It is an overseas country (pays d'outre-mer), the only territory with this status. French Polynesia is and has been the dream destination of travellers for many decades; you don't get much more beautiful—or expensive—than this. ## Understand driving side#Q142 French Polynesia is an archipelago in the South Pacific. It includes picturesque blue waters, moss-green peaks, turquoise lagoons and a traditional culture in an overseas territory. Tahiti and its islands cover 4 million km² of ocean, which is the same area as the European Union. The land above sea level accounts for some 7,000 km² consisting of 118 islands, grouped into 5 archipelagos (4 volcanic, 1 coral). The French government administers education, justice, defence and internal security, while a local parliament takes care of other day-to-day affairs. Makatea in French Polynesia is one of the three great phosphate rock islands in the Pacific Ocean, the others are Banaba (Ocean Island) in Kiribati and . Climate Tropical, but moderate. Natural hazards: occasional cyclonic storms in January. Very humid. The average ambient temperature is 27°C (80°F) and the waters of the lagoons average 26°C (79°F) in the winter and 29°C (84°F) in the summer. But most resorts and hotel rooms are air-conditioned or cooled by ceiling fans. Summer is from November to April, with a warmer and more humid climate and winter is from May through October, when the climate is slightly cooler and drier. When you step out of the aircraft, you'll immediately notice that the air is warm and humid. Terrain Mixture of rugged high islands and low islands with reefs. Highest point : Mont Orohena 2,241 m (6790 ft) Diverse landscapes: Valleys cut by rivers and waterfalls Crests leading to summits attaining heights of more than 2,000 m (6,500 ft) Seashore paths bordering remote creeks overshadowed by cliffs. History Since Polynesia was one of the last places on earth to be settled by humans, the Polynesians had only inhabited these islands for less than a thousand years before their "discovery" by western explorers. Several marae (religious sites) still exist, scattered throughout the islands as evidence of this inhabitation. The British discovered Tahiti in the mid 1760s and visited there in 1769 to observe the Transit of Venus before sailing on to the south and west in search of the fabled Terra Australus Incognita with the assistance of a Polynesian navigator. The annexed various Polynesian island groups during the 19th century. During the 1960s and 1970s, the French conducted atmospheric nuclear tests in the islands, primarily at Mururoa atoll. Testing later moved underground after international protests from other Pacific countries, including a flotilla of yachts and a warship from to monitor tests in 1974. Testing continued into the early 1990s, despite attempts to disrupt them by environmental activists. In September 1995, France stirred up widespread protests by resuming nuclear testing on the Mururoa atoll after a three-year moratorium. The tests were suspended in January 1996. The islanders have been working towards autonomy and economic independence from France. However, the process is a gradual one and is expected to take a decade or two to occur. Visitor information Tahiti TourismeThe official tourist office has reception desks in Papeete, Faa'a and Uturoa.

By plane French Polynesia has a very remote position in the South Pacific Ocean, so unless you are already there, flying is the main option. The flag carrier of French Polynesia is [Air Tahiti Nui](http://www.airtahitinui.com/) and the main airport is the Faa'a International Airport built on the lagoon, about 5 km west of near several major hotels such as the [InterContinental hotel](https://tahiti.intercontinental.com/). Air Tahiti Nui flies internationally to , , , and (with fueling stop in LAX). There are also flights to Honolulu (Hawaiian Airlines), Los Angeles (Delta, and Air France continuing on to Paris), San Francisco (United and French Bee continuing on to Paris), Fiji & New Caledonia (Air Calin), Auckland ([Air New Zealand](http://www.airnewzealand.com/)). [LATAM](http://www.latam.com/) previously had flights Easter Island and on to Santiago but no longer does. Passengers arriving on international flights must collect their baggage, go through customs and then recheck-in at the domestic flight counters some 50 m to the right of the International arrivals area. By boat There are cruise ships on irregular schedules, and cargo ships on regular schedules travelling from , , and . The islands are something of a hub for sailboats between South or Central America and Australasia, and it is not impossible to find passage for yourself on a yacht, but it is challenging. ## Get around The territory of French Polynesia has about the same surface as the but the combined land area (all islands and atolls) is just about the size of . Most people live on the two islands of Tahiti and Moorea. These islands have street networks and public transport (including good touristic infrastructure). To jump from island to island there are different options: By plane [Air Tahiti](https://www.airtahiti.com/) offers domestic flights to other destinations in . A new company, Air Moana, has joined in with flights to Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Raiatea, Moorea, Huahine, Nuku Hiva, and Fakarava. Charters flights such as Air Archipel are available on request. Helicopters are another option. Air Tahiti operates 11 turboprop aircraft (four ATR42-500 with 48 seats, five ATR72-500 with 66 seats, one Beechcraft with 8 seats and one Twin Otter with 19 seats). Most of the inter-islands flights in the Marquesas are operated with Twin Otters.

