Papeete is a great base for exploring the Island of Love’s lagoons, black and white sand beaches and volcanoes. The active night scene centers around the ferry dock. For an authentic island experience, visit Mapuru a Paraita market or Musee de la Perle, to find local black pearls. November through April is Papeete’s humid, wet season. Trade winds cool the island year round. « less
