Itinerary Details
Swain Destinations: Relax in Moorea
Day 1 Arrive in Papeete
Papeete, Tahiti's port capital, is much more than a stepping stone to the outer islands; it is a delightful blend of island sleepiness and cosmopolitan chic. Both early discoverers and modern tourists cherish the city for its sheltered bay. The broad avenue along the waterfront is always abuzz with activity. Explore the hibiscus lined streets in the early morning cool and treat yourself to a breakfast of crepes from one of the charming snack vans edging the streets. Trace artistic brilliance on a Gauguin half day tour, window shop the boutiques, sip the local Hinano beer at an outdoor cafe, or indulge in a sunset cruise. On Sunday mornings wind down with the locals by visiting the municipal market where stalls of handicrafts tempt tourists, and daily catches of seafood sit alongside bouquets of bananas.
