Hello Everyone,
A friend and I are taking a two week stop over in Tahiti and the surrounding islands while in route to New Zealand. The only problem is that we have two huge bags (including skis and climbing gear), which we obviously do not want to be carrying around with us for two weeks. Does anyone know of a place where we can store our bags in Tahiti while we travel for two weeks; maybe at the airport or a storage facility? Any ideas would be very helpful. Thank you!

You can store things right in Faa'a.

If they bitch about it, you can check it back out and back in again every time you come through there, which you have to do in most cases between islands anyways.

Ed, I owe you big for this one :)

This was a question we've been asking ourselves for years!
