Tetiaroa Island Tours and Vacation Packages

Overview

Tetiaroa is a true paradise on Tahiti vacation, a privately owned atoll in French Polynesia. It was once a vacation spot for Tahitian royalty. However, its main claim to fame is that it was once bought by Marlon Brando who fell in love with the island while scouting for a location for the film, Mutiny on the Bounty. It eventually became a resort run by Brando’s Tahitian wife and in turn, was bequeathed to the Pacific Beachcomber Company which owns hotels throughout French Polynesia. 

The island can only be reached by air. The flight from Tahiti takes 20 minutes. Not a very large island, Tetiaroa is only 6 square kilometres/2.3 square miles in area. It offers white sand beaches, swaying coconut palms, colourful birds and a sparkling lagoon. It is a natural sanctuary for birds and marine life – there is a dazzling array of tropical fish in the lagoon and elsewhere. 

Activities include cycling, snorkeling, diving and bird watching on a Tahiti vacation.
