Why is Tahiti one of my favorite places on the planet? Because It is just so incredibly beautiful and peaceful
with the crystal clear waters of the protected lagoons, the
jagged peaks that the clouds rest on, then you’ve got the people
and culture! It all paints a picture of perfection that
you will fall in love with. I have brought groups to
Tahiti 9 times now. On our last two trips we actually snorkeled with humpback
whales! Once again we are timing our trip where we'll be in
the middle of whale season so those people who want to participate
in this experience will get their chance.
This year we have added an extra night for a total of 9-nights. We'll have 7-nights on
Moorea, and two nights on the island of Tahiti which is everything you could want out of a visit to
Tahiti. Moorea is a small island that is mostly unchanged over the last 50 years.
You will love the quaint pensions and cute restaurants, palm trees that dip
over the water and the dreamy, multi-hued water in the lagoons
that the reef protects. Once again, because of our long term
relationship with The Pearl Resort we’ve been given an incredible group
discount at this truly upscale,
4-star resort situated in a picturesque setting with an
infinity pool, white sand beach and over-water bungalows.
This resort is on the
Conde Naste Gold List as one of the best places to stay. We've stayed here 4 times now and everyone always loves
it. Check out
http://www.spmhotels.com/resort/moorea to take a look.
So what's to do on Moorea? There’s plenty of great sightseeing and tours including scuba diving
with their famous shark feeding,
snorkeling with sting rays,
dolphins and whales,
visiting off-shore motu’s (small islands), 4-wheel jeep safari,
motor scooter rentals where you can ride around the whole island
or just relaxing by the pool.
Tahiti is not as expensive as some
people might have heard either, as long as you know how to do it.
I will be your guide and I know this island very well now and will
lead the way.
There are a variety of room
options at our hotel. The base price is for the Garden Rooms, but
for $150 more (per person, double occ.) you can have your own room in their Family rooms
with two floors, or for just $300 more (pp double occ.) you can upgrade to a Gardenpool Bungalows which have more
space, stand alone and offer their own private plunge pool! Premium
Beach bungalows are an additional $480 (pp. double occ) which are located
directly on their private beach and then there are the Premium Overwater Bungalows (see photo above) that you may have dreamed of
that are $1,130 additional. That is per person for the entire 7
nights in Moorea. The rack rate alone on these
bungalows is over $600 per night so this is really a great deal.
But there is nothing wrong with the basic Garden Rooms. You are in
paradise! And these are very nice rooms. All have air
conditioning and a mini-bar. Let us know when you sign up if you would like to pay
for this upgrade. Our stay
will also include the fabulous breakfast buffet (reg. $36
per day).
Our hotel in Papeete (the island of Tahiti) is
at another wonderful hotel called
Manava
Suite Resort and you will love it here as well. Our past trips
only spent one night in Tahiti and we really didn't have time to
explore this island at all. So this time we will stay for 2-nights
and will arrange an optional tour of the island. This hotel
has gorgeous, modern and very large rooms, a beautiful infinity
pool overlooking the ocean with views of Moorea. It is a very nice
way to cap off our Tahiti vacation.
We’ll be flying non-stop (just 8-1/2 hours) from
LA to Tahiti on Thursday night returning the evening of October 20th. Our amazing group
rate on this package, including Air, 9-nights hotel (double occ),
and all ground transportation is just $2,595. This really
is a very good price for this luxury vacation. $200
deposit will sign you up.
