Papeete

The best time to visit Papeete is during the dry season, from May to October. The weather is sunny and less humid, perfect for outdoor activities. However, the shoulder seasons (April and November) can also be pleasant with fewer crowds.

Some must-see attractions include the Marché de Papeete (market), Notre Dame Cathedral, the Paul Gauguin Museum, and the waterfront area. Consider taking a day trip to Moorea or other nearby islands for stunning scenery and activities.

Papeete offers a delicious blend of French and Polynesian cuisine. Try fresh seafood, poisson cru (marinated raw fish), and local fruits. There are many restaurants and food trucks offering a variety of options, from casual to fine dining.
