Tahiti Travel Guide
Where is Tahiti located?
Tahiti is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is part of French Polynesia. It is the largest island in the Society Islands archipelago, situated about 4,000 kilometers south of Hawaii and 6,000 kilometers east of Australia. The island serves as the gateway to French Polynesia and is known for its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and beautiful beaches.
What is Tahiti’s official language?
The official languages of Tahiti are French and Tahitian. French is the primary language used for government and formal purposes, while Tahitian is spoken by locals and is an important part of the island’s cultural heritage. Additionally, English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas and resorts.
What should I pack for a trip to Tahiti?
For a trip to Tahiti, pack light, breathable clothing suitable for the tropical climate, including swimwear for plenty of time in the water. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and bug repellent. Comfortable footwear such as flip-flops for the beach and light shoes for excursions are key, along with a light jacket for cooler evenings. If you plan on snorkeling, you may want to bring your own gear, though rentals are usually available. A waterproof phone case, camera, and medications should also be packed, along with any personal items and travel documents.
Is Tahiti safe for tourists?
Yes, Tahiti is generally considered very safe for tourists. The island has a low crime rate, and the local community is friendly and welcoming. As with any destination, it’s important to take basic precautions, such as safeguarding your valuables, being cautious in the water, and respecting local customs. Be sure to follow safety guidelines during water activities like snorkeling or boating. Overall, Tahiti is a peaceful and beautiful destination for travelers. (Just be mindful of falling coconuts from time to time!)
What are the must-see attractions in Tahiti?
Tahiti offers a mix of natural beauty, culture, and adventure. Key attractions include Papeno’o Valley, known for its lush landscapes and waterfalls, perfect for hiking and exploring. The Pointe Vénus lighthouse and beach offer stunning views of the island’s coastline. For a cultural experience, visit the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands, where you can learn about the history and heritage of French Polynesia. Don’t miss a trip to Fautaua Waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls in Tahiti, or explore the island’s scenic coastline with a boat tour around the island. For a taste of local life, head to Papeete’s Market to shop for fresh produce, crafts, and souvenirs. Tahiti is also the gateway to other beautiful islands in French Polynesia, such as Bora Bora, Moorea, and Huahine, making it an ideal starting point for island-hopping adventures.

How much does a trip to Tahiti cost?
The cost of a trip to Tahiti can vary greatly depending on factors such as the time of year, accommodations, activities, and the length of your stay. Budget travelers can find affordable options for accommodations and activities, while those seeking a luxury experience may opt for upscale resorts and overwater bungalows. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000 AUD per person for a 5-7 night holiday package, including flights, accommodations, and transfers. To secure the best prices, it’s recommended to book in advance—many travelers book between 6 months to a year prior to their trip. We offer a variety of Tahiti holiday packages to suit every budget and provide the best prices in Australia, so you can tailor your trip to your preferences.
How do I reach Tahiti from Australia?
To reach Tahiti from Australia, you will need to fly via Auckland, New Zealand. There are no direct flights from Australia to Tahiti, so you will first fly to Auckland, and then take a connecting flight to Faa’a International Airport (PPT) in Papeete, French Polynesia. Air Tahiti Nui and Air New Zealand operate flights from Auckland to Tahiti, with flight times typically around 5 hours. From Australia, you can fly to Auckland from major cities like Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, which takes about 3 hours, and then connect to the flight to Tahiti.
Are internet connections available?
Yes, internet connections are available in Tahiti. Most resorts, hotels, and cafés offer Wi-Fi access, though the speed and reliability can vary depending on the location. Many high-end resorts provide complimentary high-speed internet for guests, while other public areas may charge a fee.
We can also add Tahiti Pocket Wi-Fi to your package upon request. This allows you to pick up a pocket Wi-Fi box upon your arrival in Tahiti, which you can use and carry throughout your stay in the islands, ensuring you stay connected wherever you go. It’s always a good idea to check with your accommodation about internet availability and any associated costs before your trip.
