Go to the beach, enjoy the sun & get tanned: PK18 (the best beach) or Beach House
It's the best time to put a pareo on!
Local people put monoï on their skin before going to the beach (to get tanned) or after swimming (to warm up the body). Monoï is made of coconut oil & tiare flower. It keeps the skin and hairs hydrated. Traditionally, it is the secret to beautiful black wavy hairs.

Iaorana, Noéline from the beautiful island of Tahiti.
Here I am sharing about my island, especially what local people do and where they hang out. Because, one day you may come to Tahiti, honestly who didn't dreamt about it? ;)
Okay, well maybe not Tahiti, but Bora Bora at least. Still, to get to Bora, you need to come to Tahiti first.
Māuruuru roa !
