Tahiti

A visit to Tahiti and her islands is akin to stumbling upon a parallel universe where fantasy is just another form of reality and hedonistic daydreams come to life. French Polynesia has captivated the world's imagination since 19th-century European explorers first set foot upon her steamy shores.

Quick Facts

Time zone: GMT-10
Area: 4167
Population: 278963

Getting Around

French Polynesia is readily accessible by air from most parts of the world, the sad exception being the rest of the Pacific. Qantas, Air New Zealand, Air France, Aircalin and Air Tahiti Nui shunt most of the visitors, though Lan Chile provides access from South America (and Easter Island) and Hawaiian Air flies between Honolulu and Tahiti once a week. All international air traffic comes through Faa Airport in Pape'ete. There is no departure tax in French Polynesia. Cruise ships regularly call into the region and it's a favourite among yachties - crewing positions are sometimes available. There are distinct sailing seasons in this part of the Pacific. Yachts tend to leave the US coast in September or October, and between January and early March. From Australia and New Zealand, yachts depart after the cyclone season, around March and April.

Weather

French Polynesia has typical South Pacific temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F) at any time of the day, any day of the year. Humidity is usually high, but the even temperature and fresh sea breezes mean conditions are never too stuffy. The dry winter period from May to October is the best time to go; the weather is cooler and there is much less rainfall during this time. Temperatures rise during the summer rainy season (November to April) when it's humid, cloudy and very wet. Three-quarters of the annual rainfall happens during this period, mainly in the form of brief, violent storms. However, torrential rains lasting several days are not uncommon.

Tahiti

Hiva Oa

Hiva Oa contains some wonderful archaeological sites. One such place is Iipona, an exceptional me'ae (sacred site) featuring five monumental tiki (carved human figures). In the Faakua Valley are the Tehueto petroglyphs, where stylised, horizontal human figures have been carved into an enormous basalt block. The island is also noteworthy for being home to Belgian crooner Jacques Brel from 1975 to 1978.

Point Vénus

Point Vénus, the promontory that marks the eastern end of Baie de Matavai (Matavai Bay), was the site of Captain Cook's observatory, built to record the transit of Venus across the face of the sun to try to calculate the distance between the sun and the earth. Today it's a popular, shaded black-sand beach overlooked by an impressive lighthouse.

Cathédrale Saint-Michel

In the upper part of Rikitea stands the Cathedral of St Michael, ultimate symbol of despotic French Catholic missionary Father Honoré Laval's single-minded obsession. Built between 1839 and 1848, its altar is decorated with mother-of-pearl and the woodwork is inlaid with pearl shell. It can accommodate 1200 people - several times the population of the island today!
