and where you want. Not only do you have your choice of two elegant restaurants, but also an outdoor grill and 24 hour complimentary room service.

Your cabin is spacious and as relaxing as the gentle trade winds wafting through your open window. Freshly picked tropical flowers spill out of a vase competing for your gaze with the view from your private verandah.

In addition to Radisson, Princess Cruises offers 10-Day Polynesia/Cook Islands, and 10-day Polynesia/Marquesas Islands aboard the Tahitian Princess and 29-day Hawaii/Tahiti/South Pacific aboard the new Diamond Princess. Many of these Tahiti cruises have overnight stays at the ports of call!

Tahiti is my favorite part of this wonderful planet we call home. Now is the time for you to enjoy the sky and sea in harmony with the magnificent and sensuous sights of Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Raiatea, Moorea and the Marquesas, all inclusive, and you unpack only once and awake to find a new piece of paradise at your doorstep each morning.

Sailing the beautiful French Polynesian Islands is like stepping into one of Gauguin’s paintings, only better, because you’re free to move around.

A Dream Honeymoon In Tahiti

Edit Article |

Posted: Nov 09, 2007 |Comments: 0
|



It is the dream of every couple to celebrate their honeymoon in a memorable as well as unique way. Honeymoon is regarded as a newly weds’ first step towards the marriage life. However, honeymoon is not only for newly weds but also for the couples married years back. No other destination in the world would be better than the South Pacific’s French Polynesia, popularly known by the name of its main island Tahiti, for an unforgettable honeymoon.


Tahiti is an incomparably romantic destination on the earth, and is regarded as a perfect spot to renew marriage vows and celebrate wedding anniversaries. Often referred to as the ‘Island of Love,’ Tahiti, along with its 117 islands, provides the ultimate romantic getaway. From its main island Tahiti and much celebrated Bora Bora to the exotic Moorea and Rangiroa, each of the Tahitian islands is exceptional, and is shrouded in legends.


With its intoxicating settings consisting of green valleys filled with aromatic flowers, long stretches of beautiful white sandy beaches, quiet motus (islets), sparkling blue lagoons, and much more, Tahiti offers superb options for an enjoyable honeymoon. Probably, the prime reason that makes Tahiti and her islands a unique destination would be its seclusion. Endowed with cherished resorts, tiny tranquil villages, and isolated pristine beaches, Tahiti provides ultimate seclusion.


Another specialty that Tahitian islands offer for honeymooners and newly weds is over-water bungalows, built across the turquoise lagoon waters. These thatched-roof bungalows offer all facilities and amenities that a first class hotel or resort renders.


If you want to make your honeymoon truly special, then start it with a wedding conducted in traditional Tahitian style. Likewise, take a honeymoon cruise through the legendary South Pacific aboard super yachts, bareboat, freighter passenger, or top-end cruise ships with staterooms featuring private deck and superb meals, to experience the incredible beauty of the French Polynesian Islands.


Additionally, to spend a relaxed as well as enjoyable time with your better half, one of the best options would be take a pampering Polynesian spa while experiencing the tropical ambience. During your honeymoon in Tahiti, an array of activities can be enjoyed here, which among many others, are scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, boating, safaris, shopping, and hiking.


Above all, an important aspect of a Tahitian honeymoon is the warmness of the people found here. The natives of French Polynesia are proud of their islands as well as culture, and are always eager to share them with the honeymooners and other tourists visiting the islands. Further, they always greet with you a smile.


One of the much famed destinations for celebrating honeymoon in French Polynesia is Tahiti, the largest among the 118 French Polynesian islands, which is home to Papeete – the bustling capital city and attractions like the Gauguin Museum. Located about 11 miles northwest of Tahiti is yet another popular honeymoon destination, Moorea – an awe-inspiring 51-square-mile island with a host of attractions including Tiki village. Acknowledged as the ‘Jewel of the South Seas,’ Bora Bora also provides an unforgettable ambience for honeymoons. Other islands in French Polynesia such as Raiatea, Tahaa, Rangiroa, and Huahine also offer adventure and romance for honeymooners.


There are a myriad of upscale resorts and hotels in Tahiti to cater to all of your needs in order to make your honeymoon truly special and unforgettable. Many of these hotels offer elegantly appointed rooms with comfortable beds, bath facilities, private balconies, and luxurious amenities including plasma TV with satellite and internet connections, apart from providing elegant views of the surroundings. In contrast to many hotels that share large lagoon, there are some high-end hotels that are situated on their own islands, thereby providing ultimate in privacy and exclusivity.


In addition, many resorts and hotels offer superb value packages for an enjoyable honeymoon, which are also sometimes customized according to couples’ specifications. In most cases, honeymoon packages are inclusive of five to seven unforgettable days in Tahiti, ocean view rooms with Jacuzzi, economy flights with Air Tahiti Nui, and facilities for island hopping.


