Ia Orana, Welcome… 

Verdant mountains rising up from turquoise coral fringed lagoons, French chic and a touch of 

luxury all contribute to making The Islands of Tahiti irresistible. What we often simply refer to 

as Tahiti is actually five archipelagos known as French Polynesia, officially still part of France. 

Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also includes the gorgeous islands of Moorea 

and Bora Bora. The iconic beauty of French Polynesia is well known. Coral reefs, abundant with 

marine life, protect impossibly blue shallow lagoons – perfect places for swimming, watersports 

or simply admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach. Make a dream come true and find yourself 

in an overwater bungalow, waking up in luxury and diving into warm turquoise waters straight 

from your own deck. 

The Islands of Tahiti offer experiences that will last a lifetime - Enjoy!

Good to know 

Travel Tips 

French Polynesia is also known as The Islands of Tahiti. There are 118 islands comprising French Polynesia, of which Tahiti 

is the main island and the location of the capital city of Papeete. Faa’a International Airport is located on the island of Tahiti 

approximately 5 kilometres west of Papeete. 

Air Tahiti Nui is the international airline to The Islands of Tahiti. It offers direct flights between Auckland and Papeete. Air 

New Zealand also offers direct flights from Auckland to Papeete. 

International flights arrive on the island of Tahiti. Due to crossing the International Dateline, most flights from Auckland 

arrive the day before they depart. Holiday packages in French Polynesia will usually require one night in Papeete before 

travelling to another island the following morning. Most passengers returning to New Zealand will require one night in 

Papeete prior to departure, as flights leave early in the morning. 

Air Tahiti is a private, domestic airline which links all five archipelagos. Travel between some islands, such as Tahiti to 

Moorea, can be made by high-speed catamaran. 

We recommend booking the same hotel chain throughout your visit, as ‘Island Combo’ specials are available. We 

also recommend booking transfers throughout your visit as many resorts are located on islets within the lagoon, only 

accessible by boat. 

Passports & Visas 

New Zealand passport holders do not currently require a visa for a stay as a tourist of up to three months but must hold 

a passport with six months validity beyond the date of departure from French Polynesia. If you are a non-New Zealand 

passport holder please check your visa requirements with the appropriate Embassy or Consular office. 

Currency 

The local currency is the French Pacific Franc (XPF). There are plenty of ATMs and banks in Tahiti however access can 

be difficult in the outer islands. Major credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, boutiques and other tourist 

establishments. We do recommend you carry some local currency for smaller purchases. 

Note: NZD$1 = 75 XPF approximately. 

Pricing & Seasonality 

For all hotels on The Islands of Tahiti a compulsory local tax of approximately 150XPF per person per night must be paid 

directly to the hotels. 

While seasons may vary for each resort, generally speaking, the following seasons apply: 

High Season: 1 May - 31 October & 19 December - 10 January 

Low Season: Rest of the year 

Seasonal surcharges, supplements, compulsory meals and/or transfers may apply during high season or at particular 

properties. 

Climate 

The Islands of Tahiti enjoy an even climate year-round with daytime temperatures around 28-30°C, dropping slightly in the 

evening. The weather is warmer and more humid from November through to May and drier and cooler from June until 

October. Year round, the sun rises between 5 and 6am and sets between 5.30 and 7pm. There is very little difference 

between high and low tide in Tahiti. 

HONEYMOON 

Gift 

Tahiti is a true Honeymoon destination & many 

hotels offer free gifts to Honeymooners. Look 

for this red heart throughout the brochure to 

identify the resorts offering gifts. Honeymoon 

gifts range from a bottle of champagne on arrival, 

to sarongs and t-shirts, massages and romantic 

dinners. Contact us for a full list of gifts on offer 

at the resorts. Not all Honeymoon gifts can be 

combined with resort specials so our Specialist 

Tahiti Consultants will guide you. 

Bonus 

Many resorts throughout French Polynesia offer 

discounts depending on your length of stay. 

These range from free nights to free room 

upgrades, free meals, combined island room 

discounts and long stay room discounts. 

Look for this blue bonus logo throughout the 

brochure to identify the resorts where bonus 

deals are on offer. Contact us for the latest deals 

available at your preferred resorts.

Why not combine a stay on a high volcanic island (such as Tahiti 

Moorea or Bora Bora) with a few nights on a low lying atoll (such as 

Rangiroa or Tikehau)? 

Island hopping is easy with an Air Tahiti airpass. 

If you’re looking for untouched beaches and 

stunning lagoons, head to Huahine or Maupiti. 

For amazing snorkelling and diving experiences 

head to the Tuamotu Archipelago. 

Tahiti does not have to be 

expensive! There is a great 

range of accommodation styles 

to suit a variety of budgets. 

Pensions are the best way to 

see authentic Polynesia. They 

give you the unique opportunity 

to interact with local people. 

For a truly cultural and “off 

the beaten track” experience, 

visit the majestic Marquesas 

Archipelago. It is also the resting 

place of Paul Gauguin 

The Islands of Tahiti are wonderful for 

families who love spending time together. 

Speak to our Tahiti Specialists for advice on 

which resorts to stay at.

Tahiti 


Tahiti is the largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia and 

flights to Tahiti arrive into its international airport, Faa’a. Papeete is the capital city and the 

commercial hub of French Polynesia. Papeete has a colourful market offering local food, 

hand-made crafts and souvenirs as well as a range of pearl shops, bars and restaurants. 

There is so much more to Tahiti than Papeete - majestic valleys, rich archaeological sites, 

striking volcanic peaks and a stunning turquoise lagoon. 

Tahiti is an island of hidden treasures! 

Our Must Dos in Tahiti 

• Browse the many pearl shops of Papeete and find your own precious Tahitian 

Black Pearl. 

• Wake up early to witness the locals selling their fresh fish and vegetables at the 

Papeete central market. Then stick around to do some souvenir shopping 

of your own! 

• Visit Taravao plateau on the Presqu’île - named Little Normandy due to its 

unique microclimate. 

• Hire a car and drive around the island - there’s only one road so you can’t get lost! 

• Visit the museum of Tahiti and discover Polynesia’s mythical past. 

• Take a hike in the Papeeno valley and discover hidden waterfalls and amazing views. 

• Enjoy a sunset cocktail at the Pink Coconut bar at Marina Taina with gorgeous views 

across to Moorea. 

• Mix with the locals in the Paofai Gardens and watch the Vaa’a canoeists training in 

the lagoon. 

• Venture down the stunning west coast to Teahupoo and see THE wave. 

• Eat at the local food vans, Roulottes, located at the waterfront in downtown Papeete.

our own rating system allowing you to compare each property. These ratings 

are personal gradings offered by our people from their own experience and

change in circumstances. Assessing accommodation can be quite subjective 

and generally speaking the standard and service will be in line with the price 

paid. Please check with your House of Travel consultant to ensure you get the 

property that best suits your needs.
