Hello, I tried to find information, but without luck. Are there any resorts in French Polynesia that offer Bicycles for guests that can be used to travel around the resort and island?

Hey all! I went to Moorea and it was so beautiful but only stayed 2 days. Going back now and want to split up 12 days between Moorea and Rangiroa. Which island did yall like better? How many days should I stay in each? Leaning toward spending most of the time in Rangiroa but am afraid I’ll get board. Any help or suggestions would be so much appreciated. Thank you!

My phone suddenly broken. I want to buy a new iphone or pixel. What is the suggested place?

Arriving into PPT in Feb and renting a car. How far in advance do I need to book the car ferry over to Mo’orea?

What should we do to kill time until our super late flight? I heard a lot of places will be closed on Sundays.

We have one more day in Moorea and then we'll be spending the day in Tahiti before our flight.

Any recommendations on where to buy little girl's dresses at a decent price? I think we saw them for around 2000-2500 at the market (best prices I've seen. )

Hi Reddit users,

is it true that Tahiti being a territory of France is the equivalent of Puerto Rico being a territory of the USA?

Need to have internet for job, just a question. Thank you!!

Plan to spend 5 nights on Hauhine, may do excursion to Taha’a or Raiatea for a day. Where is the best place to stay?

Hello. I am just starting my research on planning my trip for 2025 for whale season. I could use some pointers on where to start my search.

-What are the best tour companies that have day excursions to see the humpback whales?

-Are there any that provide an underwater photography package or do I need to hire a photographer separately? Any recommendations here would be great.

-What is the peak month or months to visit when there are the most whales?

We will be coming from bora bora at 8pm and.next flight at midnight is there is a restaurant walking distance to have dinner. I really don’t want to to eat McDonald’s at the airport

Can someone please tell me if the Kia Ora Sofitel takes Debit cards? I’m from USA.

Somewhat strange ask.

We are headed to Tahiti (mostly Mo'orea) and my daughter is absolutely obsessed with Moana (she'll be almost 3 when we go).

I thought it would be really lovely to do something that showcases the local culture. We would love to learn about it and I'm sure she would be intrigued and excited.

However, since she's little, it would likely need to be a daytime thing and something we can either do as a private tour, for just a couple of hours, or on our own.

Completely open to suggestions here and not looking for one specific type of cultural experience, but more focused on the fact that we will be with a toddler so flexibility is kinda key.

Hi, I have a flight to return home out of PPT at 9pm on a Saturday. We're considering staying in Bora Bora Friday night. Would you instead stay one night in Tahiti Friday night just to be safe in case of airline delays? Or if not, what is the latest you would arrive in PPT from Bora Bora before that 9pm flight back to the US?

Hello. Im a university student in canada who wants to travel to bora-bora with one or two of my friends, and i have some questions

I would appriciate if you can answer whatever you know. Thank you!

• im traveling during wet season (november to april) because its cheaper

1. Are the best viewing spots open to public?

• i heard Matira beach is only one open to public, and most of other beaches are private. Is acess to matira beach enough to get best view? (Like lagoons, beach, mountain,etc)

• on top of that, im going to buy a lagoon tour pass. Will that be enough to get me the best view?

• or if not, can i purchase day-pass to gain acess to other private areas with best view? Or Is that hard to do it?

2. Weather

Im planning to go there for 5 days (because of money) , and since its rainy season, im worried it will be cloudy for whole 5 days.

I heard that even in wet season, mornings are still likely sunny, and even if its cloudy, it likely dissapears after a hour or so. Is that true?

• i really want to enjoy the island while it is sunny, and all i wish is that it wont be clody for entire 5 days. I just want to have one moment of beautiful sunny island. Is that likely?

Am i gambling too much by staying only 5 days during rainy season?

I dont even need 5 full sunny day. I just want 1 moment that is sunny.

3. Price

Im traveling from toronto to bora bora, and im planning to stay in normal-price hotel room (not luxury one)

and im planning to bring bunch of instant noodle/canned foods to save money for my foods.

I calculated the cost of entire trip, and it was around 6000-7000 canadian dollar per person

Including plane tickets (2500-3000 candian dollar)

hotel room ( 2000 canadian dollar for 4 nights)

all activites/foods ( 1000-2000 canadian dollar)

Is that an realistic price? Or am i over/under estimating it?

