Pros: The Market, the Traffic, the Rugged Landscape, the Roulettes, the Culture Cons: Modernized Polynesia, Expensive Taxis
When I was planning our trip to Tahiti & French Polynesia, everyone said to stay as far away from Tahiti as possible. Since the flight schedules into and out of Tahiti are usually in the middle of the night, you almost have to stay at least part of a...
We purchased our package from Tahiti Vacations. We flew from Los Angeles on Air Tahiti Nui, a one year old airline to Papeete. The flight leaves LA at 2pm, is about 8 hours, and lands around 8pm. The service and food were very good, and the plane was...
Pros: scenery, climate, the people Cons: traffic, lack of good beaches, it's pricey
Visiting Tahiti will most likely leave you with many mixed emotions. Spending a vacation in the South Pacific is most everyone's life long dream, with visions of perfect beaches, miles of sand, crystal clear waters and perfect blue skies.
Pros: Interesting culture, beautiful island Cons: Not as good as other islands for snorkeling and beaches
Tahiti - just the word brings up images of shimmering white sand beaches and palm trees in a perfect tropical paradise. I visited Tahiti while on a South Pacific cruise and I enjoyed Tahiti a lot, although I'd recommend some of the other islands more...
Pros: Interesting atmosphere/people Cons: Loud and occasionally odiferous
In late March of 2000, my wife and I spent a week in French Polynesia as part of a longer trip that included time on Oahu and Kauai. Although we spent the bulk of the French Polynesia portion of the trip on Bora Bora (as well as some on Moorea), we did...
Pros: None, Fly In and Fly Out Cons: Nothing Interesting
If you are going to Papeete, I recommend you fly in, clear customs, and immediately take off for one of the more wonderful islands. If you are staying on another island, don't return to Papeete until your flight departs for the states. French...
Pros: none Cons: Le Meridien Tahiti STINKS! (literally)
After an unbelievable honeymoon week in Bora Bora (see my reviews of the Hotel Bora Bora and Bora Bora Lagoon Resort) we flew back to Tahiti for one night before our long plane trip home the following morning. We were told my our travel agent that the ...
Pros: The 'real' can be found, if you want it. Cons: It can take a lot of digging through all the surface distractions.
OK, this is review of a trip ages ago-- 1988. Is it valuable? Who knows. I hope so, in some way. As an example of looking deep for something beneath the surface-- and finding it. My girlfriend and I also stayed at Fare Gendron. We flew into Faa'a ...
