Imagine waking up in your own overwater bungalow, diving straight from your deck into warm turquoise waters, and gazing at lush mountains rising from coral-fringed lagoons. Welcome to The Islands of Tahiti - where French chic meets island luxury in a tropical paradise you’ll never want to leave.
Often simply called "Tahiti," this island wonderland actually spans five breathtaking archipelagos, known officially as French Polynesia. From the lively island vibe of Tahiti itself to the stunning beauty of Moorea and Bora Bora, each island offers unforgettable experiences: swim in crystal-clear lagoons filled with colourful marine life, lounge on untouched white-sand beaches, or explore lush, verdant landscapes.
Whether you’re seeking laid-back luxury, a romantic escape, or thrilling adventures on land and sea, French Polynesia is your perfect match. With world-class resorts, mouth-watering cuisine, and dreamy experiences at every turn, your ideal island getaway is waiting right here.

5 hours from Auckland to Papeete, 6 hours and 26 minutes from Wellington to Papeete and 6 hours and 50 minutes from Christchurch to Papeete.
The ideal time to visit Tahiti is from May to October, when the weather is sunny and perfect for outdoor activities. November and April also offer delightful conditions with warm temperatures and fewer crowds. Even during the rainy season, Tahiti's lush landscapes and warm climate create a uniquely enchanting atmosphere.
New Zealand is ahead of Tahiti by 22 hours (April – September) or 23 hours (late September – early April). Because Tahiti does not observe daylight saving, the difference changes when New Zealand clocks move forward or backward.

Unmatched in her lifetime experience within the conference and incentive travel industry, Victoria heads-up HOT Events and truly delights in delivering fantastic results for our clients.
Making magic happen is Victoria's specialty. She understands what is required to deliver top experiences for delegates and incentive visitors. In high demand by both clients and colleagues alike, Victoria is keen to share her skills and works closely with the team to ensure every part of a programme, from concept delivery, is exceptional .
