More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from a green rim of volcanic ridge and the lagoon opens beneath you — turquoise, faulted reefs and the shadow of Moorea laid out like a map. Wind tugs at the canopy; the pilot checks lines and you run a short ten-meter sprint before the world quiets into glide. From that airborne vantage, Tahiti’s raw geology and ocean meet: jagged ridgelines fall into black-sand coves, and the Pacific pushes like a constant, restless hand.
