For this summer's vacation Tahiti was just a stop-over. We went to Rarotonga and Aitutaki. Aitutaki is to die for, comparable to Bora Bora in Tahiti. However, we did go to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora 2 years ago.

How prevelant is the tiki image - what other products is it on?

The Tiki image is pretty prevelant in Tahiti. One of my favorite logos is Tahiti's international airport (FAA'A) The logo is a marquesan tiki with a plane in front of it. I wish there were stickers.

Did you see any "real" tikis?

When you say real, I'm assuming authentic from hundreds of years ago. We went to some "temples" in moorea, but didn't see any authentic ones.

What did you think of the Tiki Village on Moreea?

I have to agree with the previous post that it's meant for tourists, but you have to go. It's like going to California and not going to Disneyland. We liked it, I actually bought the CD and listen to it on a regular basis.

And most importantly,
Is it available here or on-line?

Unfortunately not. I don't think Tabu Tiki has a website.
