Must-visit: Papeete Market
Recommended reason: This is the most down-to-earth place in Tahiti, located next to the Papeete Ferry Terminal, originally the meeting place of the first territorial council, later extensively renovated to become the center of Papeete's nightlife. When night falls, colorful food trucks gather here, offering a rich variety of local delicacies, Chinese food, and desserts. Additionally, there is a handicraft market in the square, and traditional bands often perform on the music stage, attracting a lot of people.
Moorea Island
Moorea Island is not far from the main island of Tahiti, a 40-minute ferry ride or a 10-minute domestic flight. There are not many international brand hotels on the island, and most tourists choose this island for its local cultural charm. Compared to Bora Bora, Moorea has a richer local cultural flavor. Moorea also offers lagoon snorkeling, but the marine life in Bora Bora is much richer, so it is recommended to save the sea activities for Bora Bora and experience the culture in Moorea.
Must-do activity: Dolphin Center
Recommended reason: This is one of the must-experience activities in Tahiti. The Dolphin Center is located at the InterContinental Moorea Resort, offering three packages: Moorea Dolphin Center Fun Tour; Dance with Dolphins; Dive with Dolphins. Children are only allowed to participate in the basic Fun Tour. This activity is loved by both adults and children from all over the world and is a classic must-experience activity.
