The celebration includes beauty pageants, competitive stone lifting, and outrigger canoe races;  tahiti-tourisme.com .  While you’re here:  Spend an afternoon touring the home of expat American author James Norman Hall, who co-wrote  Mutiny on the Bounty . His seaside bungalow in Aure is now a small but unique museum.  Where to stay:  With its serene lagoon and private beach, over-water bungalows, luxurious spa, and sunset views across the water to Moorea, the InterContinental Resort Tahiti wows. Rates start at $191;  ichotelsgroup.com . ]]></media:description>
