Tahiti is the largest of the Windward Islands, which with the Leeward group, form the Society Islands. In 1769, explorer Captain James Cook sailed these shores to observe the transit of Venus. It has been a vacation destination since the 1960s, renowned for its azure waters and unspoiled landscapes. The capital Papeete offers an interesting contrast to the idyllic remote isles that French Polynesia is famed for; it is a vibrant, multicultural city with a busy harbor and bustling market, offering all manner of produce from fresh seafood to vanilla beans and colorful pareos.
