FALL/ WINTER 2022 DREAMSCAPES

Go on an adventure
Tahiti is a treasure for adventure seekers, too. Come
2024, this mythical destination will play host to the Paris
Summer Olympics surfing competitions, so you're guar-
anteed plenty of places to ride if you're a surfer.
While beneath the waves there's another magical
adventure for unbeatable diving. For instance, in
Fakarava you have a chance to encounter a wall of sharks
but don't worry, these grey reef sharks won't biteānot to
mention colourful coral, manta rays and huge groupers.
Water activities also include whale watching, snorkelling
and paddling va'a Polynesian outrigger canoes.
On land, view spectacular vistas on island hikes,
especially in the Marquesas. Or if you really want to be a
trendsetter, Makatea, home to an abandoned phosphate
mine, is vying for rock climbing super status with 100
climbing routes of varying difficulties.

Must Try
For
treasured libations you won't
find anywhere else, try Vin de Tahiti

refreshing golden-coloured wine
are grown on a coral reef in Ran-
giroa, an hour's flight from Papeete.
