Currency
Rimatara
The local currency is the French Pacific Franc (XPF). There are plenty of ATMs and banks in Tahiti however access can
be difficult in the outer islands. Major credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, boutiques and other tourist
establishments. We do recommend you carry some local currency for smaller purchases.
Note: AUD$1 = 78 XPF approximately.

Q
Australian passport holders do not currently require a visa for a stay as a tourist of up to three months but must hold a
passport with six months validity beyond the date of departure from French Polynesia.
If you are a non-Australian passport holder please check your visa requirements with the appropriate Embassy or
Consular office. Please note you may also require a transit visa for New Zealand if you are flying via Auckland.

Passports & Visas
As your Tahiti specialist, our team is brimming with suggestions to create a unique and
unforgettable itinerary for you. With 118 amazing islands to discover there are endless possibilities,
from wild and enticing to pristine and luxurious. Tahiti & Her Islands await you…
A
French Polynesia is also known as Tahiti & Her Islands. There are 118 islands comprising French Polynesia, of which Tahiti
is the main island and the location of the capital city of Papeete. Faa’a International Airport is located on the island of Tahiti
approximately 5 kilometres west of Papeete.
From Australia, Air Tahiti Nui is the international airline to Tahiti & Her Islands. It offers flights from Australia to Papeete,
via Auckland.
International flights arrive on the island of Tahiti. Due to crossing the International Dateline, most flights from Australia
arrive the day before they depart. Holiday packages in French Polynesia will usually require one night in Papeete before
travelling to another island the following morning. Most passengers returning to Australia will require one night in Papeete
prior to departure, as flights leave early in the morning.
Air Tahiti is a private, domestic airline which links all five archipelagos. Travel between some islands, such as Tahiti to
Moorea, can be made by high-speed catamaran.
We recommend booking the same hotel chain throughout your visit, as ‘Island Combo’ specials are available. We
also recommend booking transfers throughout your visit as many resorts are located on islets within the lagoon, only
accessible by boat.

Tips from the Team
Tips from the Team
If you’re looking
for untouched
beaches and
stunning lagoons,
head to Huahine
or Maupiti.
Island
hopping is
easy with
an Air Tahiti
airpass.
Why not combine a stay
on a high volcanic island
(such as Moorea or Bora
Bora) with a few nights
on a low lying atoll (such
as Rangiroa or Tikehau)?
Tahiti does not have to be
expensive! There is a great
range of accommodation styles
to suit a variety of budgets.
If you’re
looking for
five star
luxury, Bora
Bora is for
you!
Pensions are the best way
to see authentic Polynesia.
They give you the unique
opportunity to interact with
local people.
French Polynesia is a
wonderful destination
for families who love
spending time together.
For a truly cultural and
“off the beaten track”
experience, visit the
majestic Marquesas
Archipelago.

Tahiti

Tahiti
Tahiti is the largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia and
flights to Tahiti arrive into its international airport, Faa’a. Papeete is the capital city and the
commercial hub of French Polynesia. Papeete has a colourful market offering local food,
hand-made crafts and souvenirs as well as a range of pearl shops, bars and restaurants.
There is so much more to Tahiti than Papeete - majestic valleys, rich archaeological sites,
striking volcanic peaks and a stunning turquoise lagoon.
Tahiti is an island of hidden treasures!
Our Must Dos in Tahiti
• Eat at the local food vans, Roulottes, located at the waterfront in downtown Papeete.
• Venture down the stunning west coast to Teahupoo and see THE wave.

• Wake up early to witness the locals selling their fresh fish and vegetables at the
Papeete central market … then stick around to do some souvenir shopping of your own!
• Browse the many pearl shops of Papeete and find your own precious Tahitian Black Pearl.
