This Sunday, Channel 9’s “Travel Guides” trades the familiar for the truly exotic, whisking viewers away to the jewel of the Pacific: Tahiti. Season 8, episode 4 finds our intrepid group of ordinary Aussies swapping their everyday routines for overwater bungalows and some genuinely thrilling – and potentially terrifying – experiences.
Forget relaxing on pristine beaches (though there will likely be some of that). This episode focuses on adventure. The guides will take the plunge, swimming alongside sharks and stingrays, an experience sure to test their nerves. They’ll also dive for Tahitian pearls, hopefully discovering some lustrous treasures beneath the waves. And, because even adventurers need a little pampering, they’ll enjoy the ultimate in luxury with stays in iconic overwater bungalows.
“Travel Guides” continues to offer viewers a vicarious escape, filtered through the unpretentious and often hilarious perspectives of its everyday critics. The beauty of Tahiti, a French Polynesian island known for its breathtaking scenery, provides a stunning backdrop for this week’s escapades. Will the guides embrace the thrill of the deep or long for the safety of solid ground? Tune in to Channel 9 and 9Now this Sunday, 11 May at 7:00pm to find out.
