Visitor Info

Tahiti Tourism is the main tourist hub for all of French Polynesia. You can find a local office through their Web site, which is full of comprehensive information on trip planning, weather, interisland travel, wedding planning, events, lodging, and tours. Visit the site first, but the offices are also good about responding to specific queries.

Online Travel Tools

As far as the South Pacific goes, Tahiti is fairly plugged in, and there is considerable information to be found on the Internet. Although most Web sites seem very Tahiti-focused, they often provide information and links for other islands in French Polynesia, and they also provide the most reliable information. Just like Tahiti Tourism is the main hub for French Polynesian tourism, Tahiti Internet sites are the main hub for French Polynesian information. Tahiti.com is a hodgepodge Web site of general information on cruises, lodgings, and what to see and do. Tahiti Explorer features general tourist information, with a focus on lodging and discount packages. Tahiti Nui Travel is one of the primary tourism companies in French Polynesia; their Web site contains travel information, including package deals. Tahiti1 contains useful information on Tahitian history and culture, as well as food, festivals, and recent news. Tahitipress.pf is a comprehensive online news magazine in both French and English, with everything from surf stories to government happenings. Totally Tahiti contains a wide variety of information from culture, to air travel, to visa requirements. Polynesian Islands has some general information, but it has a unique connection of Web-links for the rest of French Polynesia. Polynesian Cultural Center offers information on Hawaiian and South Pacific cultures. The Marquesas offers information for the Marquesas islands.
