Product Description

Rob Kay is a successful travel writer who has lived, worked and traveled in Tahiti for more than 25 years. Rob has seen Tahiti grow up with tourism and knows its most popular beaches, most spectacular resorts and top attractions. He also knows that much of French Polynesia remains in an untouched state of tropical splendor. This guide is his invitation to discover the best of both worlds. Hidden Tahiti and French Polynesia fully details the Society Islands, dedicates full chapters to the Tuamotus, Australs, and Marquesas, and describes lodging choices ranging from 25 of the world's top resorts to 160 local fares and beach bungalow hotels. "Covers the gamut from Papeete (including where to get a Polynesian tattoo) to remote atolls." - USA Today

Tahiti & South Seas Tour Book5
Excellent book to have with you as you tour the islands of the South Seas.

This Book is ALL YOU NEED5
My husband and I travelled to Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora Bora. This book was fantastic! I usually only use Lonely Planet tour books when we travel - but I have to say this book was 5 times better than the Lonely Planet Tahiti book! Every island we went to this book directed us to little travelled - non touristy places and we feel we really got to know the islands! I highly reccommend it!

Well written and informative5
I chose this book sight unseen because it included the Marquesas which weren't mentioned in the descriptions of most other guides. I cruised the islands on the Tahitian Princess. For each island stop this book was accurate. I followed several tips that maximized the onshore experience.

Most of the islands in French Polynesia are not heavily developed or populated. If you are thinking about a land based vacation I recommend this book because the description of each island and its facilities should give you a feeling of whether you will enjoy your vacation.
