The Papeete waterfront and green mountains of Tahiti seen from the harbor

Papeete (Tahiti) Shore Excursions

Top-rated port tours for cruise passengers, with live prices and reviews.

Top-Rated Papeete Shore Excursions

Ships dock right on the Papeete waterfront, a short walk from the covered municipal market and the city’s cafes. Island drives circle Tahiti’s coast to black-sand beaches, blowholes and waterfalls, and the ferry to Moorea leaves from the same harbor.
