The cost of a trip to Tahiti can vary greatly depending on the time of year, the type of accommodation, and the activities you choose. On average, you can expect to spend anywhere from AUD $4,000 to $8,000 per person, twin share, for a 7-night holiday package. This includes return flights from Australia, accommodation, and all transfers.

What’s the best time of year to visit Tahiti?
The best time to visit Tahiti is during its dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, you can expect pleasant weather with lower humidity, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures ranging from 24°C to 30°C. This is also the peak season for tourism, offering ideal conditions for outdoor activities such as snorkeling, diving, and hiking.
However, if you’re looking for a quieter experience, the shoulder months of April and November can also be a great time to visit, as the weather is still favorable and there are fewer tourists.
The wet season, from November to April, is marked by warmer temperatures and occasional rainfall, but it’s still a beautiful time to visit if you don’t mind the showers. This period is also less crowded and offers more affordable rates for accommodations and activities.
Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on your preferences for weather and crowd levels. No matter when you go, Tahiti offers stunning beauty year-round!
Do you provide 24/7 customer support during my trip?
Yes, we provide 24/7 customer support during your holiday. Our team is always available to assist with any questions or concerns you may have while on your journey. Additionally, you will receive on-site support from our dedicated team in Tahiti, ensuring you have peace of mind throughout your holiday.
Solo travellers
The prices listed for our packages are typically based on twin-share accommodation, meaning the cost is calculated for two people sharing a room. As a solo traveller, you can still book our packages, but there may be an additional cost known as the single supplement. This is because the cost of the room remains the same whether it’s occupied by one or two people. The single supplement ensures you’re not paying for a second person, but it helps cover the difference when booking a room for just one.
We can provide a customised quote based on your specific travel needs, and we always strive to offer the best value for solo travellers. Please feel free to contact us for more details or to receive a quote tailored to your trip.
