How safe is Tahiti for travel?

Tahiti, the largest island of the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia, is generally considered a safe destination, and a popular spot for beach lovers, honeymooners and adventure seekers. However, like any travel destination, travellers must keep some key points in mind for the city.

Firstly, considering security, the crime rate is incredibly low in French Polynesia, but you might have to face petty crimes like pickpocketing or bag snatching, especially in tourist hotspots and crowded areas. Everyone should follow the basic precautions, such as keeping valuables secure.

Secondly, for swimming and snorkelling, travellers should be aware of strong currents in lagoons and near reefs. Never forget to check with locals or tour operators about safe swimming spots.

Thirdly, Tahiti is also best safe for solo travellers & families and is known for its welcoming hospitality.

Fourthly, natural disasters are another concern for safety issues.  Cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes, and tropical storms are considered natural hazards for the region.

Why go To Tahiti?

Tahiti has all the makings of a honeymoon destination as miles of shoreline, dozens of resorts, and French cuisine. The region is often more of a stopover point en route to romantic getaways on smaller islands.
