CASUAL
WALKING
Casual walking on Tahiti is a great thing to do if you can get to an area where there's somewhere to go. Due to the fact that most of the coastal land is privately owned, there are only a few good trails and stretches of uninterrupted beach to just casually stroll along. If you're staying at one of the larger hotels, you can enjoy walking around their grounds, but your walk will be fairly short. So, with this in mind, your walking options are:(coming soon)
WITHIN PAPEETE:
You can certainly stroll around Papeete easily enough, but you'll always be dealing with the traffic. The best casual walk within Papeete's downtown is along the waterfront. If you're feeling energetic, you can walk from the Sheraton hotel all the way to the marine base at the east end of Papeete, roughly 1.5 miles, or you can just go downtown and wander in the direction that strikes your fancy. If you keep the water in view, you can't get lost.
ON TAHITI & TAHITI ITI:
The farther you get from Papeete, the less population and cars there are, thereby turning the main coastal road into a nice place to walk. East or west, it doesn't matter. Just get out of town.

BICYCLE
RIDING
What a great way to see Tahiti! Healthy and fun, bicycle riding is a really popular activity. Tahiti has a paved road encircling the entire island that's just perfect for riding. The little peninsula of Tahiti Iti is probably the better place to ride, due to less traffic, but a strong rider can ride the entire island of Tahiti in a day. There are a few places to rent bicycles on the island: listings coming soon...
