Sharing a rental car with fellow traveller/s in Papeete, September 18 to 20

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia

Hi to u all,
I will be in Papeete from September 18 to September 20 and I am looking for some fellow traveler/s to share a rental car (which I have NOT arranged yet). Destinations will be: Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti and anything that's in between, like the Gauguin Museum & Botanical Gardens, waterfalls, Venus Point beach...basically, I dont have a detailed plan, and I am open to any suggestions. As of now, I am planning to come back to sleep in Papeete each night, but I can also consider sharing a room along the way to make it a 2-day no-stop tour...Must be back in Papeete by the night of the 20.

Please let me know if u r interested, or if u have any suggestions/idea.
U can reply to this post, or send an sms to my local Tahitian number: 26 49 47. (pl note: I will be in Easter Isl until the morning of the 18, which means that I will receive ur sms, and reply to them from Easter Isl, but will only be able to call u around noon of the 18).

I am a 42-yr old male traveler, not very big for night life, much more into day activities like trekking, snorkeling, surfing, etc. I do not smoke and prefer to travel with no-smoker/s.

Thanks a lot and see u soon :)
Tony

Sorry I'm a bit off topic but how did you get to Easter Island and how do you get onwards to Tahiti ? What is your route?
