Our Editorial team's advice

Among all different water sports activities offered by all major hotels, do not miss out on a sail mini-cruise (often on a catamaran) for a day or at sun set. It is the best way to observe, from the lagoon, the superb panoramas of the island. You can also rent a sail boat with or without a skipper. If you dream of a 100 % Polynesian holiday, choose to stay with local people: a thatched fare by the lagoon will generally be suggested. It is the best way to go straight to the heart of Tahitian life style (information and addresses at Papeete Tourist Office).
