Tahiti Prices & Travel Costs

Last Updated: Jan 2022

As the capital and largest city of French Polynesia, Tahiti and its capital city of Pape’ete are not quite as idyllic and peaceful as you might imagine, but the island is filled with world-class resorts and it’s also a more interesting place than you might have guessed. French is the official language, but nearly everyone you meet as a visitor will speak English as well.
