Tahiti Travel Guide

 12 Reviews  This is one of the first places you see when you come to Tahiti because this is where the airport is. Most people land here at night and leave Papeete in the morning to go on to another island. Its actually cheaper to stay in Papeete than on any other island. Its busy here, somewhat crowded but... 

 8 Reviews  The painter spent many years here and this is where he perfected the colorful style that made him and the islands famous. All the paintings here are reproductions. Also don't miss the great collection of Tikis on the grounds. 

 6 Reviews  This anchor is in the entrance to the Tahiti Museum. although it is pretty huge, it is easy to miss it unless you are looking out for it. The anchor originally belonged to one of Captain James Cook's boats - HMS Adventure, and was lost whilst he was attempting to land in Tahiti during tricky... 

 malianrob Says:  All the little churches in Tahiti and Moorea kind of look like this. Very simple but neat and clean. Nothing fancy about them especially this one which is conncidered a cathedral. They are very beautiful though. I wasnt able to go inside but I hear this place houses a series... 

 malianrob Says:  We rented a car and we went for the day around the island of Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti. You cant go totally around Tahiti Iti but you can go as far as possible then turn around at Teahupoo, the famous surf spot then go to the other side and turn around at Tautira. The drive... 

 malianrob Says:  This is a famous international surfspot. Its supposed to be better than Northshore in Hawaii. When we got here there were alot of kids body surfing here and the waves were so so. I was expecting the waves to be much bigger. 

 Jim_Eliason Says:  This is called Point Venus because it is here that Captain Cook set up an observatory to watch the transit of venus across the sun during his second trip to Tahiti. The observatory was later converted to a lighthouse. The site also includes monuments to Cook and to Capt... 

 Muya Says:  We had an islands salad each (with crab, shrimps, apple, pineapple) and half a pitcher of white wine for 4000 CFP. This restaurant is one of the oldest on the Waterfront boardwalk. Probably not the best value but nice « Old Parisian café » atmosphere…if you feel nostalgic of... 

 NYCTravelerGuy Says:  So I ventured out one night with my buddy to the "locals bars". Though hitchiking to the bars was very pleasant where we were greeted by a friendly local named Ziggy the locals in the bars were not so welcoming. First the punks sitting outside the bar were saying things to... 

 8 Reviews  The best compagny to fly to French Polynesia. Planes are brand new with personal tv screen and games even in economics. Service is excellent and food better than usual in planes. You already feel like you're there ! They are flying to Tahiti from USA, France, Japan and Australia. 

 malianrob Says:  Everything you can think of you can find here at the Papeete Market. We bought our souveniers here. Yes everything is still quite expensive but you can do all your shopping in one place. This market is huge, two floors and you can find food, fruits and vegetables, clothes,... 

 orangeracerx Says:  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,...
