Tahiti, the largest main island of French Polynesia, is located in the Society Islands of the South Pacific and is the political and economic center of the overseas collectivité, with Papeete as its capital. The volcanic island is characterized by a magnificent natural landscape: the dramatic volcanic mountains in the east contrast with the serene coral reef coast in the west, where waterfalls, lagoons and black sand beaches are intertwined. As one of the birthplaces of Polynesian culture, the island retains a unique blend of traditional hula, drumming, and seamanship with a touch of French romance. Visitors can experience world-class scuba diving and surfing, visit a pearl farm, or stroll through the markets and museums of downtown Papeete, where tropical and French flavors blend seamlessly.
