Morning light cuts across a reef-studded lagoon as the day begins on Tahiti: travelers climb into an air-conditioned minivan, and the island’s volcanic spine slides past—the green ridgelines daring you skyward. Early paragliding lifts participants off a Punaauia slope; gliders float over coral plates and mountain ridges with a view that switches between emerald interior and ribbon-like reef.