Passes start and usually end at Tahiti or Moorea. The itinerary does not need to cover all the islands of the Pass. All flights must be reserved and confirmed. The full journey must not exceed 28 days. The islands of one archipelago must be visited before moving to the next archipelago (e.g. islands of the Society archipelago must be visited before those of the Tuamotu archipelago). The islands within an archipelago can be visited in any order. Stopover or transit in Tahiti within the Pass is not allowed, except for the Lagons Pass between Moorea and the islands of the Tuamotu Archipelago, for a Pass with Extension, between the Pass and the Extension, where a maximum of 24 hr transit in Tahiti is permitted. Only one stop per island (of more than 24 hr) is allowed. A transit (less than 24 hours) with a flight number change is considered as stopover. Exception: change of flight number with a transit of less than 2 hours in Rangiroa on Bora Bora to Tikehau, Manihi, Fakarava or vice-versa flights. Change of reservations is not permitted after the Pass has been issued. Air Tahiti suggests the following multi-island itineraries: Society Archipelago: 2 islands: Tahiti - Moorea - Bora Bora (or Huahine or Raiatea) - Tahiti 3 islands: Tahiti - Bora Bora - Raiatea (or Huahine or Maupiti) - Tahiti, or: Tahiti - Moorea - Huahine - Bora Bora - Tahiti, or: Tahiti - Moorea - Bora Bora - Raiatea - Tahiti 4 islands: Tahiti - Moorea - Huahine - Raiatea - Bora Bora - Tahiti 5 islands: Tahiti - Moorea - Huahine) - Raiatea - Bora Bora - Tahiti Society Islands and North Tuamotu: 2 islands: Tahiti - Bora Bora - Rangiroa (or Fakarava, Manihi or Tikehau) - Tahiti 3 islands: Tahiti - Bora Bora - Rangiroa - Manihi (or Fakarava or Tikehau) - Tahiti, or Tahiti - Moorea (or Huahine, Raiatea or Maupiti) - Bora Bora - Rangiroa (or Fakarava, Manihi or Tikehau) - Tahiti 4 islands: Tahiti- Moorea - Huahine Or Raiatea) - Bora Bora - Rangiroa (or Fakarava, Manihi or Tikehau) - Tahiti North Tuamotu Archipelago: 2 islands: Tahiti - Rangiroa - Tikehau (or Fakarava or Manihi) - Tahiti, or Tahiti - Ahe (or Tikehau) - Manihi - Tahiti 3 islands: Tahiti - Tinehau (or Manihi) - Rangiroa - Fakareva (or Tikehau) - Tahiti, or Tahiti - Fakarava - Rangiroa - Manihi - Tahiti 4 islands: Tahiti on F - Ahe on Su - Manihi (on Tu or W) - Rangiroa (on F or Sa) - Fakarava - Tahiti Marquesas Archipelago: 2 islands: Tahiti - Nuku Hiva - Hiva Oa (Atuona) (or Ua Huka or Ua Pou) - Tahiti 3 islands: Tahiti - Hiva Oa ((Atuona) - Ua Huka (or Ua Pou) - Nuku Hiva - Tahiti 4 islands: Tahiti - Hiva Oa ((Atuona) - Ua Huka - Ua Pou) - Nuku Hiva - Tahiti Society Islands - Tuamotu - Marquesas: 4 islands: Tahiti - Bora Bora -Rangiroa - Nuku Hiva - Atuona - Tahiti Austral Archipelago: 2 islands: Tahiti -Rurutu - Tubuai (or Rimatara) - Tahiti, or: Tahiti - Tubuai - Raivavae - Tahiti 4 islands: Tahiti (on M) - Raivavae (on W) - Tubuai (on F) - Rurutu (on M) - Rimatara (on W) - Tahiti Check-in at the airports begins 1 hour and closes 20 min before departure time (except for flights to Rarotonga where check-in begins 2 hr and closes 45 min before departure time). By boat Ferries (sometimes combined cargo and passenger boats like the Aranui) travel between most islands. Catamarans and ferry boats cross between Tahiti and Moorea several times a day. Schooners and cargo boats serve all the inhabited islands from Papeete. Rotations vary according to the destinations: from three times a week to the Society Islands to once monthly to the Island of Mangareva. Two cruise ships/luxury liners ply the islands: the Paul Gauguin, which does a regular 7-day trip around the Societies, with occasional trips out to the Tuamotus, Marquesas and Cook Islands; and the Tahitian Princess which does similar itineraries. A great way to see the islands, unless you're on a tight budget. The Bora Bora Cruises is a more intimate vessel based in the Leeward