I have a very wonderful time in Tahiti. The people there were very kind and welcoming. They have a very wonderful museum sharing their culture. The island is accessible with a bus that goes around to different areas. And the views are stunning.

How safe is Tahiti for women?
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.
