Sailing Tahiti - Heaven On Earth!

French Polynesia more commonly known as "Tahiti", is located in the South Pacific approximately 8 hours by plane from the city of Los Angeles or 9 hours by plane from Sydney Australia.

Located 260km from the main island of "Tahiti", the Society Islands in French Polynesia are the most stunning sailing grounds I have ever visited.

The scenery is mind blowingly awesome, it is often aptly described as heaven on earth! We spent most of our time marvelling at the sheer beauty of the islands, clarity of the water, friendliness of the locals and the overall good vibed ambiance of the region.

The island's sheer, eroded peaks preside more than 700 metres above sea level and hover over crystal clear turquoise coloured lagoons. The lagoons boast and abundance of  marine life and are all sheltered by surrounding reef making them calm and easy to sail.

We chartered a yacht from Sunsail from Raiatea in May which was a great time of year as it offered us pleasant unwavering temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius.

Island's visited in order of our 10 day sail.

Raiatea, Huahine, Tahaa, Bora Bora.

We had 10 days, if you can take 2 weeks I highly recommend it as you will have more time to explore the natural wonders of this garden of Eden!
