Tahiti’s largest city is the perfect mix of city and beach life; Papeete is a rich paradise of gorgeous greenery and winding coastlines, yet the streets resemble the busy, vibrant nature that is expected of a capital city. The waterfront promenade is the liveliest part of the island, especially come nightfall when the place lights up with tourists immersing themselves into the local culture. Food trucks and markets offer visitors the chance to scour the stalls for authentic bargains that showcase the history and values of Tahiti. Away from the promenade, the Robert Wan Pearl Museum is a popular tourist attraction, especially for anyone hoping to pick up a famous Tahitian black pearl. If taking in some history doesn’t sound too appealing, the beach is a relaxed area, perfect for whiling away a few hours under the Caribbean sun. After heading to the beach or browsing the bustling streets for gifts, head to one of the restaurants for a taste of the local cuisine; the speciality is typically sea-food and is usually served fresh from the waters.
The city is too small and compact for cars to be a viable option for transport, therefore walking is the best way to get around. Alternatively, there is Le Truck which provides a hop-on, hop-off system around the city centre at very affordable prices.
Vaiare, and the island of Moorea, is like a whole world in itself. Separated from the stresses of the modern world, the vast stretches of greenery and tropical forestry are the perfect setting to truly escape every day demands. Luxury resorts provide supreme comfort in idyllic surroundings; sip on a juicy cocktail whilst admiring the stunning view of the Pacific Ocean stretching out across the horizon. As deluxe as the resorts are, it would be a waste to spend the entirety of your time there – the verdant landscape offers an unmissable chance to explore the rocky terrain. The challenging walking trails are ideal for ardent hikers, but for those who prefer to spend their adventures on the water, many watersports are available. Snorkelling is a popular pastime with guests who are new to underwater adrenaline rushes, and for the more experienced, jet skiing is offered under the guidance of qualified instructors. After an exhausting day in the blistering heat, treat yourself to some traditional food in the evening, with seafood typically the speciality of the day.
