Tahiti's weather was mostly perfect, sunny but a bit humid. Loved the fresh seafood but places can be pricey, budget at least a week. The vibe is super chill and locals are really welcoming.
Loved Bora Bora but be prepared for the shock on hotel prices. The lagoon is unreal beautiful, perfect for snorkeling, though expect crowds at popular spots.
Food was a mixed bag, some meals were incredible, others just meh. Try as many local fruits as you can, they’re amazing. Watch out for unseen tourist markups near main towns.
Pro tip: Avoid the peak tourist season (July-August) if you can. Island feels way less crowded and accommodations drop prices a ton in shoulder months.
Stayed 10 days, felt great to pace myself between beach days and island tours. Some islands felt crowded during midday, so plan early mornings. Definitely bring reef-safe sunscreen.
