You can charter a yacht, perhaps with a captain and chef, to sail among the islands. Lagoons, passes and outer reef dives offer aqua-culture at its best, with an abundance of all kinds of sea life, from the tiniest, beautifully colored tropical species, to awesome large varieties, such as rays, sharks, occasional sea turtles and more. If you have at least one week, you can enroll in a complete resort certification course during your vacation. If you are already a PADI, NAUI or SSI member, your certification is recognized. Most hotels offer Tahitian post-dinner entertainment on a regular basis.
Dancing is a popular evening entertainment in Papeete.
Taxis and buses are available, as well as car rentals. Bicycling is also a very popular mode of getting around. Duty-free shopping is mainly available on Tahiti only. Except in hotels, all shops are closed on Sundays. Many of the hotel rooms on Tahiti are air-conditioned.
