Waterfalls of Tahiti (French Polynesia)
Of all the tropical island getaways that Julie and I have been to, none can compare to Tahiti (more formally French Polynesia). To add icing on the cake, there are waterfalls to appease the adventurous as well as the eco-tourists. And while most visitors spend their time living it up in paradise, seeing waterfalls gives you the opportunity to experience paradise on a much deeper level. The waterfalls that we have been to so far in French Polynesia are on the larger islands of Tahiti and Moorea. We haven't found any on Bora Bora though it's entirely possible that there are some watercourses on the main part of the island since Mt Otemanu and some of its neighboring mountains scrape the sky enough to get moisture from some of the low tropical clouds. We have yet to go to the Marquesas Islands, which was made famous by the very first season of the TV show "Survivor." However, we know there are a few giant waterfalls over there and it's only a matter of time before we visit this remote and mysterious place.