In some instances, packages are crafted with all land transfers in Tahiti and Bora Bora, American breakfast, and romantic dinner. If you are well-heeled and can spend lavishly for your Tahitian honeymoon, then choose such packages designed with roundtrip airfare from the US on Air Tahiti Nui, superb spa facilities, cruising, romantic candlelit dinner, private airport transfers, and inter-island air transfers on Air Tahiti. These packages would be much affordable if they are booked in advance of the departure dates.


Apart from these, a continuum of tour operators is also in the scenario to help you in making your honeymoon in Tahiti truly memorable. All you have to do is to inform them in advance your likes and dislikes, and how many days would you like to spend in Tahiti. With just a click of mouse, you can easily do this.


So, this time come and renew your marriage vows in the Tahitian islands, each of which is really a tiny paradise on earth.

Tahiti in Fiction & Film with colorful subject matter

Edit Article |

Posted: Sep 24, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>

Over the years, Tahiti and Polynesia have provided novelists and moviemakers with colorful subject matter. Early travelers told of wanton women on tropical shores, and Fletcher Christian added drama to the plot by leading a mutiny against the tyrannical Captain Bligh.
In 1934 American writers Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall brought out the Bounty Trilogy. This three-part novel deals with Christian’s mutiny on the Bounty, the escape of Bligh and his loyal crew members to Dutch Timor, and the colonization of Pitcairn Island by Christian and his fellow mutineers.
The novel was an instant bestseller, and director Frank Lloyd soon made it into a movie, Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable. In keeping with the mood of his time, the mutiny was presented as a simplistic struggle between good and evil, and the film won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1935.
A generation later Marlon Brando flew down to Tahiti to star in a blockbuster remake of Mutiny on the Bounty. MGM’s 1962 production is still considered the most spectacular film ever made in the South Pacific, in part due to the glorious scenery of Tahiti and Bora Bora. Thousands of Tahitian extras appeared in the film, and Brando married his first lady, Tarita Teriipaia.

In 1984, yet another version of The Bounty was released, with Sir Anthony Hopkins as a resolute Bligh and Mel Gibson as an ambiguous Christian. Of the three Bounty films, this is probably the most historically accurate, and it’s certainly the one with the greatest psychological depth. It was largely filmed in Moorea’s Opunohu Bay.

Another Nordhoff and Hall novel, The Hurricane, has been brought to the silver screen twice. John Hall’s 1937 film portrays a young couple fleeing a despotic governor. In 1978 Dino de Laurentiis reshot The Hurricane on Bora Bora, with Mia Farrow and Trevor Howard. The resort built to house de Laurentiis’ crew still exists as the Sofitel Marara.

British novelist W. Somerset Maugham also had close ties to the South Pacific. In 1943 Albert Lewin filmed The Moon and Sixpence, Maugham’s fictionalized account of Paul Gauguin’s life in Polynesia. The nonconformist painter’s incompatibility with French colonial life provided Maugham with a pretext to explore the role of the artist in society. Another famous Maugham story, Rain, set in Samoa, has been made into a movie several times.

Other well-known authors who have popularized the legend of Tahiti include Herman Melville, Pierre Loti, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, Rupert Brooke, and James A. Michener. Their stories, plays, and films have helped create the myth of a South Seas paradise. And even today, Tahiti and Polynesia beckon to romantics wishing to live their
Share of the dream.

Cruising In Tahiti
Intimate yet Luxurious. Uncrowded yet Dramatic.

Cruising is redefined in Tahitian waters where you embark on a voyage to explore these romantic and unspoiled isles of the South Pacific.

Here, the ports-of-call are uncrowned and charming, the ships are smaller and luxurious, the neon-blue waters within the lagoons are calm, and the ocean journey between the bright-green islands is short.

This is Tahaiti,welcome to the destination of your dreams

Water Activities
Floating atop the water playground of the lagoons, each ship offers unending activities for couples and families. A sampling of daily activities include jet skiing, windsurfing, waterskiing, parasailing, canoeing, diving, shark feeding, and snorkeling. Or hop on a glass-bottom boat, explore a lagoon, or even charter your own catamaran or powerboat for the day.

Shore-side Activities
Surrounded by lush-green peaks, each island welcomes exploration by 4×4 safari to dramatic overlooks, circle-island trips stopping off at fruit-tasting shops and historic sites, independent trips for shopping or walking through the villages, or guided hiking trips into the mountains for an overview of the land and ocean.

Unique Events
The Polynesian world abounds in sights, sounds, and experiences found nowhere else on earth and are easily discovered by cruise passengers. By day, live out your South Pacific fantasy when you anchor at a tiny motu for an afternoon of relaxation and fun. Or enjoy personalized tours of the historical and cultural sites hidden on each island. By night, enjoy the best Tahitian performers for elaborate and romantic displays of music and dance

TAHITI, often call the The Island of Love, cover over two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and is comprised of 118 islands spread over five great archipelagos Tahiti, the largest island throughout the country, towering over the ocean like a proud and royal Queen is appropriately crowned by a circle of majestic peaks.

