A paradise can probably be defined by a place, which holds the same attraction for all people, in spite of their age or cultural differences. Tahiti is a perfect paradise in the sense that everybody will have something to do over here. Here is a list of the 5 must-do activities in Tahiti.
Shark feeding:
In Tahiti you will get to witness shark feeding, for the waters around the islands of the French Polynesia are full of toothy sharks. Rangiroa, an atoll near Tahiti is probably the best place for shark feeding, where you need to stand in shallow water to see sharks taking food from the hands of an expert diver.
Scuba diving:
If the color of the ocean around Tahiti disappoints you for being not so perfectly blue as the picture postcards, your heart will surely lift as soon as you dive under it. The water is so crystal clear and pollution free that you will not fail to see even the tiniest dot on a small fish. Kids as well as adults will enjoy diving equally, especially with the impossibly colorful fish and beautiful coral reefs for which this part of the Pacific Ocean is famous.
Getting married:
Tahiti is one of the most popular choices for honeymoon couples or for couples, married for a long time, wanting to renew their love life. There is a very interesting activity that will definitely attract you if you are planning such a romantic vacation. In Tahiti, you can get married in a beautiful Tahitian ceremony completed with a priest giving you traditional Tahitian names.
Circling the island:
You can tour the island by the 117 km road that circles it and gives you many glimpses of the lush green rain forest, waterfalls, beaches, museums, ruined temples and other beauties of Tahiti.
Visiting the spa:
Tahiti is also famous for its spas. No vacation can be complete without a relaxing spa massage amidst the fragrance of tropical flowers, ending with a body wrap of banana leaves, leaving all your muscles soothed and relaxed.
