With 118 islands and atolls and five main island groups, Tahiti, which is the main island of French Polynesia, is an area of diverse and incredible scenery – both above and below water! Tahiti and her islands rightly deserve the reputation as one of the world’s most romantic destinations, making it ideal for a Tahiti wedding or honeymoon.
From the beautiful and sensual island of Bora Bora, to the main island of Tahiti with its lush mountains and interesting history, through to the pristine beaches (which have tempted many a bride to wed barefoot!) of Moorea, or the untamed beauty of Huahine.
