Set out on a 3.5-hour Tahitian adventure that showcases French Polynesia's literacy legacy at the James Norman Hall Museum, plus watch island-inspired cultural demos and relish panoramic vistas atop Point Venus. Bookworms can enter an exact reproduction of the home where famed American author James Norman Hall lived. See a collection of paintings, photos and artifacts that detail his life and friendship with Charles Nordhoff, with whom he co-wrote the noteworthy Bounty trilogy. Once your visit of the cozy home is done, discover the secrets of Polynesian life and traditions with your host from pareo tying to palm waving or cooking tips. She will engage with you for next hour and with a glass of homemade lemonade, let yourself be guided into this exclusive cultural demonstration. You'll then head to the island's northern coast to Point Venus, where tales of Captain James Cook's first voyage linger among the shadow of Tahiti's only lighthouse, dating to 1867. See the Bounty Monument dedicated to the ship's arrival in 1788 and then let the expansive views of black-sand beaches and deep-blue seas take your breath away while standing tall atop Taharaa View Point. Head back to the ship with your own novel-worthy travel memories.
