Taha'a, The Vanilla island, is the fifth island in the Society Islands chain sharing the same lagoon and coral reef with the neighbouring island, of Raiatea. Taha'a is the most mountainous of the Society islands, so much so that there is not enough flat coastal plain land for an airport to be built so one has to fly to Raiatea, then take a boat transfer.

The islands' mountainous scenery is truly spectacular, being dominated by Mount Ohiri, which rises to almost two thousand feet (598 meters) in the centre of the island.  A 4-wheel jeep safari to it's summit affords the adventurous with a wonderful visually experience which includes a not-to-distant view of Bora Bora.

Taha'a is called the Vanilla Island, because it grows 70-80% of the vanilla grown in French Polynesia, and the wonderful aroma perfumes the breeze all around the island.  Take some home with you, keep in an airtight container, and use in your cooking, to remind you of your trip every time you use them.
