We had an amazing amazing time and the diving exceeded all our expectations. I don't know if I told you that we are on a round the world trip filming a documentary on the world's best dive sites and Fakarava in particular was incredible. Fakarava has not been discovered yet it seems but it is a gem. Rangiroa was also amazing, we filmed the dolphins a great deal and that was so special.
I think what really shone through was the dive operator Top Dive - they are really first class and as we were going there to film they made our trip for us!!
I would absolutely recommend French Polynesia - primarily to dive, it is really excellent diving. We live in Kenya, with some of the best beaches in the world, and in many ways Kenya is a lot more developed and geared towards tourists than French Polynesia. We found Tahiti the funniest mix of developed and undeveloped! But we would recommend Tahiti to all our friends - it is so incredible to be so far away. I loved that our phones didn't work, that there was no internet and that everything was very simple.
I have already recommend Tahiti Travel Planners to my friends, and to a lot of people we have met on this trip. What I really appreciated with you is that although Tahiti is a very expensive destination you offer a range of accommodation.

Great experience overall and we were upgraded in Moorea at the Pearl Resort to a Premium Overwater bungalow (instead of the garden bungalow we had reserved) and in Bora Bora at the Pearl Beach Resort to a Premium Overwater bungalow instead of the regular overwater Bungalow.
Just about everything went according to plan; transfers, plane rides, etc, were well organized and we again very much appreciated your speedy answers to our enquiries/questions either via email or through the phone …Great service!
…. thanks again for helping up put together a fantastic honeymoon trip! Mauruuru! :-)

BORA BORA surpassed our expectations! When you first see it for real, both from the air and as you are approaching your resort by boat, and when you are walking to your overwater bungalow after check in you are actually stunned that the place is better and more than all the pictures you’ve looked at prior to your visit! I was stunned by the beauty, and actually still now feel like it was the best dream ever as far as expectations visually of Bora Bora. Transfers, meet and greet service all were excellent.
Yes, the hotel and accommodations at the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort were perfect. We did not really require any services. I would have liked if the bungalows had a little kitchenette in them for coffee (not instant) and a fridge for your own drinks and snacks,
However the breakfast buffet was great. We really enjoyed relaxing at our bungalow, having a cold drink in the afternoon, just dipping into the ocean and laying on the lounges on our sundeck…. Our bungalow was clean, and very well kept. We were both comfortable and happy with our space.
We really appreciate everything you arranged for us and the advice you provided us, and all was as promised

Moorea exceeded our expectations. From the views on the beach to the views on the mountain were unforgettable. The sunrises and sunsets were picture perfect. Hands down the most romantic place on earth.
The Hilton is a very nice hotel. Everything is amazing, clean, and staff is super nice. From all the hotels on the island, this is probably the nicest. They upgraded us to the over water bungalow from day one and also gave us a bottle of wine and coconut because it was our honeymoon. They also have every service you can imagine on site and you don’t have to leave for anything. Only downside is, the Hilton is a bit far from any local shopping.
Transfers were seamless and there was someone to tell you where to go, how to go, and when to go, so you wouldn't miss your flight, boat, or tour. Excursions are amazing and we really recommend them to anyone that goes. There are excursions for everyone and so exciting and very informative about the island. We went on the ATV tour and also the Stingray and Shark feeding tour. We believe that both tours should be mandatory when visit Moorea. First one you see the island from the land and the second is from the water, but both is see breath taking views and also you get to see how the Tahitians live. Restaurants were good at the hotel.
Only one thing you can say about Tahiti Travel Planners. They made our dream honeymoon come true. Tahiti Travel Planners made planning the honeymoon effortless and left no question to be asked or answered. Everything was planned out perfectly.

Our Tahiti experience definitely exceeded our expectations. I found the islands to be almost like a fairy tale. The beauty was just indescribable. We are SO glad we picked this spot for our honeymoon. It was just perfect. The transfers were very organized. The people meeting us at the airport were extremely helpful and friendly. In Moorea we went to Tiki Village and were honestly very disappointed. We thought the Polynesian dance show was good but we didn’t care for the food and found the people working (living?) there to be rude. We thought for the money it wasn’t worth it and liked the hotel food much better. We also did a safari tour in Moorea which we LOVED. We thought it was a great way to see a lot of beautiful sites. Our tour guide was informative and funny. We really enjoyed this experience. In Bora Bora we did a shark/sting ray feeding boat trip- we loved this! It was a lot of fun. We also rented a buggy and drove around the island which was a great time. We are SO glad we did the breakfast/dinner package in Moorea. The food at the Pearl resort was amazing! We loved every bite. It was definitely worth the money to have those meals included. We were so impressed with the amount of food that was offered at the breakfast buffet and the dinners were top notch. We definitely feel like it was money well spent. In Bora Bora we were glad we got the breakfast package as well. It was neat to take the boat off our motu and try out different restaurants for dinner so I’m glad we didn’t include dinner here. The did find the food to be very expensive in Bora Bora though. The garden bungalow with plunge pool was perfect in Moorea. The room was great- clean, spacious, and quiet. We really enjoyed having our own little backyard and plunge pool. The Pearl resort in Moorea may have been a little small compared to the other resorts in Moorea but we felt that was to our advantage. We never had to fight for beach/pool chairs and towels and water sporting equipment were always available and the food was so delicious. We both got massages at the spa which was a highlight. In Bora Bora the Pearl was just unbelievable. The service we got here was the best! The staff was SO friendly and so helpful. We didn’t experience any of the issues with the staff here that we did in Moorea. I think this resort was supreme. We stayed in a beach bungalow for 3 nights. It was very different than the garden bungalow in Moorea. It was more rustic. We liked it though. It was a great experience. The staff did an exceptional job keeping it clean for us! The overwater bungalow experience was unlike any other I’ve ever had before. We had bungalow # 18. I would definitely recommend that one to others. It was perfect. We had an unobstructed view of the mountain. It was very quiet despite what people have told us about over water bungalows. We did not feel like we were too close to other bungalows. The only thing we heard was the ocean … which we of course enjoyed. Of course we would recommend French Polynesia to others! I am feeling like it’s the most beautiful place on earth… or that we’ve seen so far.
