On my most recent trip to the South Pacific I visited six of the Tahitian islands including Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Manihi, Tikehau and Taha’a. Although it was a working trip for Tahiti Specialists, I was thoroughly spoiled with luxury accommodations at some of the most popular resorts, gourmet dining, warm tropical weather and a bit of free time (too little of course) to enjoy the fabulous snorkeling, beautiful beaches, turquoise water and sunset evenings.
I have lots of resort information and pictures to share so I’ll add to Our Blog as time permits. But since it’s almost time for the Bellevue and Lynnwood wedding shows, I thought I’d start with Tahiti – the perfect honeymoon destination!
Many couples choose the summer months for their wedding and honeymoon, so what should you expect? Perfection! May through October are the driest months in the South Pacific with air and water temperatures usually in the 80’s. April and November are lovely with just a bit more rain and December through March are the warm, wet months. That’s when you’ll find the lowest prices in paradise.
Island activities center around the beach, pool and turquoise water and you can enjoy every sport and pastime offered near, in, under and on the water. Adventurous types can scuba dive, sail, kayak, moped or bike around the island, head out for a motu picnic or try a shark & ray feeding excursion. More leisurely options include hammocks, fabulous Polynesian spa treatments and relaxing on a pristine beach.
Honeymoon evenings often begin with a spectacular sunset followed by gourmet, open air dining under the stars. After a leisurely dinner perhaps you’ll enjoy music and dancing, a romantic beach walk or just more private time together…. Tahiti really is the perfect honeymoon destination!
In my next blog I’ll talk about the wonderful resorts like Le Taha’a Private Island and Spa, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, the Pearl Resorts, the Intercontinental Resorts and more. In the interim please call if I can help with your travel plans, mark your calendar for our Tahiti night in February and see us at the January wedding shows! (See Groups & Events for dates)
