Der Autor über sein Buch
You're just a hit away from a Polynesian paradise.
This 4th edition of Tahiti Handbook gives travelers Tahiti-Polynesia, Easter Island, and the Cooks for the price of French Polynesia alone. Here the exoticism of Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, and Rangiroa blends with the mysteries of Rapa Nui and the easygoing pleasures of Rarotonga. It's a world class destination characterized by spectacular scenery, handsome people, and intriguing archaeological remains. These islands are well connected by boat and plane, and you'll find accommodations in all price ranges. I've been writing about the South Pacific since 1979, and those decades of experience are now crammed between the covers of this compact regional guide. New this edition are the abundant e-mail and website addresses, allowing readers to establish direct contact with tourism operators on the most remote islands. All 51 maps have been redrawn on a computer. The detailed social, economic, and political reporting is backed up by the kind of thorough listings a generation of travelers has relied upon. Special emphasis is placed on sporting activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, hiking, and golf. No freebies or favors were involved in the research: I hope Tahiti Handbook helps you find the Polynesia of your dreams.