We have a family birthday to celebrate so something nice would be good. It doesn't need to be super fancy or expensive. We're staying at the Hilton Tahiti so walking distance to there might also be helpful though we could get taxis.

I noticed that a lot of places are closed on Mondays so thought it might be worth asking here.

Thanks for any ideas!

My partner and I are looking at spending two weeks diving out this way - we both would rather spend more on the diving then accommodation - ideally keeping it under 2k per person would be the dream - any recommendations for places to stay and charters to go with? We are M(27) F(30) so looking for a nice fun vibe as well

Thanks!

We are going to Moorea over the holidays. We have New Years Day afternoon and into the evening in Tahiti till we jump on a red eye back to the US. Any ideas on excursions in Tahiti till we board our flight?

Does anyone know of a water taxi or just someone with a boat who'd be willing to drop my husband and I off at Moto TauTau and then pick us up like two hours later? Or even someone with a rentable kayak? We don't really want to do the all-day tours that include the Coral Garden because we don't really care about the pearl or vanilla stops (the rhumerie would be okay). We just want to rent a car and explore Taha'a at our own pace. But I cannot find any way to get there without being on a tour. I found two people doing three-hour tours that just included the Garden but one is not available and Te Mara Nui isn't answering my email or WhatsApp. I asked Taha'a Location if their water taxi would do this and they said they couldn't. I asked Le Taha'a about reserving a spot at their restaurant to use the shuttle but the shuttle only runs a couple times per day and the times don't really line up with the restaurant hours so we'd end up stuck on TauTau 3 hours longer than we'd want, unable to use any of the resort amenities, eating poolside a la carte food, and missing other things to do in Taha'a. It's so frustrating. It's like a mile off-shore. We could almost swim!

Side note: Does Le Taha'a own all three motus there? If we rented a kayak could we just tie it up on shore and snorkel or would someone get mad at us?

We’re spending NYE/New Year’s in Tahiti. We’ll be at the intercontinental but either all restaurants are booked up or they’re closed. What is there to do on the island? We’ll have a kiddo with us so bar hopping is unlikely.

EDIT: It is closed for the season November 11th was the last day to swim with Whales

Has anyone done this in Moorea? Is there a tour you would recommend that is responsible/respectful to the wild life? Preferably one that offers a morning and an afternoon session.

Thank you

We've booked a June 2025 honeymoon and plan to do 14 nights but we're not sure whether we'll be too bored spending essentially a full week in the traditional resort experience. We're more adventurous type travelers but also enjoy a balance of slow paced deep relaxation on vacations. Here's our itinerary:

1 night Tahiti - flight arrives late so staying at Hilton until ferry travel to Moorea next day.

6 nights Moorea - staying at an Airbnb with a rental car.

4 nights Tahaa - staying at Le Tahaa OWB.

3 nights Bora Bora - staying at St Regis with a split btw 1 night in a reef side room 2 nights OWB.

Everything's fully refundable so open to suggestions on whether 7 nights in a traditional resort is too much / boring as we've never done that before. Is there enough to do at the Le Tahaa and St Regis that won't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks!

We arrived yesterday and are staying at this hotel which was on the list on American Express platinum. DO NOT STAY here. There are ants and cockroachs. We cannot leave ahead of our time either...we will b charged until Sunday. 😕😕😕

My husband and I would love to hike while in Moorea. We'll have our daughter in a hiking backpack, so no difficult ones or any with scrambling.

Totally OK with ready or moderate. Looking for beauty views, although I have a feeling they all will have them.

Any favorite trails?

Hello everyone,

I've created a free, ad-free app to easily convert CFP francs to euros. I personally needed this tool and I'm happy to share it if it can help anyone.

Hi everyone! We arrive on Christmas morning and will be staying on Tahiti for a few days. I was thinking about packing some food items but it looks like there are some heavy restrictions on what can be brought into the country. We are a large group so I would rather not go to an expensive hotel for dinner. Does anyone have creative ideas or have any suggestions for getting lunch/dinner or shopping for food?! Thank you!

For Tahiti on Star breeze I want to book a private excursion in Raiatea. it starts at 8:30 - the website says we dock at 8. What time did you actually get to get off the ship?

Half the people seem to die over it, while the remainder complain about price.
