Does it get any better than this? Welcome to Vanilla Island

Are you sick of these cold, wintry days, and ready to just pack up and leave? Have you thought of “Vanilla Island”?

This beautiful place is Le Taha’a Island in Tahiti, also known as “The Vanilla Island” because of its many vanilla plantations and their precious cream-coloured orchids.

Those who have visited this extraordinary place – part of the Society Islands group – say it’s one of the sweetest holiday destinations in the world because of its natural beauty and remoteness from the busy outside world.

And what better inspiration could there be to book a holiday to Vanilla Island than the chill of winter and spring in Australia?

Apart from the island’s natural attractions, activities include aerial tours, lagoon, plantation and pearl farm excursions, turtle feeding, inland excursions, scuba diving, relaxation centres and therapies.
