We docked at Papeete, Tahiti at 8:00 a.m. We walked ashore and visited craft areas and shops. The Tahiti pearl Market is located about a five minute walk from the cruise ship. It is one of the largest pearl stores in French Polynesia with 3 floors of pearls and 200,000 loose pearls.
We returned to the ship for lunch, then met our 1:15 excursion. This was an off the road adventure into the wilderness of Tahita. We rode in the back of a 4-wheel-drive vehicle which was incredibly bumpy. There was a stunning display of lush green exotic tropical plants and trees. The area has over 500 waterfalls with one being the highest in the islands. The rainfall is over 30 inches a year. We were gone for over 4 hours so it was too late for our dinner in the dining room. The Lido was having a barbeque so we enjoyed eating at the pool.
The entertainment was traditional dance and music from Tahiti.
