Papeete is the capital of Tahiti, the largest of the Society lslands in French Polynesia, roughly half way between Australia and California. Tahiti is really two mountain peaks linked by an isthmus which slopes down to the ocean.Tahitian and French are the local languages. English is understood, however many do not speak it. The climate is tropical and divided into two seasons: wet & dry. December-February is considered to be the wet (rainy) season. When figuring out what to pack on the cruise, remember that this time of year, thunderstorms are very common. It's going to be hot and humid, with occasional showers.
Divers will be happy to note that normal water temps are in the 28 to 29°C (82 to 84°F) range; currently the water is 83 degrees.
