Papeete French Polynesia Travel Guide

Papeete is the largest city in and capital of French Polynesia on the island of Tahiti. French Polynesia is part of French overseas collectivity. The name has been derived from the native language Tahitian. The term means “water from a basket.”

Papeete finds its way on every list of top family destinations, honeymoon destinations and weekend escape getaways. So Papeete flight deals are always a hot-selling cake for travel agencies.

Papeete is a walking town. Drivers stop for pedestrians at crosswalks (zebra crossings). Visitors like the famous le truck for fun (hop-on, hop-off, anywhere in the city centre for about 100 F). Keep a water bottle handy to beat the heat and humidity.

Taxis cost 1000 F plus 130 F/kilometre 06:00-20:00 (230 F/km at night) anywhere on the island, so they’re extremely expensive to use within the city. Their frequency drops after 18:00, and you may not able to locate them easily on the travel route. The better way to find one is to approach the nearby taxi stands along the waterfront. Not many taxi drivers would be willing to go on meters. Confirm the fare (in French, if possible) before getting into a taxi, and don’t be afraid to refuse if you think the fare is too high.

Top Attractions in Papeete French Polynesia

  • La Plage de Maui

In the list of things to do in Papeete, La Plage de Maui deserves its place well. The shallow lagoon with its crystal-clear water is truly inviting. A walk on the shoreline’s pearly white sand is the favourite of tourists, particularly, in the morning or evening. The beach also features restaurants offering fresh seafood and beverages at the most affordable price.

  • Fautaua Waterfall

If you think rain to be a spoiler to your Papeete holiday, you could be wrong. In the rainy season, this popular waterfall reaches its youth. The water shines further with the sunlight getting refracted from it. To reach the waterfall, you’ll have to take a pretty arduous hike, which is probably best done with a tour guide. Find a knowledgeable guide from your tour operator.

  • Papenoo Beach

The shores of Papenoo – a small village located a little more than 5 miles along the eastbound road from Papeete – are reminiscent of the island’s tumultuous natural history. The Punaauai Beach (also known as the PK18 Beach due to its location on the road) features ebony sands that reach down into the clear blue waters of the South Pacific. And best of all, this beach doesn’t see nearly as much tourist action as La Plage de Maui on Tahiti Iti. That said, you will have to fight for waves with the island’s surfing community.

  • Plage du Taharuu

Plage du Taharuu is a famous beach marked by its volcanic black sands, leafy green palm trees and its width. Deep blue water and frothy white waves below and the azure sky above make a perfect landscape that leaves an indelible mark on the memory of visitors. The beach also boasts ideal swimming conditions and you may even see some surfers working on their skills. If you want some refreshments, get your favorites from a nearby on-site snack bar.
