Scattered into five groupings, Tahiti's 118 islands and atolls have distinct personalities and breathtaking backdrops.
These islands are perfect for a luxurious getaway.
The Society Islands feature soaring volcanic peaks and the isolated Tuamotu atolls offer a real 'deserted island' experience, while the Marquesas are about rugged and untamed wilderness, and the remote Australs and Gambiers cling to a totally traditional lifestyle.
Pristine beaches, sparkling lagoons and waving palm trees offer the perfect backdrop for relaxation, but mountainous hinterlands also beckon the more intrepid travellers, making sure there's something for everyone.
Adventure is to be had in all of the archipelagos, exploring the dramatically different interiors by foot, horseback, quad bike or four-wheel drive.
Trekking options range from short and easy walks to hard-core mountain climbing trips of up to 15 days for the experienced trekker.
So no matter what your fitness level or preferred mode of transport, you're sure to find plenty of activities to suit you.
But it's the range of water-based activities available in Tahiti that really set the islands apart from other Pacific destinations.
The twinkling, crystal clear lagoons protected by massive reefs offer world-class snorkelling and scuba diving, with countless opportunities to see and feed manta rays, reef sharks and the hundreds of tropical fish that make their homes in the reefs.
Windsurfing, kitesurfing, jetskiing and kayaking offer a different perspective on the endless lagoons.
Be bewitched by Tahiti's magical beauty the same way the first European visitors were - by sailing the islands aboard a private yacht, chartered vessel or cruise ship.
Tahiti offers something for everyone.
