The World's Cleanest Air
Clean-Air Credentials: Harvard University’s Daniel Jacob recommends Tahiti’s more remote lagoons and unpopulated motus as excellent destinations for clean air. Just don’t breathe the air in Papeete, which is rendered impure by the old cars and motorcycles.
Take a Breather: Championship kiteboarder Moehau Goold has traveled the world with his extreme sport and rates Bora Bora the best place on earth for kiteboarding. “It has the best kite spots because it’s so beautiful and clean and there are no big industries or boats to pollute the lagoon,” he says. Go fly with Kite Tahiti—the best time is June to September, when the trade winds blow. Locals head for Matria Point on the south side of Bora Bora in the middle of the most touristed area; with only 25 active kiteboarders on the island, you’re unlikely to get your lines crossed.
