Escape to tropical 'islands of love'

Half a day away from Auckland, seven nights in the islands of Tahiti are available from $1099.

Known as the islands of love, Tahiti is often considered the perfect tropical destination for lazing on beaches, or for a holiday with a full menu of activities.

The island of Moorea offers a range of accommodation for all budgets. Tourists can wander the beaches and lagoons, go diving, parasail or join a mountain safari tour.

Meal plans can be built into travel packages, with island foods prepared with French flair. The costs are from Auckland on a twin-share basis and some conditions apply.
