Tahiti Walking Tour
Tahiti, French Polynesia
Why Walk Tahiti
Tahiti is the largest and most populated island in French Polynesia, a mountainous volcanic island with lush interior valleys, waterfalls, and black sand beaches. Paul Gauguin came here in 1891 seeking an unspoiled paradise and painted some of his greatest works. Papeete, the capital, is a lively Pacific port with a renowned market, while the quieter peninsula of Tahiti Iti offers wild coastlines and surf.
