Practical Information

Language: The official languages of Tahiti are French and Tahitian. However, many people do speak English.

Electric: Although Tahiti uses North American sockets, the sockets are not required to be polarized. Since devices such as laptops have a polarized plug with one prong wider than the other, you will still need an adapter to use your plug in Tahiti.

Currency: The currency used in The Islands of Tahiti is the Pacific Franc (CFP). However, all legal currencies and international credit cards are accepted. The international banks on Tahiti and the most visited islands have a foreign exchange facility. International hotels also offer this service. Most of the tourist islands have one or more bank agents.

Passport is required
