Need help with first time French Polynesia visit :-)Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
Hello folks, As part of our worldtrip we (2 person) are stopping in French Polynesia for 27 days (24th April to 20th May). We know it is a very expensive destination, but as it is “on the way” we decided to stop there. We are planning with a budget of 65€ per day per person including accommodation, food, tours and transportation within the islands itself. We are planning additional 600€ for transportation in between the islands. Not sure yet either we should try to go by boats (would be probably much cheaper than 600€) or buy an Airpass. My girlfriend is under 25. In the Lonely Planet it is mentioned that there is 50% discount for people under 25. Is that still up to date? We could not find any information about that on the Air Tahiti Homepage. We are wondering now which islands we should visit in this short period of time as there are hundreds of them. We definitely would love to visit an Atoll as we never have been to one. 1.) Do you think the budget we calculated will be ok? If it is way to less, we would have to consider to stay just on the society islands and so save money on interisland transportation. Thank you very much for your help! Happy travels :-) | ||
