Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
Make your trip to the Windward Islands a real getaway by renting a boat in Papeete, the dynamic capital of Tahiti. Tahiti, the main island of French Polynesia, is full of interesting tourist sites to visit. Its assets include its paradisiacal setting and its enchanting sea, but also its fascinating culture.
An impressive stroll in Papeete
It is impossible to stop in Tahiti without visiting the lively capital of the island. Start your stay in complete serenity and discover Papeete, a very lively multicultural city. Admire its busy boulevards and picturesque harbor, then stroll through the market to capture its colorful atmosphere. Colorful fruits and vegetables, vanilla and monoï oil will fill your basket.
Still with the aim of capturing the unique character of Tahiti, visit the Robert Wan Pearl Museum. This charming place exhibits the precious black pearls of Tahiti and gives you the opportunity to buy some if you feel so inclined. In parallel, the Tahiti and the Islands Museum, Te Fare Manaha, also offers exhibitions of pearls and handicrafts. Want to immerse yourself in the traditions of the island? Attend the various performances given at the Tahiti museum. The museum's magnificent gardens host various festivals and concerts, especially in July. The best known is the Heiva Tu'aro Maohi, a spectacular traditional sports festival.
Tahiti, a dream destination
After this particularly fascinating stroll through Papeete, liven up your trip with activities that are as fun as they are invigorating. A first approach is to explore the peaks and valleys of Tahiti. You can choose between a mountain bike, jeep, quad bike or even a foot tour. The less adventurous can try a round of golf.
But the favorite pastime of yachtsmen remains the discovery of all the beautiful islands of French Polynesia from the side of their sailboat or motorboat. Your sea voyage will allow you to stop off at Moorea, Bora Bora and Raiatea. Between visits, water sports enthusiasts can enjoy snorkeling and water-jet-powered motorized craft. Surfers will find what they are looking for at Teahupoo, known for its indomitable waves.
