The Tahiti experience far exceeded expectations~

To say the least, the Tahiti experience far exceeded expectations. Tahiti is the ultimate dream island, a coveted vacation destination for countless people. Main Island Tahiti: Capital Papeete, the largest island of French Polynesia, is renowned for its Tahitian dance, raw fish cuisine, and spices. Recommended attractions: Robert Wan Pearl Museum, the world's only black pearl museum, funded by Chinese pearl magnate Wen Huiren. Papeete Market: The most down-to-earth place, offering a rich variety of local delicacies, Chinese food, and desserts, as well as a handicraft market and frequently performing bands. Moorea Island: Not far from the main island of Tahiti, accessible by ferry or domestic flight. Local culture attracts tourists, with a richer local cultural flavor. Must-do activity: Dolphin Center, one of the must-experience activities in Tahiti, located at the InterContinental Moorea Resort, offering three packages to choose from. Must-visit attraction: Robert Wan Pearl Museum Recommended reason: The Robert Wan Pearl Museum was funded by Chinese pearl magnate Wen Huiren in the capital region of Polynesia and is the world's only black pearl museum. Now, "Robert Wan" has become a famous brand of black pearls, with multiple chain stores, and the museum's store is the flagship, selling various jewelry and pearl skincare products made from black pearls, making it a great gift for friends and family. It is well known that black pearls are a rare specialty of the salt lakes in French Polynesia, enjoying the reputation of the queen of pearls. Admission: Free. Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm (last entry at 4:45 pm); closed on Sundays and holidays. Must-visit: Papeete Market Recommended reason: This is the most down-to-earth place in Tahiti, located next to the Papeete Ferry Terminal, originally the meeting place of the first territorial council, later extensively renovated to become the center of Papeete's nightlife. When night falls, colorful food trucks gather here, offering a rich variety of local delicacies, Chinese food, and desserts. Additionally, there is a handicraft market in the square, and traditional bands often perform on the music stage, attracting a lot of people. Moorea Island Moorea Island is not far from the main island of Tahiti, a 40-minute ferry ride or a 10-minute domestic flight. There are not many international brand hotels on the island, and most tourists choose this island for its local cultural charm. Compared to Bora Bora, Moorea has a richer local cultural flavor. Moorea also offers lagoon snorkeling, but the marine life in Bora Bora is much richer, so it is recommended to save the sea activities for Bora Bora and experience the culture in Moorea. Must-do activity: Dolphin Center Recommended reason: This is one of the must-experience activities in Tahiti. The Dolphin Center is located at the InterContinental Moorea Resort, offering three packages: Moorea Dolphin Center Fun Tour; Dance with Dolphins; Dive with Dolphins. Children are only allowed to participate in the basic Fun Tour. This activity is loved by both adults and children from all over the world and is a classic must-experience activity. Opening hours: 9 am and 1:30 pm. Tahiti, the dream island, a coveted vacation destination for countless people. Visit Tahiti before it gets polluted again 🌊
