Map Pack - Tahitil



To get a good idea of what you might want to pack, it can be helpful to know what the locals wear. Since Tahiti experiences tropical weather almost year-round, people often wear clothes that are light, flowy, and breathable. Think Hawaii, but even a little more laid back than that!The whole time, I saw locals wearing mostly dresses, skirts, tank tops, shorts, and sandals. I never saw anyone out in a cocktail dress, super form-fitting clothing, or flashy name-brand clothes.




Map Pack - Tahitil




Normally, I use the largest backpack airlines allow as my personal item on planes. This just makes life a bit easier because it doubles as my backpack for hikes and a regular bag for day-to-day excursions. That being said, you can likely get away with bringing a small clinch bag that has shoestring straps. These kinds of bags are okay for a shorter hour or two-hour hike, but I advise against them for longer hikes.


Summer with a warmer and more humid climate is from November to April, and winter is from May to October, when the climate is slightly cooler and drier. When you step out of the airplane, you'll immediately notice that the air is warm and humid. Consequently, besides your camera and your extra memory cards, do not forget to pack lightweight cotton clothes, sunscreen lotion and a baseball cap or a wide brimmed hat. Synthetic fabrics can get hot and sticky in the tropics.


Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for French Polynesia (France) for a list of health-related items to consider packing for your trip. Talk to your doctor about which items are most important for you.


When you visit French Polynesia beaches, always be respectful, pack out what you pack in and care for them like a local. Now grab a towel, some sunscreen and a good book to prepare to lounge in the sun on some of the best beaches in Tahiti.


I have an in-depth packing guide for Tahiti that I recommend you checking out. It also includes a free printable packing checklist that will make life a lot easier as you prepare for your trip. Below are some items I would highly recommend you pack:


Air Tahiti offers domestic flights within French Polynesia to 47 of the islands. Keep in mind that they offer Air Tahiti Passes that allow you to travel to multiple islands in one trip for a packaged price.

Consider an additional stopover after or before your Tahiti vacation at one of Goway's other South Pacific destinations. You can choose from our selection of Australian vacations, New Zealand vacation packages, one of our Fiji resorts or perhaps take a Cook Island vacation.


Great Tahiti vacation packing must reflect that you will be far from stores (as you know them) and getting around often requires a boat ride! Plus Air Tahiti has strict baggage allowance for inter-island flights.


Now you know what to pack for Bora Bora you can get started. When you are done, weigh your bags. Luggage allowance for Air Tahiti inter-island flights is 20 kg/45 lb per person and strictly enforced (due to plane size). Divers may have 5kg extra. Carry on hand luggage is 3 kg/6.6lb.

If you are coming from the Australia, Bora Bora is easier to get to because it is geographically much closer than Hawaii. However, you will need a passport, and there may be a language barrier.Lastly, if you are coming from the U.K., unfortunately neither Hawaii or Bora Bora are very easy to get to. Either destination will likely solicit over 20 hours of flight time.You can read all about the logistical difficulties of flying to Bora Bora (i.e. strict luggage policies, etc.) in my Bora Bora honeymoon packing guide.


If you have purchased an international roaming package or otherwise added international roaming service and turned on your wireless phone abroad, it will automatically search for a wireless network. When the name or network number of the local operator is displayed, your phone should be ready to use.
