When the sun sets in Tahiti, the island comes alive with revelers. Indeed, Tahiti is considered to be one of the most vibrant ports in the South Pacific. Dancing, dining, gambling and romance are nightly parts of the Tahiti experience.

Casinos

Get lucky at one of the three hotel casinos in Tahiti. The Pacifica, Prince Hinoi and Royal Papeete hotels now offer private, 24-hour gambling casinos. Spin the roulette wheel, or try your hand at blackjack, mahjong or poker.

Clubs

Toss off your inhibitions - and your shoes - and dance the night away at one of Tahiti’s many clubs.
Clubs provide an excellent opportunity for visitors to mingle with the locals. Some of Tahiti’s clubs boast a ballroom ambiance, while others jump to the driving rhythms of disco beat or rock ‘n’ roll.

More curious visitors will want to check out the clubs on the northern end of Boulevard Pomare, where sailors, writers, transvestites and other thrill-seekers gather for a good time.

Local Bars

Tahiti’s local bars possess an almost mythic quality. Packed with revelers, these no-nonsense, smoke-filled nightspots present a great opportunity for visitors to mix with the locals.

Outdoor Cafes & Bars

Romance awaits those who visit the open-air cafes and bars that dot Tahiti’s waterfront. From its swank coffeehouses to its modest yet lively saloons, Tahiti’s outdoor scene veritably crackles with action.
