Polynesian cuisine is a unique cuisine. It is a diet that has been influenced by the culture of the Pacific Islands.
The food is largely based on seafood, but also includes other meats such as pork, poultry and beef. The most notable feature of Polynesian cuisine is its use of coconut milk in many dishes. The cuisine also uses taro root, yam, breadfruit, banana, and pandanus leaves to make various dishes.
As of December 6, new requirements for entry and transit in the United States require an RT-PCR or antigen test to be taken less than 24 hours prior to departure from French Polynesia, applicable for all travelers aged 2 years and older.

Preparing your trip to Tahiti…We live in a tropical area, so we suggest wearing light cotton clothes: shorts, cotton slacks or jeans, summer dresses, swimsuit… A jumper or a light wrap is a good idea since temperatures can drop on top of the mountains or at night during the dry season (July-August). You may also want to bring a windbreaker or a raincoat since showers may happen.
Lockdown can be relaxing; lockdown can be boring or even hectic for those working from home while home schooling their kids… but at e-TAHITI travel we decided that lockdown should have some Tahitian vibes.
Our team put together a list of special Polynesian activities or ideas which we hope will make your lockdown a bit sweeter.
Have fun and feel free to share!

A trip to French Polynesia would be incomplete without venturing beyond Tahiti and Moorea. Magnificent, secret islands, nestled in the heart of the most beautiful lagoons on the planet, await your visit. You will find incredible wildlife, especially underwater, and come face to face with the soul of Polynesian culture. By plane to save time and fly over the atolls or by boat to discover the water, it’s up to you how you will reach these corners of paradise.
Your trip to French Polynesia will be full of surprises. 50 kilometers from Tahiti, the atoll of Tetiaora will bewitch you. It is here that the royal families came to rest. In 1789, three deserters from the Bounty came here to seek refuge. Marlon Brando discovered the island during a walk with a fisherman during the filming of the movie “Shipwrecked of the Bounty”, in 1969. In front of the beauty of the landscapes and the splendor of the 13 islets, called motus, the actor remains speechless. The atoll fascinated him so much that he decided to buy it.
Traveling in French Polynesia is a dream come true. Breathtaking landscapes and a friendly welcome from the inhabitants will mark out your stay. Each of the islands of the archipelagos conceals unique treasures. There is no lack of activities. Contemplative and sporty people will find something to do on land, underwater or in the air. Diving, hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle are alternatives to discover the landscapes of Polynesia from another angle.
Traveling invites us to open our senses. A destination is to be discovered, felt, smelled, listened to, and savored. In French Polynesia, you’ll be amazed. But not only that. The flavors of traditional Polynesian cuisine will enchant your palate.
Moorea, Papeete, Bora-Bora are all names that evoke an immediate desire to escape to French Polynesia. Vahines, dream beaches, surfers’ and divers’ paradise: the five archipelagos with their 118 islands call the traveler like a siren.
Why not pack your bags and go there? What if you choose Polynesia for your next vacation? Whether you are planning a trip to Tahiti and her islands or you still have doubts, you will need some preparation.
