The islands of Taha’a and neighboring Raiatea to the immediate south are enclosed by the same coral reef, and they may once have been a single island. At the 2017 census it had a population of 5,234.[1] The island has an area of {{convert|90|km2|sqmi|abbr=off}}, and reaches a maximum height of {{convert|590|m|ft|abbr=out}}. It is also known as the "Vanilla Island" and produces pearls of exceptional quality. AdministrationAdministratively, Taha’a and the surrounding islets emerging from the coral reef form a commune (municipality) part of the administrative subdivision of the Leeward Islands.[2] Tahaa consists of the following associated communes:[3]
The administrative centre of the commune of Tahaa is the settlement of Patio.[3] HistoryAt the time of Captain Cook's visits in 1769 and 1773, the island was under the occupation of Bora Bora warriors.[4] Vanilla productionTaha’a produces 70-80% of all French Polynesia's vanilla. Because of the pervasive aroma of vanilla, Taha’a is known as the "Vanilla Island". Taha’a's pearls are of exceptional quality. AccessibilityTaha’a and its small islets can be reached by boat and outrigger from Raiatea. The short sail drops visitors on an islet beach with a small lagoon, and in the near distance, a view of Bora Bora. These parts of the Society Islands are less modernized. Tahitian SpellingTaha’a is spelled in Tahitian using the apostrophe (in fact a variant of it, the okina, hard to differentiate from the regular apostrophe when using small fonts) to represent the glottal stop, as promoted by the Académie Tahitienne and accepted by the territorial government.[5] This apostrophe, however, is often omitted. In old travelogues, the transcription Oataha is sometimes used.
