Destination Papeete

A tropical paradise, Tahiti is known across the world as a highly popular holiday destination, combining superb natural settings with modern day facilities as well as friendly locals. The list of things to see and do can be as simple or as complicated as you choose, jam-packed with adventure and sightseeing, or simply soaking up the sun on the beach, the island caters for one and all.

To learn about the local area, drive your car rental a short distance west of Papeete and check out the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands. The museum includes displays on the natural environment, local culture, arts and crafts, as well as religion. Back in Papeete you can also visit the Pearl Museum, which tells the history and farming techniques of the famous local pearling industry, as well as loads of examples of products and artwork made from pearls.

Apart from the famous crystal clear waters and rich wildlife, Tahiti and the surrounding islands have a number of great sights to visit. On the island of Raiatea, you can visit the ancient site of Marae Taputapatea, which was used for rituals as far back as one thousand years ago, or perhaps head to Matavai Bay, which is where Captain Cook first landed in 1769.

The true attraction of Papeete and Tahiti is without a doubt the natural scenery. Snorkel or Scuba dive on any one of many great reefs and beaches, or maybe hike or 4WD through the rainforest. Perhaps play a game of golf or maybe even take a helicopter tour of the area.
