The Islands of Tahiti on a Budget – Let’s Define Budget First

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

The first thing we need to establish when discussing the Islands of Tahiti on a budget is how exactly to define budget. If you have champagne dreams on a beer budget then you might be disappointed to find out you are definitely not staying in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. The real question though, is would you seriously pass up an opportunity to visit one of the world's most beautiful destinations because you can't sleep two feet over the water? If the answer is yes, then this post …

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

If you travel to The Islands of Tahiti and don’t get a Taurumi massage, then you’re not only missing out on one of life’s most relaxing pursuits, but you’re also failing to fully immerse yourself in the Polynesian experience.

By //  by Candace Sampson 6 Comments

Before you go to Tahiti, here's what you need to know. For most people, visiting The Islands of Tahiti is a “bucket-list” destination. I was lucky to check this one off my list relatively early, when I was invited on a  Tahiti Tourisme press trip. For years, I carried constructed notions of what Tahiti would be like, only to find out upon my arrival that I was quite wrong; but as is turns out, having those myths busted turned out to be a good thing – a very good thing.
