The history of Tahiti

The origins of the Polynesian people may still be the subject of some debate, but they consider themselves to be the direct descendants of the Heavens (father) and the Earth (mother). Tahitian oral tradition tells that Ta’aroa, a kindly god, created a chain of other gods and semi gods to be in constant communication with man. The spiritual importance of this connection with the gods can be seen in cultural sites such as the marae, and the various archeological remains in the valleys. A cultural guide will help you discover these ancestral secrets.

In the age of the airplane a romantic vacation in the South Pacific has become a possibilty for travelers from all over the world. The Islands of Tahiti still have the same attraction that brought Melville, Darwin, Zane Gray, Somerset Maugham, Nordhoff and Hall to these shores. A land of romance, legends and magic. An unspoiled paradise, that has changed little since the great explorers first set foot here. Magnificent sandy beaches, with turquoise lagoons as crystal clear as they were when Robert Louis Stevenson observed them from his yacht. Welcoming faces of the islanders and bright colors everywhere are just the same as when Paul Gauguin painted them. The Islands of Tahiti is still a destination where the inhabitants live in perfect harmony with the incomparably beautiful world that surrounds them.
