With its tropical climate and pristine beaches, Papeete is a traveler's dream vacation destination. When you take a break from the beaches, you may want to take a trip on a glass-bottomed boat, go snorkeling among the stingrays and sharks, or jet ski. Remember to take the time to book a tour to explore the lush interior of the island and look for the wildlife that lives there.

The dry season is early May through late October, and flights during this time are usually a little pricier than the wet season, which is from November through April.