Islands. Or for more adventure, embark on the Aranui III. [Yacht charter Polynesia](http://www.windward-islands.net/) Windward Islands, one of the world's largest yacht charter companies, can take care of all charter requirements, from bareboat to luxury yacht in French Polynesia. Operating from different offices worldwide (United Kingdom, United States, Hong Kong, Dubai, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Switzerland). ## Talk The official languages are and with French being the language of business and government and Tahitian being the language of day-to-day discourse. English is also widely spoken particularly in tourist areas. Polynesians appreciate any effort in trying to speak their language. The words below are the ones you might recognize during a conversation: Aita = no E = yes Fare = house Ia ora na = Good Morning or Hello Ma'a = food Maeva = welcome Maita'i? = How are you? Mauruuru = Thank you Nana = Goodbye or See you later Manuaia = Cheers or Toast! Pape = water Tama'a = Let's eat Tahitians have a tendency to mix up French and Tahitian words in their conversation, so don't be surprised. Be aware of the many dialects of which Polynesians are proud: Tahitian, Tuamotuan, Marquesan and Mangarevan (in the ). The inhabitants of each place often cannot communicate between each other in their respective languages. ## See In Tahiti Pointe Vénus 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 earth. Today it's a popular, shaded black-sand beach overlooked by an impressive lighthouse. The Gauguin Museum (Musée Gaugin), about 50 km from Papeete on Tahiti Nui, contains artefacts from Gauguin's time in Tahiti, including reproductions of many of his paintings. Open-air buildings and a gift shop are situated in a well-manicured lawn just next to the ocean, well away from the city and resorts. Botanical gardens are just next door. The Museum of Tahiti and her Islands, about 15 km from Papeete, contains really great displays of Polynesian history, culture and ethnology. Anyone who is interested in anthropology or the history of the Polynesian culture should see this museum. For pearl lovers, there is also the Robert Wan Pearl Museum in Tahiti. ## Do French Polynesia offers some spectacular diving and snorkeling. Divers can legitimately expect to see literally hundreds of fish and other marine species as they drift through the underwater canyons. There are diving centers on 11 of the 118 islands of French Polynesia. Moorea is known for sharks dives (reef sharks and lemon sharks here). Bora Bora has a breathtaking lagoon featuring manta rays and sharks on a coral wall. ## Buy Money Banknotes, international credit and debit cards and traveller's cheques are accepted. The international banks with foreign exchange offices on Tahiti and the most frequently visited islands are the Bank of Tahiti, the Bank of Polynesia and Socredo. Banks will charge a commission fee for each exchange of, for example, 1,010 F. The exchange office at Papeete Fa'a'a airport charges only 700 F (Feb 2019), but the spread between its buy and sell rates is much wider than that of the banks. The euro is exchanged in banks and exchy bureaux at 119.33 F for €1 (buy or sell), so your only cost is the commission fee. International hotels also provide currency exchange. Some atolls and islands in the Austral and Gambier group have no banking facilities. Many businesses that deal with tourists, such as taxi drivers and souvenir vendors, will accept US dollars at a rate of 100 F to US$1 (Jan 2019). Costs Everything is very expensive in French Polynesia. Even budget accommodation is tough on the budget, as is food, even groceries. So if you visit, take lots of money, you will need it. Jewellery Black pearls are the high-end purchase in this part of the world. They are beautiful, and of varied quality, so buyer beware, and the sky's the limit. There are lots of inexpensive