TAHITI OR FIJI?

If you are considering romantic Pacific island destinations, two names leap to the front of your mind: Tahiti and Fiji. But what is the difference? Which is right for you?

The answers are a bit complex, partly because Tahiti and Fiji are not single islands; they are groups of islands, varying greatly in features, terrain, ambience and amenities.

Both are usually reached from the USA by flights from Los Angeles. Tahiti is about 8-1/2 hour from L.A., while Tahiti is about 11 hours. Most flights are overnight so it's a meal, or two, a movie or two, a long nap and you are there.

Take a look at the columns to the left and right to get a more in-depth look at each group of islands.

WIth all the choices, you will want to give us a call for expert help in selecting the exact island or islands you want to visit. We can arrange transportation between islands, transportation to your resort, tours and excursions, even car or bike rentals, if you wish to explore on your own.
