Captains Courageous, Prices Outrageous: Five Days in Tropical Tahiti from $739

For only three specific Wednesday departures, exotic discounter Discover Wholesale Travel is practically giving the store away with this five-day air/hotel package to Tahiti in October and November. The starting price is $739 per person based on double occupancy, and while that may not be the cheapest price we've ever reported for a similar trip, none of those previous packages could put you up in the luxe Tahiti Beachcomber Intercontinental--consistently the island's best hotel. Rooms here usually start from $225 a night, and this deal runs you only $148 a day--including airfare! Every room faces the sister island of Moorea so you're guaranteed a view, and the property features two pools plus a 24-hour coffee bar to help get over your jet lag. Departures to this South Pacific paradise are out of Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui on October 23, October 30 and November 6 only. Expect an additional $66 in taxes and an additional 3% increase for credit card payments.
