Visiting the island of Taha’a is certainly an experience that will give you a sweet memory of French Polynesia. In fact, it is here that the famous Tahitian vanilla is produced which makes this place a huge garden open to all; you will find local farmers ready to tell you the story of this excellent local product and willing to make you appreciate the various stages of production. To complete the rainbow of colors and scents of the island, there are orchids, which grow abundantly and colorful throughout the island of Taha’a.

Life slows on the island of Taha’a in The Islands of Tahiti. This quiet island will sweep you away into the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians. The flower-shaped island’s simple beauty comes in soft mountains, surrounded by tiny motu with bright, white-sand beaches. Vanilla-scented air wafts on breezes that flow down the hillsides from numerous vanilla farms, and these soft aromas ride the ocean breezes announcing the soul of the island long before you even see it on the horizon.

Time seems to have stopped in Taha’a, a secretive and secluded island. While strolling along paths across the island, travelers will discover unspoiled vegetation.

Discovering the secrets of Tahitian vanilla in its natural environment will make you fall in love with Taha’a even more. Visitors enjoy sampling vanilla tahitensis, a unique and precious vanilla that tastes like paradise. A certain artistic know-how is required to grow this exquisite spice. It’s a skill that’s acquired over time and with great experience. Just like patient alchemists, specialists pamper their Tahitian vanilla for many months before the miracle begins to happen.

Feel like Robinson Crusoe, lying on the fine sand dotted with beautiful palm trees, facing crystal clear water on the motu of Taha’a. The scenery is perfect in and out of the water. Snorkelers will find many coral heads in this rich underwater world.
