saturday thursday and friday evenings until 9 3 not many years ago the mention of tahiti sparked visions of a mysterious inaccessible island in the far pacificfar beyond the holi day ambitions of canadians today that is no longer the case today the tahiti group of islands five in number is one of the most- soughtafter vacation spots in that part of the south pacific and is fast becoming the prime choice for a tro- pical vacation by a steadily- increasing number of canadians the mystic of tahiti has now dis solved due mainly to its easier ac cess by fast jet liners but also to its genuine unsophisticated people who epitomize traditional warm tropical hospitality tahiti contrary to common belief is not a single island this french- ruled polynesian resort area is com prised of five islands by the roman tic names of tahiti bora bora hauhine raiatea and moorea pro viding as much or more breathtak ing natural beauty and sun drenched beaches as the famous hawaiian group of islands where tahiti has its current advantage js in its novelty these islands are comparatively new 3s far as north american hohdayers are concerned whereas hawaii has been a vacation focal point for half a century tahiti hasonty come into its own importance and prominence in the past 20 years in fact hauhine has only been catering to tourists since 1973 the tahitian group of islands stands as one of the few remaining commer cially untouched resort areas to be found anywhere which adds to the sun worshippers enjoyment one situation which you wilt not find is people packed beaches like miami beach and waikiki except for the capital city of papeete on the main island of tahiti there are no large centres of populationjust small friendly villages and ports with bicycles and the odd le truck bus for transportation companies packaging tahiti trips such as unitour offer a variety of locations from remaining on a sing le island for your entire two weeks to combinations ranging from two to five lands canadian passports are required for the initial visit which it likely will be for mo canadians it is sug gested that two or three islands at a minimum be considered mainly because each offers its own exclu sive and spectacular scenery rang ing from endless white sand beaches to secluded lagoons lush rain country foliage to impressive mountain ranges secondly be cause transit time between the is land is minimal visitors to tahiti will find the living pace very casual and the natives very friendly but not aggressive the philosophy of the islands is haere maru take it easy and it isnt hard to fall into and enjoy the cus tom that describes the people and tho atmosphere of tahiti perfectly if you have gourmet tendencies or are concerned about menus no worry the incomparable french- influenced cuisine prevails and na tive dishes are a culinary adventure you may ask they are compara tively new islands how about accommodation actually you answered your own question since they are new islands the hotels and villas are modern and complete in every detail for instance the hotel bali hai on moorea is situated on a white sand beach in the midst of a coconut grove overlooking a jadecolored la goon it also offers a swimming pool use of snorkelling equipment tennis courts daily cruises to liki tiki sunset cruises a sunday feast tamaaraa of polynesian delica cies and nightly entertainment the modified american plan is available on all islands but tahiti which has an excellent repertoire of restaurants and it can save you 10 or more on meals on the smaller islands it is only fair to mention the flying time involvedsomething like 12 to 14 hours from toronto but it also should be pointed out that there is an airline change breaktime at los angeles on the outbound trip and a onenight stopover at la on the re turnincluded in your ticket cost finally lets lot renowned world traveller and author james michen- er put everything into the proper perspective he has written
