I could feel our culture in my soul when I was there. I can't wait to return, it brings tears to my eyes when I see videos of Tahiti and her islands in movies.
I spent weeks at Huahine, on Moorea in the water with rays and sharks. Dined in the shallows, caught boats to pearl farms and shopped until I dropped at the markets in Papeete. My ancestry is direct lineage of Mutiny on The Bounty, we met the President, dined in royal ground, spent days in tropical valleys swimming in creeks.
The islands are easy to navigate, I'd recommend hiring a car and driving around Tahiti. Tahiti is the centerfold of the Pacific Islands and have led the way in dance and culture, the shows are amazing to see and incorporate with a buffet dinner.
