travel42 Port Guide: Tahaa

travel42 Professional Cruise Port of Call Review

Tahaa island, located 135 mi/220 km northwest of Papeete, Tahiti, and neighboring Raiatea, is sometimes referred to as Vanilla Island because of its many vanilla plantations.

This is a low-key island with few beaches on the main island but with beautiful white-sand jewels on the northern motus. These motus are home to luxury resorts, including Le Taha'a Island Resort and Spa. A handful of smaller family pensions are found on the main island.
