Who is Tahiti Telegraph?

Tahiti Telegraph is brought to you by Tahiti Time, a travel planning business that focuses only on French Polynesia. Tahiti Time designs custom itineraries, from choosing the right islands and resorts to the logistics of hopping between them, drawing on twenty years of return trips since a first visit for a wedding in 2006.

Because the islands are far away, and good news used to travel slowly. We love French Polynesia and we like being the first to tell you when something new is happening there.

Every Monday we read what hotels, airlines, cruise lines and tour operators have announced over the past week. We keep the parts a visitor would be glad to hear: a new resort, a new route, a new way to see the lagoon.
