TRADE WINTER FOR SUMMER IN THE SUNNY SOUTH PACIFIC
If the bitter winter chill is giving you the blues, then the soft sands, balmy sun, and warm breezes of New Zealand and Tahiti are the perfect antidote. Air Tahiti Nui makes getting to this natural South Pacific combination simple with its time-limited “Summer In New Zealand” fare, offering roundtrip Moana (economy) class air to Auckland from only $1,253 including taxes and fees – plus a free, one-time three-day Tahiti stopover and stay at one of three resorts, based on double occupancy. Resort options include the Hilton Hotel Tahiti, Radisson Plaza Resort Tahiti, or Sofitel Tahiti Maeva Beach Resort. Bookings must be made by February 1 for travel January 25 through June 15, 2010.
Less than eight hours nonstop from Los Angeles International Airport, exotic Tahiti is unspoiled and lush, with azure waters and year-round sun. Never rushed nor hurried, visitors can choose to do as much or as little here as they please. Explore beautiful flora and fauna via easy walking trails or expeditions to the island’s volcanic center, or hop over to the heart-shaped island of Moorea for a day trip to enjoy leisurely catamaran rides through beautiful side-by-side bays and shopping for French Polynesia’s famed Tahitian black pearls. Those in search of relaxation and romance will love the stunning black and white sand beaches, sunset lagoon cruises, and spa treatments featuring Monoi oil – while families and kids can enjoy friendly shark and ray feedings and scenic helicopter rides.
Of the three resort options, families might enjoy the Hilton Hotel’s “Special Family Offer” of one child staying free with two adults, while larger groups might take advantage of the Radisson Plaza Resort’s “Suite Upgrade” option to an ocean view duplex for just $120 extra per person. Alternately, for that same extra price per person, luxury-lovers can upgrade to one of three higher-end properties instead: Intercontinental Resort Tahiti, Manava Suite Resort Tahiti – where not one, but two children can stay free with two adults – or Le Meridien Tahiti.
