Also save money by going to the supermarket and cooking meals but make sure you splurge a little and enjoy cuisines the island has to offer.

How will I stayed occupied? Tahiti is known for its beautiful beaches like black sand beaches, waterfalls, lagoons, and volcanos. Tahiti is usually traveled to because its beauty is untouched and secluded compared to your more popular island vacations.
