Itinerary

Day 1 Papeete

Papeete ("water from a basket") is the capital of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The commune (municipality) of Papeete is located on the island of Tahiti. Traveling tourists arrive and depart Papeete via cruise ship at Papeete Harbor or domestic airline at Faa'a International Airport, which was completed and opened in 1962. The downtown features some fine churches and a market, though Tahiti is most known for its secluded ocean beaches.

Enjoy a private airport transfer.

Kensington Tours donates a portion of proceeds to our charitable initiative www.kensingtoncares.com which supports education-based initiatives in disadvantaged communities.

Le Royal Tahitien hotel is located only three kilometers from Papeete and built on the grounds where the Royal Pomare Family, the last Ruling Dynasty, once lived and played. The Hotel offers a retreat where privacy and tranquility prevails. Take a stroll through an idyllic haven with flower-filled tropical gardens. Considered to be one of Tahiti's treasure spots, swim in the warm, untroubled waters of the lagoon or relax pool side with a tropical drink. Le Royal Tahitien is highly recommended for those" who want to get away from it all" for a truly relaxing experience.

Overnight at Le Royal Tahitien.
