There are 118 islands comprising The Islands of Tahiti, of which Tahiti is the main island and the home 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 The Islands of Tahiti 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.
