Dear Shaun,
Firstly wanted to say how impressed I was with Tahiti and Pension Chayan. Surf was great and uncrowded, accommodation excellent (beautiful location, so peaceful) and 5 star + to Yan, Chantal and family. The homey atmosphere made the stay and will draw me back again and again. As you know, I've traveled extensively and stayed in some of the best places in the world - this experience was as good, if not better than any of them.
Regards,
Mark.

Subject a big thank you
Hi Henry, We returned early Easter Sunday afternoon from a fantastic week-long trip to Tahiti and I wanted to let you know how amazing the trip was and how grateful we are that you steered us in that direction. Everything went off without a hitch starting with the flight on Air New Zealand. They made the long flight very bearable--the food was actually good and the flight attendants were attentive and friendly. When we arrived in Papeete, Yan, the surf guide and host, was waiting for us and from that moment on he was the perfect guide to have. As a native of the island, he has an insider's knowledge of every aspect of Tahiti and it seemed as if he knew everyone on the island. He and his family were warm, welcoming and very kind. The Pension Chayan is unbelievably gorgeous, we had a waterfall just outside our bungalow, and the bungalow itself was sparkling clean and comfortable. They fed us way too much and were the quintessential hosts, catering to us every minute. The weather, as you would guess, was incredible. as was the island itself. Yan knew the best spots for surfing each day and usually he and Scott were the only ones surfing for most of the mornings. When the swell got too big (amazing, huh?), Yan took us to some very cool places around the island in the boat and we had a great time exploring. We also went sea kayaking and snorkeling and swimming in the warm blue ocean waters. The Pension Chayan has a beautiful deck stretching out into the water with a big umbrella and deck chairs meant for hours of lounging. We were at Teahupoo watching the incredible swell that later that night tore down the scaffolding only recently put up for the contest in May. Yan said it was only the second time that has ever happened. That’s how incredible the swell was while we were there. All in all it was a dream vacation and one we would gladly sign up for again and again. Thank you so much for recommending it to us. I hope many more surfers have a chance to go to the Pension Chayan and experience the vacation of a lifetime.
Thanks again!
