Tahiti (Papeete) Cruise Reviews

Shopped in Papeete and did a boat tour which was not the best but saw a turtle, a ray and some spinner dolphins. ...

Beautiful island, beautiful city. Very walkable from port, loads of shops and restaurants close by. Did snorkel here but was disappointed after Mo'orea.. water was clear, just no reefs.. ...

Get out and walk around and you find interesting things. Markets and restraurants ...

Touristy island. As a transfer point for a cruise, or as a pre-cruise stay, it is ok. I would not return to vacation on Papeete. The central Market is the draw, along with the many bars. ...

A bigger city in French Polynesia with plenty of shops and restaurants as the ship docks right downtown. ...

We rented a car and drove around the island. A good day. ...

Did a snorkeling excursion which was ok, but the location of it was disappointing. Would have been nice to be in a smaller lagoon area, with no other boats around. ...

the big island, great restaurants, food stores and friendliest people this side of TEXAS. ...

This big island is bustling with people and traffic but we had a fun day at the market. The colors and sights were amazing. It was pouring buckets of rain the day we were in port so the market was a perfect hideout. We stayed here pre and post cruise and had wonderful rooms at the Intercontinental. It’s a beautiful property! ...

Loved it but bring bug repellent ...
