A Tropical Adventure
A paradise on earth, thats what many people call it. There are no cars, no noise, only the nature and the beautiful blue sea between you and your destination. There are a lot of activities you can choose from, starting with a fishing trip in a canoe to an exciting swim with sharks.
Tahiti is an unknown location for a lot of people, you couldn’t posible imagine how many things you can do. Villagers welcome you as soon as you arrive, bringing you flowers and shells as if they have known you forever. The enviroment is humid and very hot, everyone is in their swiming suits ready to get to the beach.
“We spend most of our free time on th beach, we get all toghether and play fun games until it is dark, then we go back home and chill out” says a tahitian worker. People here are very different from the continental people, as they called them. ”Citizens from New York or London are all so stressed out, but here we are all happy an relax living the day by day of our lives”
The activities for tourists start very early in the morning, as the sun is rising up. The canoes with their drivers are at the shore waiting for people to arrive, in half an hour, there are all full. The trip starts with a stop at the pearl factory, which are in the middle of the ocean surrounded by huge nets carying different kind of shells. The view is astonishing, tourists are brought down the boat and in the small wooden factory so that they can get a view to the real tahitian pearls, and maybe but one or two.
The next stop is on a small island called Huahine, where there is a huge feast prepared for tourists, you can eat everything you like, from raw fish, to crabs and even coconuts just fallen down from the trees. After the feast is finished, the islanders prepare a performance, where they show the native dances of the island.
As the day is getting to its end, the canoes return to their original positions and welcome tourist back to Papeete, the city center of Tahiti. When tourists are asked, what do they think about Tahiti, the only answer we received, was that it was a paradise on earth.
