tiki. Full day - $125 per
person

championship course, unique in
French Polynesia. Located about
45 minutes from Papeete, this
par-72 course, designed by Robert
Baldock, a California golf course
architect, measures 6550 yards
and affords unparalleled island
and reef views ... keeping your
eye on the ball wonít be
easy!

Fishing
Sport fishing charter is available
in Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora,
Huahine and Rangiroa in various
size fishing boats, from 20 foot
center consoles, to 45' sportsfishers.
Any of these daily charters can
easily be arranged from your hotel.
Costs vary depending on boat size
and location, and start at
about $550 per day. Fishing
takes place outside the lagoons,
trawling for small tuna, mahi
mahi, yahoo and various types
of billfish. This is not as good
as Mexico or Australia, but more
like Hawaii, with comparable type
of fish.
Fly fishing or fishing from shore
or in the lagoons is almost nonexistent
due to the shallowness of the
lagoons and the type of fish present.
