.Tahiti and French Polynesia (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tahiti
by: Becca Blond, Celeste Brash

May 01, 2006
Far from being fully comprehensive, this guide is pretty vague. Not bad as a rough guide, and admittedly has some useful numbers that I don't know where else I would have found, which is the crux of this book's success. There is no real competitor (it would seem) that has backpacker budget information. If you are looking for a mid-price or luxury holiday then there are better guides. French Polynesia isn't exactly the budget travellers haven that Thailand or even Fiji can be and there are less options for the financially challenged tourist. However the guide could be a lot more comprehensive with the information there is available.

Do not take any prices or times in the book at face value - I found most prices a little higher ... Read More:

.Moon Tahiti (Moon Handbooks)

by: David Stanley

October 05, 2007
I'm dreaming about a trip to the French Polynesian Islands. With 118 islands and atolls this area has all the enjoyment of a tropical island paradise without all the tourists. There's a lot to do, everything from swimming with the dolphins, scuba diving, hiking, and mountain climbing. Plus with only an average of only 200, 000 visitors a year (as compare to the seven million that go to Hawaii each year), I know I'll actually be able relax on the beach and enjoy my vacation.

About the only issue I have with the French Polynesian Islands is the cost. Prices can be a little expensive, especially in the larger more touristy islands of Tahiti and Moorea. Fortunately, Moon Handbooks Tahiti has come to my rescue.

by: David Stanley

November 28, 2003
During my visits to the South Pacific, I always had one of David Stanley's guidebooks in my backpack. Stanley has been writing about these islands for 25 years. Like his other Pacific guides, this fifth edition of Tahiti Handbook (which includes the whole of French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Easter Island) is completely packed with all kinds of information for the traveller.

While planning, Tahiti Handbook helps you find out which islands will be more interesting, easier or cheaper to visit. Stanley gives a good idea of what to expect in the islands, while you can still have a great adventure and discover things on your own. In the Pacific, this guide will save you money and trouble. Accommodations of all categories are described, ... Read More:
