Papeete is the capital of Tahiti and the center for commerce and transportation to other islands, via ferry or interisland airline. Currency is Francs, highly suggest using ATM at Fa'a Airport upon arrival. The ferry terminal is not too far from the airport, a great way to visit Moorea and other nearby islands per schedule, which they are definitely ON TIME!! The Outdoor Market has terrific buys for souveneirs, sandwiches, fresh fruits and vegetables, and if you are staying anyplace with a kitchen, fresh fish is available for purchase. Great microbreweries, and restaurants within a 3 block radius from the Market Place.
Bora Bora is a fantastic destination for honeymooners, romantic couples, or anniversary celebrations. It might be challenging for families with young kids because once it gets dark out, there's not too much at the resorts to entertain them. But there's definitely enough beauty and relaxation for those seeking paradise.
The tour with Amando (Huahine Nautique) is incredible! The island is beautiful and diverse and is true Polynesia. No tourists and the yacht club is the place to eat and drink and watch the sunset. Happy hour is from 5.30pm.
Well, by Faaa, I think they mean Papeete, which was a lot of fun. Faaa is just down the road a few miles, and only has the airport, and maybe a beach. Papeete has a wonderful marketplace, and the roulette pirate is a hoot, a downtown waterfront park where every night all the food trucks set up and serve wonderful stuff. But be sure to byob. There are plenty of hotels up the road, with beaches and nice restaurants, too. Some of the outlying neighborhoods seem a little dodgy, but the people are really nice, so we enjoyed touring the countryside.
Stayed on the water at Morea Peal Resort. The room was above the reef right at its face. WE had 2 feet of water under the room. (Through window in the floor we watched an octopus dance and change colors. You could snorkel right off the deck of the room at the edge of the reef, a wall about 30 feet deep filled with marine life from morea eels to sea turtles. Across the deep chanel was the barrier reef. We went all the way out there snorkeling. It is the most memorable room I have ever stayed in.
Mooera Island was our favourite spot and one of the local surf break spots, being able to enjoy the true Tahitian experience, who were so lovely and friendly. We enjoyed eating at the local caravan restaurants on beach main roads, enjoying dishes such as Mahi-mahi, local fish. Found hiring a vehicle the easiest way to get around. We loved the paddle boarding over the coral enjoying fish life etc. Only disappointment was not being able to hire a surf board to enjoy some of there surfbreaks on main island, would of been nice to hire a surfboard from beach excesses like the paddleboards. Markets definitely worth a look as well. Lovely climate
