 The main island of Tahiti’s capital city, Papeete, is the main port of call for the island and is home to a bustling harbor as well as the Faa’a International Airport. Papeete is also home to Le Marché, a large, two-story market located downtown where travelers can purchase many Tahitian products such as vanilla beans, monoi oil and colorful pareos. Travelers can easily find something special to bring home. Sundays are the best time to visit the market, as it’s busy with locals stocking up for a day of family gatherings and meals.

Another great place to visit in Papeete is the Robert Wan Pearl Museum, the only museum in the world devoted entirely to pearls. Visitors can purchase black pearl or simply learn about the history and practice of cultivating pearls. The museum also has exhibits that demonstrate the importance of pearls in art, history, mythology and religion.

Vai’ete Square is the place to be after dark. The lively boardwalk is a unique place to have an informal dinner or after-dinner dessert from one of the many roulottes, or food trucks, that gather there to serve a variety of cuisine and desserts. Travelers can choose from many affordable treats, from French crepes to fresh fish and pizza.

The allure of Papeete is undeniable. Its vibrant city atmosphere itself can satisfy a traveler’s wanderlust. Yet it’s so close to amazing outdoor adventures, such as hiking, diving and horseback riding. It’s a different kind of Tahitian experience, and one that travelers never will forget.

Why I became a Travel Agent?

  When I started advertising tours and cruises, some of my FB friends started to wonder: “Why did you become a Travel Agent?”. And I decided to answer it in my blog. The answer is very simple – because I was very fond of mathematics at school, and participated in the math competitions and I can count. “What’s the math here?” they asked. Make yourself some coffee, sit at your computer screens and watch my calculations, and you will understand everything. I have been living in America for 31 years. Approximately 25 years of them I was vacationing in the Caribbean, or other places (Europe Cruises, Canada, Mexico). And I usually went twice a year. And so, we do the math: On average, 1 trip for my wife and me costs about $3,500 x 2 times a year x 25 years will be approximately = $175,000. Considering that as a base number, further I traveled with friends + 2-3 couples and we booked tickets together, then this would be (let’s take only +1 couple) $175K x 2 = $350K. Imagine, if I had made the
