Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is famous for its stunning black sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrantly colored coral reefs. Frequently referred to as an island paradise, Tahiti offers an array of activities for visitors, including world-class surfing, snorkeling, and diving experiences. The island is also known for its rich Polynesian culture, exemplified through their traditional music and dance. The capital city of Pape’ete abounds with bustling markets selling local handicrafts, fresh produce, and Tahitian black pearl jewelry. The lush, mountainous interiors offer fascinating sites for exploration such as the Faarumai waterfalls and the Arahoho Blowhole. A must-visit, Tahiti encapsulates all one dreams of when imagining a tropical getaway.

It depends where you are on the island. Most of the time locals are friendly and warm. But as a woman never walk alone at night in town (Papeete) there is some crazy people. There are some neighborhoods you should avoids as well as they are known to be dangerous.
