To Tahiti Iti, the remote smaller peninsula of the island.

Drinking coconut milk from the coconut, eating at the roulettes (restaurants on wheels on the Papeete waterfront), going to the market on Sunday morning.
O: What mistakes do you see visitors make?
Going to downtown Papeete on a Sunday afternoon because everything is closed at that time!

The "Matira Point" to enjoy the sunset and view of the beautiful lagoon.

To Maupiti island, the smallest and wildest island near Bora Bora.
O: What mistakes do you see visitors make?
Some guests forget their licenses (car, boat...). They also forget to put sunscreen on.
