Ia ora na (hello) Scuba is better on Mo'orea - either in lagoons within reef or in deep water out of reef. Especially during whale watching season (August to October out of the reef) Mo'orea is the better place for scuba. But the best place overall is Fakarava, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Fakarava is famous for the blue wall of sharks and it is one of the best places for scuba all over the world. There are domestic flights to Fakarava either from Tahiti or Mo'orea. Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺
Thank you for the many informations, your videolog was excellent! I have two questions. 1. Internet. What about the net connection on Tahiti/Moorea and the little islands? Was it fine, fast, cheap or expensive? (Are there any companies for all the French Polynesia with phone and net packages?) 2. What do you think about to live there? What are your opinions and advices? Thanks again!
Incredible video, are you two full time YTer's? Really appreciate this! Thinking of taking the wife here, the original plan was to go to the St. Regis for 6 nights, but your video makes me think we should try 2 different places. Is this what you would recommend? The $$ is crazy 6 nights is like 6k USD and 650-700k convoy points!
If you’re looking for an authentic local island experience, yes! Just know there isn’t much to do on island, you’ll probably want to book a few excursions out to the reefs
Ia ora na (hello) Air France has daily flights from/to Paris CDG/Tahiti with technical/transit stop in Los Angeles, where you have to leave plane. You have to go through US immigration, even if you are only in transit to Tahiti (so Esta is needed). Other possibility is French bee from/to Paris Orly via San Francisco (same procedure as Los Angeles). And arriving at Tahiti airport Europeans can use fast residents/EU line. Overall it's a long way to get to our beloved South Pacific, but worth it. Before moving from Europe, we have been travelling here for several long stays and got in deep love with this wonderful part of the world. Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🤙
Thank you for the informative info. One questions about customs….Can I take gummies in to Tahiti? I’m flying from LAX to Tahiti then getting on a cruise ship. Thx
Awesome video¡¡ Very usefull :) What it is you best recommendation for choosing the luggage? What kind do you think is better? I saw the black extendable backpackage of your husband, but I guess he had another one. I will take my camera Sony Rx with the dive housing, drone, gopro and also my fins and mask besides all clothes. So it is impossible for me bring just one piece of luggage because i need to bring with me the cameras in the cabin. I will be travelling for 15 days in Tahiti, Moorea, Rangirona, Fakarava, and Tikehau. I can survive with just few piece of clothing. I am travel for diving, surfing and trekking. Thanks in advance¡¡
Hello , it's a helpful video, thank you for sharing with us your experience at French polynesia, I have a question we want to use the pass between islands and we don't know which island we have to choose first I mean the order priority island
Ia ora na (hello) Thanks a lot for the video. It's the best overall, I've watched by now and I watch a lot, bc I live in Mo'orea and I'm always interested what people tell/show about our paradise in South-Pacific. Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) - mauruuru roa (many thanks) 🤙🌴🏖😎🇵🇫🇫🇷🇪🇺🤙
Ia ora na (hello) Agree - exact difference: Air Tahiti is domestic airline between islands. Air Tahiti Nui is international airline, located at International Airport Tahiti Faa'a. Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🤙
Ia ora na (hello) There is scuba diving possible on most of islands. But the best place overall diving with sharks is Fakarava, UNESCO biosphere reserve.

Ia ora na (hello) You don't need to stay in an international luxury hotel resort (truly expensive). You find also cheaper options from local hotel resorts, local family pensions and bungalows with self-catering. French bee offers flights from San Francisco to Tahiti for a reasonable price. From Tahiti port to Mo'orea you can use ferry - roundtrip around 24$ to 30$ (depends on which ferry you take, there are 3 ferry lines). Within islands you can check prices online with air moana or air tahiti. You can also use express ferry (more authentical way of travelling within the islands) to other islands in long distance. You can fly to different islands also from Mo'orea. Overall you should consider a min budget (couple) of 7,000$ - 9,000$ for 7 to 10 days, depends on your flight costs, plans what to explore, your activities and where you stay. If you would like to stay in luxury, higher budget is needed. For example, one night (only breakfast) in cheaper room/bungalow in a luxury hotel resort starts from 500$ up to 1,200$ and higher in overwater bungalow. Btw Bora Bora is the most expensive island. Hope, this helps. Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🤙
French Polynesia is very French. The French-ness is everywhere in the culture, and it’s not going away. No one can change history; only accept it as it is and get on with life.
But that’s how it’s known everywhere in the world. It’s just a way of calling and I don’t think people associate it to France at all, don’t worry… but sorry if it’s offensive, it’s the name around the world! And it’s desirable more than anything. That’s amazing enough.
This is the most informative video about French Polynesia that exists on RUclips right now! Many thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Wow that means a lot thank you so much!
Great Video and full of useful tips from start to finish... i can not wait to go there and see if it is a Lumerian Paradise still in most areas?
Very helpful for me to compare the islands for my honeymoon. Now i know which to visit and for what reason. ❤
What an amazing video guys! Very well done 👍🏽
Thank you so much!
So beautiful! Looks amazing!

Definitely a very helpful video. Is the scuba better on Tahiti or Moorea? Thanks in advance.

Are there any Pinkertons in Tahiti? Asking for a friend
Very nice review. I still wouldn't feel comfortable with there being a lack of high ground around, though.

Great video! Would you recommend Rangiroa for people who don’t do scuba diving?

At 11:29, what is that waterproof phone case, please?? Thanks, great video!
Very detailed, thank you! Looking to go, it’s a bit far from Europe so hopefully we can make it work planning wise.
That's awesome! Hope you guys can make it work, and have a blast!

Thanks for watching! You have to know your order before you book the pass unfortunately!

Thank you so much i like your video ❤
Thank you so much!

Just need ONE BIG SCORE!!!
Thanks for the chapters.
Any time!
35 minutes to get through customs and get your luggage is incredibly fast, I've travelled world wide over 3 decades.
That is very slow for us hahaha we did 26 countries this year and this was the slowest one LOL
Haha if you clear US customs in less than an hour, you are lucky 😅
Took me 2 hrs to get out of airport.
Thanks.
What's a budget for 1 week visit?
@@hauvtoj if you’re doing 5 star resorts, around $8-10k!
any pinkertons there
Can we have videos of natives?
how is the new gopro?! LOLOL
HAHA it's working great!
My dream❤❤❤❤
💯
Thank you for the love!
air tahiti is a different company than air tahiti nui

I am interested in this location. I searched online for destinations with a low or nonexistent Muslim population.
How expensive is it?
You just need some money a plan and some faith

Please stop calling “french” Polynesia. We are not French aside from being colonized
You’re French shut up
Tako je!
