Ask almost anyone to choose their
ideal tropical island paradise and
chances are Tahiti will be near the top
of the list, if not number one. Verdant
mountains rising up from turquoise
coral fringed lagoons, French chic
and a touch of luxury all contribute to
making Tahiti irresistible. Of course,
what we often simply call Tahiti is
really five archipelagos known as
Team visit to The Islands of Tahiti - January 2015
French Polynesia. Officially still part of
France, these islands have a distinctly Gallic flavour, perhaps best savoured through authentic
and delectable French cuisine. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also include
the gorgeous islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. Each of these islands has a rugged volcanic
heart abounding in forests and waterfalls. It is where the land meets the sea, however, which
creates the real magic of Tahiti and her sister islands. Coral reefs, alive with marine life, protect
shallow, impossibly blue lagoons – perfect places for swimming, watersports or simply
admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach. French Polynesia is also synonymous with the dreamy
concept of the overwater bungalow. Imagine being able to wake up in luxury and then go
swimming straight from your own deck. You might even have breakfast delivered by canoe.
The Islands of Tahiti offer a unique and memorable experience - Enjoy!

The local currency is the French Pacific Franc (XPF). There are plenty of ATMs and banks in Tahiti however access can
be difficult in the outer islands. Major credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, boutiques and other tourist
establishments. We do recommend you carry some local currency for smaller purchases.
Note: AUD$1 = 80 XPF approximately.

Australian passport holders do not currently require a visa for a stay as a tourist of up to three months but must hold a
passport with six months validity beyond the date of departure from French Polynesia.
If you are a non-Australian passport holder please check your visa requirements with the appropriate Embassy or
Consular office. Please note you may also require a transit visa for New Zealand if you are flying via Auckland.

Passports & Visas
As your Tahiti specialist, our team is brimming with suggestions to create a unique and
unforgettable itinerary for you. With 118 amazing islands to discover there are endless possibilities,
from wild and enticing to pristine and luxurious. The Islands of Tahiti await you…
A
French Polynesia is also known as The Islands of Tahiti. There are 118 islands comprising French Polynesia, of which Tahiti
is the main island and the location of the capital city of Papeete. Faa’a International Airport is located on the island of Tahiti
approximately 5 kilometres west of Papeete.
From Australia, Air Tahiti Nui is the international airline to The Islands of Tahiti. It offers flights from Australia to Papeete,
via Auckland.
International flights arrive on the island of Tahiti. Due to crossing the International Dateline, most flights from Australia
arrive the day before they depart. Holiday packages in French Polynesia will usually require one night in Papeete before
travelling to another island the following morning. Most passengers returning to Australia will require one night in Papeete
prior to departure, as flights leave early in the morning.
Air Tahiti is a private, domestic airline which links all five archipelagos. Travel between some islands, such as Tahiti to
Moorea, can be made by high-speed catamaran.
We recommend booking the same hotel chain throughout your visit, as ‘Island Combo’ specials are available. We
also recommend booking transfers throughout your visit as many resorts are located on islets within the lagoon, only
accessible by boat.

Tips from the Team
Tips from the Team
If you’re looking for
untouched beaches
and stunning
lagoons, head to
Huahine or Maupiti.
Island hopping
is easy with
an Air Tahiti
airpass.
Why not combine a stay on a
high volcanic island (such as
Moorea or Bora Bora) with a
few nights on a low lying atoll
(such as Rangiroa or Tikehau)?
Tahiti does not have to be
expensive! There is a great range
of accommodation styles to suit a
variety of budgets.
Bonus
Many resorts throughout French Polynesia offer
discounts depending on your length of stay.
These range from free nights to free room
upgrades, free meals, combined island tariff
discounts and long stay tariff discounts.
Look for this blue bonus logo throughout the
brochure to identify the resorts where bonus
deals are on offer. Contact us for the latest deals
available at your preferred resorts.
If you’re
looking for five
star luxury,
Bora Bora is for
you!
French Polynesia is a
wonderful destination for
families who love spending
time together.
Pensions are the best way
to see authentic Polynesia.
They give you the unique
opportunity to interact with
local people.
For a truly cultural and “off
the beaten track” experience,
visit the majestic Marquesas
Archipelago.

Marquesas. With just 200 passengers aboard, the ship offers an intimate and personal experience. The
rear portion of the vessel is set aside for passengers, offering guests a comfortable experience in tandem
with the ship’s primary task of freight transport. There are a range of cabin types available; spacious suites,
deluxe cabins, standard twin cabins and dormitory style berths with shared facilities. Three meals a day and
all shore excursions are included in the tariff. Note: A brand new vessel, the Aranui 5, is due to come in to

14 Day Marquesas Cruise
The Paul Gauguin was designed specifically to sail the shallow seas of French Polynesia, visiting small ports
that larger ships can’t reach and effortlessly blending into the stunning natural beauty of the South Seas.
She offers an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of the islands, coupled with five-star service,
comfort, and luxury. Spacious suites and staterooms (more than 70% with private balconies), an on-board
water sports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, and an extensive spa are among her
luxurious attributes. The atmosphere aboard radiates warmth, informality, and Polynesian flair. The troupe
of Gauguines - local Tahitians who serve as cruise staff, entertainers, and storytellers - add the unique
personality of Tahiti to every sailing.

INSURANCE
It is strongly recommended that, at the time of booking, you purchase a
comprehensive travel insurance policy of your choice. We suggest that
the policy should include, but not be limited to the following features: Loss
of deposit through cancellation, personal baggage, loss of money, medical
expenses, additional expenses to cover hotel accommodation and repatriation
costs to Australia should the tour or holiday need to be extended or curtailed
due to illness while overseas, or due to the need to return to Australia because
of unexpected death or illness of a close relative. Please consult your Travel
Agent on the insurance policy most suitable for your needs.
LUGGAGE
Luggage, including personal articles, is at all times and in all circumstances at
the risk of its owners except to the extent of any insurance purchased by the
customer. It is also the passenger’s responsibility to enquire prior to departure
about the restrictions placed by any carrier or tour operator on the amount, weight
or volume of luggage allowed and to comply with those requirements. Failure to
do so might incur additional charges or refusal to carry the excess luggage.
VISA, TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Passengers should familiarise themselves with any and all health or visa
requirements that may be applicable in the areas they intend visiting. They
shall be responsible for all exit, entry, health and other documents required by
laws, regulations, orders, demands or requirements of the countries visited
or transited. Each person shall carry a valid passport at all times. A Australian
Re-Entry Permit must be obtained for those not holding Australian passports.
Kindly note that passport and visa requirements are not our responsibility or
that of your Travel Agent and we are not liable for any loss or expense due to
a passenger‘s failure to comply with the above or any statutory requirement
made in any country whatsoever.
