Thanks for the video. I haven't been to Tahiti for 40 years when I camped at Matira Point on Bora Bora for $2/day. The largest barrier reef (reef wall) in Hawaii is off the east side of Oahu. It stretches from Kahuku in the north to Makapu in the south and it protects most of the east side from open ocean waves.
Spent 40 years going to Hawaii! Got boring and over populated. Discovered FP and absolutely love it! So our yearly trip to Hawaii is done..3 hours more of flight time and it’s truly paradise. Tahiti the culture is still there, and not built up or over populated. Papette is similar to Oahu…yuck but once you explore the other islands…you’ll NEVER go back to Hawaii!

As always, a wonderful tour, and tips from your travels! Thanks Jim!
Great video! Very informative! I’m ready to go visit both!
I have visited Hawaii three times and enjoyed it very much. However, I have never been to French Polynesia but would love to visit.
No comparisons! French Polynesia is a world of it’s own plus french food!!

See you in Fatu Hiva
Papeete is a shit hole, the French government need to clean it up. Restaurants will blatantly rip you off by over charging.
So is parts of Oahu!
No comparison at all. Hawaii is like Vegas with a Beach.
