I visited Tahiti with my girlfriend earlier in the year for a week. Many people spend very little time on Tahiti itself and head straight for one of the other islands, such as Moorea or Bora Bora which are more remote, ‘romantic’, exclusive and expensive! We found there was plenty to do on Tahiti itself, however we did hire a car to explore the whole island… driving there isn’t too challenging as long as you keep your wits about you.

I definitely recommend going to Place Vaiete in Papeete on a evening to eat at the ‘roulottes’.
