How safe is Papeete for women?

This is a pretty safe place compared to most places! Like any city after it gets late there are people drinking around and that’s when it gets a bit less safe. During the day it’s great! I’ve never felt unsafe walking around here but there’s a bit of toxic masculinity I noticed sometimes nothing major however!

Local people are really helpful and nice. They will help you if you are in need. I feel safe in the city and also around the beaches. Also it’s a small town that welcomes a lot of tourists so people are use to share with foreigners.
