Papeete, Tahiti to Tahaa We had arrived in the early morning, and were departing after a nice breakfast at the Intercontinental to the airport. We were picked up by a van operated by Tahiti Nui Travel (whom I highly recommend for all inter-island travel connections). Once at the airport, we checked our luggage for the flight to Raiatea. The flight stops over at Bora Bora, so is a bit longer.
Intercontinental - Tahiti Typically when you get an afternoon or evening flight into Tahiti, you go to a local resort, then fly out the next morning to the outer islands. Two reasons for this. While yes, there are evening flights, why spend alot of money for less than a partial day at a more expensive resort ? In addition, the islands are beautiful from the air, and at night you can't see that. Lastly, it will take some adjustment from the long overseas flight.
Movie- 2005 Beachcomber Lagoon
Enroute to Raiatea and Le Tahaa To ge to Le Tahaa Resort and Spa, you have to fly into Raiatea(Uturoa the main city), then take the resort launch for a 30 minute ride next to Tahaa (vanilla island) then on to the motu (sand island) of Le Tahaa.
Movie- 2005 Beachcomber Pool
Le Tahaa They have both beach bungalows and over-the-water huts. I prefer the huts over the water because there are no mosquitoes out there.
Movie- 2005 Day 3 Le Tahaa Over-the-Water Hut Inside
Le Tahaa Resort and Spa The infinity pool overlooks the serene lagoon with crystal clear water.
Movie- 2005 Day 4 Le Tahaa Underwater Camera Submerging
End of Day After another day of travel and a very good dinner at Ohiri, we returned to the over-the-water hut to feed the fish (they seem to like the Pringles) via the glass coffee table. Le Tahaa is a very laid-back resort and is for couples. It's relaxed atmosphere will get you into the island culture and allow you to take a deep breath of the wonderful tropical aire.
