Description

Tahiti's reputation as an idyllic island paradise stretches back over 200 years, ever since the early explorers first told fantastic stories of the beauty of the islands and their inhabitants. Its fame grew with the scandal of the mutiny on the Bounty and the life and work of French painter Paul Gauguin. The popular image of palm-fringed, white-sand beaches, tropical climes and friendly people continues to lure travellers today. The unique Polynesian culture is still to be found and enjoyed, once you look beyond the bright lights, discos, traffic jams and high prices of downtown Papeete. And after you explore the main island of Tahiti, more than 100 other islands await across the blue water. In this comprehensive guidebook, Rob Kay gives all the facts on visiting French Polynesia - what to see, where to stay, how to get around the islands, plus a concise description of its culture and history, and other background information.
