Aventura extrema en Tahiti: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en Tahiti con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Tahiti is the beating heart of French Polynesia. Divided into two parts, Tahiti Nui (the largest) and Tahiti Iti (the peninsula), the island offers a fascinating contrast between the vibrant urban life of its capital, Papeete, and the wild, untamed nature of its interior. It is world famous for its volcanic landscapes, vanilla plantations, black pearls and the legendary Teahupo'o wave. Although it often serves as a gateway to other islands, Tahiti is deeply culturally rich, with ancient temples (marae) and legendary hospitality that defines the Polynesian spirit.
