Papeete
Papeete is the political capital of French Polynesia and the cultural capital of Tahiti. If you’re looking to dive deep into the culture of the island, this is the place to do it. With seemingly endless shops and restaurants, your casual wanderings will lead you through the Vaiete and To’ata squares, and past charming local favorites like the Papeete Market and the yellow Notre Dame Cathedral.

Polynesian Culture
The island of Tahiti is located in the “Polynesian Triangle,” and was first settled around 4000 BC. If you’re interested in learning more about this rich cultural history, there are plenty of opportunities to do it. You can visit giant open-air stone sanctuaries called Maraes, watch beautiful Tahitian dances with traditional music like thunderous drums, conch shells, and harmonic nasal flutes, or take in local hand-crafted goods likes weavings, quilting, wooden sculptures, drums, and hand-dyed items.

Diving
Diving is one of the most popular activities on the island. The alluring diving sites of Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti are well-suited for both beginner and advanced divers. These spots allow you to explore clear and shallow waters, steep oceanic drop-offs, sunken vessels, walls of bright coral and schools of exotic fish.
