Dear fellow friends,

If you are looking for a nightlife experience while on vacation in French Polynesia (what ? ... you're not in honeymoon like all the others ??), Tahiti is definitely the place to check. And actually don't miss it, it will be the only one during your entire trip... Apart from Tahiti (and maybe Moorea and Bora Bora), nightlife will remain invisible on most other islands. Don't be mistaken ! This does not mean that locals don't like to party but they usually prefer private garden parties with barbecues and the Hinano beer, our national beverage ;-)

Cheers !
