One of the top reasons that so many tourists visit Tahiti is the beaches, sand, and clear blue waters. Although many of the island's beaches have volcanic sand, this is one of the few beaches on the island that dazzles with white sand. The water is very clear in this area and you can see right to the bottom. It is about 40 miles southeast of the island's capital Papeete and you will need to drive carefully to reach there.
Fautaua Waterfall is a beautiful stunning waterfall on the island, which swells up with extraordinary views when it rains. The water cascades into a large pool at the bottom. Unfortunately, to get there you must embark on a fairly difficult hike, which is usually best done with a guide or an experienced group. But it is well worth the trip as most will attest.
Papenoo Beach is located in a small village called Papenoo just a few miles from the island's capital and gives an amazing glimpse into the island's volcanic history. The Punaauai Beach showcases the island's characteristic volcanic sands which it has become well known for. It's also a great alternative from the more populated La Plage de Maui on Tahiti. You may have to compete for some beach space with the island's local surfers, but this can be a nice getaway.
Papeete is the capital city of Tahiti and where a lot of the local activities are located. It also happens to be the capital of the rest of French Polynesia. You'll find plentiful opportunities for beaches, nightlife, shopping, and local seafood and culinary destinations here, as well as local markets with souvenirs, clothing, handmade items and more.
This is a beach which is located on the southern coast of Papara and has volcanic black sands, palm trees and is known for being large and wide, offering a lot of room to enjoy the beach, lay out or even swim. It's known for having great swimming conditions and you will also see surfers here. Step out on this beach to enjoy the unique sand and beautiful waves.
Moorea is the sister island of Tahiti and it is much more rugged yet well worth the quick trip. There are beautiful ATV tours to enjoy the varied lush local terrain and you can also take hikes to the top of the cliffs and mountains for some extraordinary views. Enjoy scuba diving and snorkeling at the lagoonarium as well as the Moorea Dolphin Center where there are plentiful marine mammals to check out. Getting to the island is a quick ferry trip from the terminal at Papeete and a round trip costs around $28 or 3,000 French Polynesian francs. You can get around the island by bus or taxi once you arrive.
The Museum of Tahiti and her islands is dedicated to educating the visitors and locals about the unique history of the archipelago. Four sections of the museum cover different aspects including natural history, geography, the impact of colonization, and natural wonders. There are also beautiful beaches right outside of the museum to explore when you get bored and other nearby attractions.
Faarumi Waterfalls is located in Tiarei, a village on the island, and it requires a quick hike through the forest to reach. There are three waterfalls in total, the first is known as Vaimahutu, and the second (Haamarere Iti) and third (Haamarere Rahi) take an additional hike of about 20 minutes to reach. The falls are beautiful and a bit easier to access than some of the other destinations on the island. The falls are about a 30-minute drive from Papeete and sit along the northern coast of the island.
As mentioned previously the summer months are between November through April and can be very hot and humid, while the winter months between May and October are much less humid with more favorable temperatures.
The winter months are also the dry season on the island, so it should be noted that many of the waterfalls may not be as active during these months compared to the summer. The temperatures range from the upper 60s to the mid-80s during the day, making it prime for outdoor activities or spending time on the beach. It's also a lot more comfortable to be outside due to the lower humidity. However, you can expect hotel rates to be higher during the winter due to higher demand.
The summer months of November through April will have higher temperatures and higher humidity, as well as much more rainfall. Some of the months receive an average of 12 inches of rain per month such as December. Temperatures will range from the low 70s to the high 80s or higher on average while hotels can be more affordable during this time of year. If you don't mind the heat, a summer trip can still be pleasant and there are plenty of ways to cool off at the local beaches and attractions. A lot of tourists prefer a much quieter and secluded experience for themselves. If you are one of those and don't mind the scorching heat over your head, then visiting in the summers can also be a better option for you.
A Tahiti ocean cruise in French Polynesia is typically a momentary stopover on a longer cruise. Most cruises will stop on the island for a few days before moving onto a nearby destination such as Moorea or other French Polynesian islands.
Typically cruise packages will include room, board, entertainment, WiFi, an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages package, and other amenities that vary based on the package that you pick.
There are typically several options, you will usually find a multiple destination cruise to Tahiti that will take you to other locations throughout the world. The best option will depend on your goals, if you want to stay in Tahiti longer, consider a cruise that will stopover for more than a few days. If you don't mind a quick visit which is typically all you need to see most of the top attractions, most cruises to Tahiti will work.
A Tahiti ocean cruise will vary significantly depending on the package that you purchase and other factors, the cost can range around $3,000 to $5,000 USD for a shorter cruise with multiple amenities up to $15,000 to $40,000 or more for a worldwide or multiple destination cruise with luxury amenities from a cruise provider like Princess or Viking.
