Tahiti Travel Connection launches 2017-2018 brochure
Australia’s leading Tahiti travel specialist and preferred partner of Tahiti Tourism launches their new 67-page brochure dedicated to the Islands of Tahiti. The 2017-18 brochure includes new additions Conrad Bora Bora Nui and Windstar Cruising.
The 5* Conrad Bora Bora Nui is located on Motu To’opua, an islet off the coast of Bora Bora. With 117 exclusive villas and suites, Conrad Bora Bora Nui boasts views of the lagoon and horizon from every single spot. There are 6 categories to choose from; from Lagoon View Suites (101m2), to the island’s first Presidential Overwater Villas (300m2).
Windstar Cruising offers guests the essence of a small ship sailing experience on the luxurious 148-guest Wind Spirit. A Windstar yacht is large enough to pamper and indulge, yet small enough to anchor in secluded coves where larger ships can’t reach and guests will find hidden nooks for private moments giving them a feeling of being on their own private veranda.
The new brochure can be downloaded here. For full details and bookings contact Tahiti Travel Connection on 1300 858 305, email info@tahititravel.com.au or visit www.tahititravel.com.au.
