Cycling Tahiti & the Leeward Islands
Cycling through a Polynesian Paradise
Polynesia. A word synonymous with a carefree way of life. A way of life immune to the modern world. The lure of Polynesia's charms are renowned, Gauguin, Melville and Captain Bligh's crew all succumbed to its seductive temptations. So too, will you on our 13 day ride through French Polynesia.
Our first island visit will be to Moorea, used for the most recent Hollywood version of "Mutiny on the Bounty". Here you'll ride high up in the island's interior to Belevedere Overlook, explore the local distilleries and loop around the island's through numerous copra plantations on roads lined with flowering Hibiscus.
From Moorea, we return to Tahiti for the evening, then set sail (well, actually we take a high speed ferry) to the leeward islands of Raiatea, Tahaa and Huahine to discover their charms. Raiatea is the home of the temple complex, Marae Taputaputea, from which it is believed both the Hawaiians and Maori set sail for their new homes. Tahaa, a short 3 km boat trip from Raiatea, is a spectacular island, undiscovered by the big tourist resorts. Huahine is the tranquil isle and usually the tour favorite. Actually two islands encircled by the same reef, Huahine's coastal roads are delightfully quiet, due to the small population, and beautifully lined with swaying palms and fruit laden banana trees.
