Tahiti is dominated by mount Orohena and Aorai. It has been 200 years since Captain James Cook first anchored off the shores of Tahiti. However, it still evokes a sense of the idyllic South Seas. Papeete is the capital city of Tahiti, situated on the Northwest coast of the island. Papeete offers a gorgeous harbour with a new cruise terminal where all cruise ships depart from.
If you are looking for nightlife, within the city of Papeete is the only place you'll find any. At night in the center of downtown Papeete the streets come alive. You'll find Roulettes (open air dining carts) with local cuisine, live music (on weekends) and many bars.
