Tahiti is the largest island of French Polynesia, located in the archipelago of Society Islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. Tahitians are French citizens with full civil and political rights. The Tahitian language and the French language are both in use.
Lagoons and rings of coral surround most of the small islands. The tropical weather and rich volcanic soil combine to provide a backdrop of lush vegetation and exotic flowers to the sparkling turquoise water. Underwater is a feast of color as well with schools of tropical fish darting in and out of the coral reefs. The shimmering beaches also beckon, while celebrations of the Tahitian culture explode year-round in rhythms of drums, vivid costumes and wild dances.
Tahiti was estimated to have settled by Polynesians between AD 300 and 800 coming from Tonga and Samoa, although some estimates place the date earlier. The fertile island soil combined with fishing provided ample food for the population.