mother-of-pearl jewellery that make very nice gifts. Created only by the giant black-lipped oyster Pinctada margaritifera which thrives in the lagoons of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the rare Polynesian black pearl varies in colour from silver through dark grey with green and pink highlights. This Tahitian jewel makes an exquisite and unique souvenir. For visitors who wish to discover the secrets of Tahitian pearls, a visit to one of the pearl farms on the island of , in the , is an experience not to be missed. ## Eat Fine food in Tahiti and nearby islands is typically a natural style of cooking based on fresh products exotically blended. There is a presence of European cuisine within a tropical setting. Asian cooking has also added its own tastes and textures. Fish of all kinds, whether tuna, bonito, mahimahi or the many varieties of lagoon fish are prepared in many different ways: roasted, boiled and raw. The top-rated dishes are raw fish (poisson cru) à la tahitienne which is marinated in lemon juice and coconut milk and the very popular Chinese ma'a tinito (which is a mixture of pork, kidney beans, Chinese cabbage and macaroni.) Family occasions and celebrations are the time for a huge tamara'a Tahiti (Tahitian-style feasts) where a meal consisting of suckling pig, fish, breadfruit, yams and fe'i bananas is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed in an earth-dug oven over layers of hot rocks. The larger hotels organize big buffet evenings that offer a vast panorama of local culinary delights accompanied by traditional dance performances. Tourist-oriented restaurants will typically be quite expensive (hamburgers and pizzas from 1400 F, other mains starting at 2000 F), but you can also eat well at snacks (small restaurants) and roulottes (food trucks), where the locals eat. These will serve hamburgers for 700-800 F, steaks or chow mein for 1000 F, grilled mahi-mahi or tuna and poisson cru for 1200-1400 F (Jan 2019). Tipping is not a custom in Tahiti or the nearby islands. ## Drink Bottles of water are readily available. Being a French territory, wine is common and easy to find. As this is a tropical island, a multitude of fruit juices from pineapple juice to coconut milk are to be found everywhere. Pineapple juice from Moorea is not to be missed! It is sometimes better to crack open your own coconut yourself and drain it for lunch. Orange juice is the states favorite drink and oranges are grown all along the coastlines. If you're a fan of beer, the Hinano Beer will definitely be one you will like to taste and bring a few cans home. ## Sleep Around 50 international class hotels can be found on 12 islands covering three different archipelagoes - Society, Tuamotu and Marquesas. Although the islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora provide over 80% of hotel capacity, the lesser known islands are also opening top-of-the-range establishments. Several international groups are established: InterContinental, Sofitel, Novotel, Meridien, Sheraton, Orient Express, Club Med and Radisson. Two local chains, Maitai and South Pacific Management, complete the hotel scene. Although complying with international standards, Polynesian style has been respected in the overwater bungalows with the use of pandanus, bamboo and shell light fixtures. Some bungalows are fitted with glass-bottomed tables for watching the fishes without ever getting your feet wet. For travellers who prefer the simplicity and authenticity of the local experience, family hotels are the ideal type of accommodation. The welcome is warm and friendly. Family hotels are divided into four categories: Bed and Breakfast, Holiday Family Homes, Family-run guest houses, Family hotels. Bed and Breakfast: furnished bungalows limited to four dwelling units per home and able to accommodate twelve persons, equipped with bathrooms either private or shared.
