Cruises from Tahiti depart year-round.
Tahiti is close to paradise, with its rugged mountains, lush rain forests and pristine beaches. Ships call at the capital city of Papeete, dropping passengers within steps of the main street, lined with cafes, bistros and shops. The most popular excursions include city tours with visits to the governor's mansion, the Museum of Tahiti and nature exhibits at Fisherman's Point. Island tours include Point Venus, the Arahoho blowhole, botanical gardens, the Fern Grotto and the temple at Arahurahu.
