Noa

I would start my vacation with a few days in Tahiti to settle into the laid-back lifestyle. The next few days I would rent a car to tour around the island, visit all the waterfalls, surf beaches, restaurants, and viewpoints. My first island I would visit would have to be Nuku Hiva, to get away from modern society and get lost in the dense valleys and wilderness. I would really take in the Polynesian culture and the primitive way of living . I would then head over to Rangiroa, renowned for their scuba diving. On the north side, the biggest dolphin species in French Polynesia can only be found here, they are extremely playful. On the south side, there is the great wall of sharks where hundreds of reef sharks stay. After playing in the ocean, my last stop would be Bora Bora. To decompress and soak in the blue lagoon from my over-the-water bungalow.

It has to be Bora Bora, I still think about all the childhood memories I spent there during the summers. With the turquoise lagoon, the breathtaking hikes, and the manta rays.

I would choose “Chez Anita”, located in Punaauia. Started off as a food truck and grew into an ocean side restaurant right in front of the sunsets. I can’t recommend anything in particular, there’s too many good options on their menu.
