What's so special about the South Pacific?

This is an easy question! First of all, we are talking about the most spectacular islands in the world. The water is the clearest you'll ever see and it comes in an unbelievable array of blue and green shades. The vegetation is lush and there are endless flowers, not only all over the islands but also adorning the local people. Speaking of the people, they are total charmers with fascinating culture. The South Pacific is a magical place!

Tahitian Islands



Officially known as French Polynesia, Tahiti and her 120 islands are speckled over 1.5 million square miles of ocean in the eastern South Pacific. This exquisitely exotic Pacific destination blends the best of two cultures, Polynesian warmth and French chic, on a canvas of breathtaking landscapes melting the hearts of the world’s great romantics. Tahitian islands offer an intoxicating pool of enchanting resort experiences, virgin islands to explore, adventure sports, nature experiences and the famous black pearls.

Thanks to some friends of mine who were lucky enough to visit (and dive) in the South Pacific, my slideshow this month is compliments of their cameras. It’s been on my bucket list forever…what about you? Life is short, go to Tahiti!
