Located halfway between Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia, the island is divided into Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti. Tahiti Nui is the bigger of the two and is located in the northwestern part of the island. It is also home to three extinct volcanic mountains, including Mount Orohena, the tallest in French Polynesia.
