Iaorana or "good health" is the Polynesian greeting of Tahiti. With its beautiful mountains, balmy climate, emerald and blue lagoons, Tahiti welcomes all who visit this tropical paradise. The beauty of the Tahitian Islands is matched by the spirit of the Polynesian people and the richness of their cultural traditions. Today, Tahiti serves as the territorial capital of the French Polynesia.

It is the economic, cultural and political centre of French Polynesia. The island was formed from volcanic activity and is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs.