Since the age of explorers Wallis, Bougainville, and Cook, legendary Tahiti has tickled imaginations worldwide. More recently, Tahiti became the most famous Polynesian island of all when Clark Gable (1935), Marlon Brando (1962), and Mel Gibson (1984) played the role of Fletcher Christian in three blockbuster Mutiny on the Bounty films. Even the horrendous French nuclear testing program from 1966-1996 did little to dampen this image.

For the modern traveler, there’s no getting around the fact that French Polynesia is expensive. Bora Bora is easily the most upscale tourist destination in the South Pacific with 17 resorts charging over US0 double a night without meals. Yet it’s also true that you can greatly reduce your costs if you book your top end hotel rooms as part of a package tour. Another option is to stay in small locally-operated pensions. Bora Bora has seven hostels and pensions in the US-100 range and Moorea has 11. On Moorea you can also camp.

Most visitors get around the islands by air, and Air Tahiti operates efficient services to 46 islands and atolls in French Polynesia. Here again, you can save money by purchasing one of Air Tahiti’s 28-day air passes. A Society Islands air pass will cost around US0, or US0 if you add on the Tuamotu Islands. The only interisland boat trip which is easy to do is Tahiti to Moorea which operates every two hours and costs US. Passenger-carrying cargo boats do ply from Tahiti to Bora Bora several times a week, but they’re basic and the overnight trip can be rough. If you want to experience the boat trip one way, you’re better off flying from Tahiti to Bora Bora and then returning to Tahiti by boat. I explain why in my guidebook, Moon Tahiti.

Car rentals in French Polynesia average US0 a day – expensive! Options include renting a bicycle instead of a car (on Moorea and Bora Bora) or traveling by le truck or public bus (on Tahiti). Four-wheel-drive safari tours are offered on all the main islands and these are also cheaper than renting a car. On Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, and Bora Bora, there are sightseeing tours by outrigger canoe.

When to go? May to October is the cooler, less humid time, although prolonged rainfall is possible yearround. An optimum time to be there is for the Heiva festival on Tahiti, Huahine, and Bora Bora in early July. Whatever, don’t miss attending at least one Island Night at a fancy resort for the wild tamure dancing and drumming. These happen several times a week. You can often avoid the high cost of the buffet by settling for a drink at the bar.

One thing you won’t encounter in French Polynesia – unless you spend most of your time at a large resort – is a tourist glut. French Polynesia gets only 200,000 tourists a year compared to the six million who visit Hawaii. Geographically, Tahiti is actually east of Hawaii, and the flight from Los Angeles to Tahiti takes only 7.5 hours, just 2.5 hours more than it takes to fly to Hawaii. My most memorable experience in French Polynesia? The cruise to the Marquesas Islands on the Aranui, something I hope to do again very soon.

Over the years, Tahiti and Polynesia have provided novelists and moviemakers with colorful subject matter. Early travelers told of wanton women on tropical shores, and Fletcher Christian added drama to the plot by leading a mutiny against the tyrannical Captain Bligh.

In 1934 American writers Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall brought out the Bounty Trilogy. This three-part novel deals with Christian’s mutiny on the Bounty, the escape of Bligh and his loyal crew members to Dutch Timor, and the colonization of Pitcairn Island by Christian and his fellow mutineers.

The novel was an instant bestseller, and director Frank Lloyd soon made it into a movie, Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable. In keeping with the mood of his time, the mutiny was presented as a simplistic struggle between good and evil, and the film won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1935.

A generation later Marlon Brando flew down to Tahiti to star in a blockbuster remake of Mutiny on the Bounty. MGM’s 1962 production is still considered the most spectacular film ever made in the South Pacific, in part due to the glorious scenery of Tahiti and Bora Bora. Thousands of Tahitian extras appeared in the film, and Brando married his first lady, Tarita Teriipaia.

In 1984, yet another version of The Bounty was released, with Sir Anthony Hopkins as a resolute Bligh and Mel Gibson as an ambiguous Christian. Of the three Bounty films, this is probably the most historically accurate, and it’s certainly the one with the greatest psychological depth. It was largely filmed in Moorea’s Opunohu Bay.

Another Nordhoff and Hall novel, The Hurricane, has been brought to the silver screen twice. John Hall’s 1937 film portrays a young couple fleeing a despotic governor. In 1978 Dino de Laurentiis reshot The Hurricane on Bora Bora, with Mia Farrow and Trevor Howard. The resort built to house de Laurentiis’ crew still exists as the Sofitel Marara.

British novelist W. Somerset Maugham also had close ties to the South Pacific. In 1943 Albert Lewin filmed The Moon and Sixpence, Maugham’s fictionalized account of Paul Gauguin’s life in Polynesia. The nonconformist painter’s incompatibility with French colonial life provided Maugham with a pretext to explore the role of the artist in society. Another famous Maugham story, Rain, set in Samoa, has been made into a movie several times.

Other well-known authors who have popularized the legend of Tahiti include Herman Melville, Pierre Loti, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, Rupert Brooke, and James A. Michener. Their stories, plays, and films have helped create the myth of a South Seas paradise. And even today, Tahiti and Polynesia beckon to romantics wishing to live their share of the dream.
