What to bring
Most things can be purchased on the island
Bring adequate hiking tools for the big shifts in weather
Be cautious about infections. Mosquito and bug spray on site are good. Topical antiseptic
Rather than four seasons like many may be used to far from the equator, the year in Tahiti divides up into a wet season and a dry season. January will be the wet season, but still expect a lot of warm weather and sun! Bring your favorite summer and beach wear, though be prepared for occasional brief bursts of rain. Raincoats are great for this, whether you bring your own or buy them on the island. Rain panchos are popular among the locals as well, and are great especially if you plan to rent a scooter.
