I don't think we'll rent a car either.
On Moorea we want to rent one of those cute little buggy things....my friend and her hubby did that and drove it all around the island and up to Belvedere Point and saw beautiful views from up there. I will attach a picture. Probably will def. rent bikes on Bora Bora.

Yea, we want to rent that buggy thing!!! We want to find little spots with great views and random beaches...should make for a fun day.

i spoke with a tatoo artist on moorea. He actually suggested that fh go in the water after getting his traditional tatoo. he said in the old days, that is what his ancestors did to relieve the pain. he said it would not ruin the bb trip, that he would be able to enjoy all the activities..
now i'm confused..

---

Any kind of water? I thought the lagoon water was ok but you couldnt go into the pool? I didnt want to have any restrictions or be umcomfortable for my 5 days in BB.

Hi girls....first post here on the Tahiti thread.

We originally had our hearts set on Hawaii...but now are looking into Tahiti instead. It looks so amazing!

So for those of you who have been - did you absolutely love it? Best trip ever? Would you recommend it? I have FM'd some of you so I thank you for the info.

I'm torn b/c in Hawaii i feel like there is a lot to do so we won't get bored just lounging around on the beach every day. However my FH is now telling me all he wants to do is relax....he doesn't want to be bothered with so many activities on our honeymoon and feel like he has to do and see everything....so he thinks Tahiti is a perfect place to do nothing and not feel guilty about it.

So - just starting to looking the different islands. My friend just sent me her pics...she did 1st night Intercontinental Tahiti, then 3 nights Intercontinental Moorea in OWB, 5 nights Bora Bora Lagoon Resort in OWB, and 3 nights Le Tah'a Private Island & Spa - (Beachvilla, which is on the water with your own private plunge pool)...anyway - these pics were amazing - so we are pretty sold on a Tahiti honeymoon now!

Just looking for some feedback from you girls!

THANKS!

From what i hear, there is just as much to on Tahiti as there is in Hawaii. But from what i have heard, tahiti is so much more exotic.. It to me is like the dream trip of the century. I just can't wait!

We're getting tattooed while on Moorea. I have 11 tattoos and I personally would not go in the SUN after a tattoo without covering it. I am getting half my forearm done, so I really want to wait till one of our last days or I think I would have a pretty funky tan line!

Thanks for the infot-- it is funny that the tatoo artist on moorea said fh could go in the water. i'm going to have to clarify everything with him again. do you think that because it is a traditional tatoo, maybe it is a bit different??

I didn't ask him about the water, I just know I was always told not to lay in the sun (like sunbathing) just because it would hurt and it's not great for the healing. I would think the salt water on it would probably be good. My FH owns a SCUBA shop and he is ALWAYS in the salt water and he swears by salt water for healing everythign... He also looks 15 years younger than he is... probably the salt water....

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

I am very interested in going to Tahiti for my honeymoon. Can you girls tell me where you did your research on the islands, like things to do there, places to eat. What are some good websites I can look out?

Also how you did you research on pricing? Did most of you use travel agents?

Thanks
