While Tahiti evokes thoughts of the paradise, we found it to be very busy. It’s the most populous island with more cars, noise, and even traffic jams! But with all that also comes the huge Carrefour grocery store with everything Fay could want to buy. And restaurants, Tahitian dance contests, some reasonable diving, a great marina and really nice people!
