 Mosquito repellent by easyoar
Mosquito repellent. The mosquitos are VICIOUS in Tahiti. You do not want to get bitten, so take protection. There are also mosquitos that bite there during daylight, so wear repellent all day, not just in the evening.
Bring plenty of film/memory cards as you will not want to pay the exorbitant prices in Tahiti.
Tahiti is extremely expensive for everything, so without going over your weight limit on your flight, try and take everything you will need with you, as you won't want to buy too much stuff there when you see the prices!

 Tahitian Pareos by holligolytly
bring flip-flops or Tevas. It is so hot that you don't really want to be wearing socks.
Definitely bring your 30+ sunblock from home. The sun is very strong and burns you when you don't even know it. Also, I got suckered by waiting to purchase sunblock at the resort and ended up paying a whopping $26 for 1 little bottle. YIKES.
Buy an under water camera!!
Of course bring your bathing suits, but no need to come with a wrap, because Tahiti and its islands are known for their beautiful pareos. I ended up buying quite a few. Leave a Comment

Air Tahiti will allows luggage weighing up to 32kg per person. You won't need this much!
Casual & some nice outfits if you want. Very casual place. Went to a few restaurants and some people dressed very casual - shorts & sneakers!
Bring your own. Things are expensive on the island. Don't forget the insect repellant and sunscreen!

Bring only 1 suitcase and a small carry on, thats all you'll need!
You could honestly live in a bathing suit, pareo, and flip flops, but of corse bring at least one dress for a night out. Also be sure to bring a cover up for the nights, they can be a little chilly.
Sunscreen, Sunscreen , Sunscreen!!! Aloe for not wearing enough sunscreen. lip balm with SPF, because let me tell you lips burn and peel and it isn't nice. Sampoo conditioner are a must as well.
Bring at least a couple of under water cameras! A digital camera and camcorder are musts.
Bring a beach towel or mat most hotels don't supply one for you. Water socks, so you don't cut your feet on the reef. Flippers and snorkeling goggles. A pareo and bathing suit.

You won't need to pack much. I can tell you from experience you won't need pants or a sweat shirt at all! I basically lived in a bathing suit, a pareo, and flip flops for the entire 2 weeks.
Honestly you'll only need a couple pairs of shoes for your entire trip: flip flops, water shoes, hiking shoes, and semi-dress shoes for a nice dinner.
Bring tons of sunscreen and aloe vera!!! Of course bring your traditional shampoo and conditioners. Also be sure to use lime juice if the reef cuts you, it'll kill the infection.
Bring both an underwater camera for the shark feedings, as well as a regular camera to catch the beautiful landscaping. I also recomend catching at least one sunset and one sunrise, you wont regret it.
I highly recomend staying on the island of Moorea! Have a great trip I know you'll enjoy yourself, I know I did thats why we went back twice.
