Tahitians like to make merry, and Papeete has lots of good choices for visitors who want to join in the fun.
Tahitian Dance Shows
Each of Tahiti's big resort hotels has shows at least 1 night a week. Not to be missed is the Grande Danse de Tahiti troupe, which usually performs at the Inter-Continental Resort Tahiti (tel. 86.51.10) on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings
Papeete has a rather unique flavor as far as its nightlife is concerned. An ambitious blend of local Tahitians, (including Chinese blends, various Polynesian islanders, Mahus, gays, and tranvestites), along with the French citizenry, Australians, Americans, assorted traveling Europeans, and the ever present "tourists" from parts of the globe both far and wide all converge on French Polynesia's nightlife. The center for most of the activities is along Papeete's waterfront road near the main dock and Ferry quay. In less than 1/4 mile in either direction from the ferry dock can be found the majority of all the bars, nightclubs, restaurants, "private clubs", cyber cafes, etc.
There are basically 2 pockets of evening activities along this waterfront strip: 1) Around Le Retro and across the street from the main ferry wharf, and 2) The businesses along the far easterly side of town with Club Paradise as a good marker.
