Papeete is often a quick stopover for travelers heading to Bora Bora or other islands in French Polynesia, but did you know there's a LOT to do in Tahiti? One pro tip we did learn on this latest trip, though, is not to arrive on a Sunday.

We flew into Papeete on Sunday around 6am and went straight to our downtown hotel to drop off our luggage. The famous Tahiti Pearl Market (Marché) closes at 10am on Sundays so we wanted to get there before it closed. The Market is one of the most fun places to shop in Tahiti thanks to the wide variety of jewelry, pearl qualities and fun local items.

One thing we did not take into account, though, was that no restaurants or other shops are open at all on any Sunday. So after 3 hours of browsing and racing against the clock to buy things before closing, we were starving.

Thankfully, we ended up stumbling upon our new favorite place, 3 Brasseurs, that started serving food at 11am. So with 45 minutes to go, we had a drink and relaxed.

We love Tahiti - even on a Sunday - but if you have the choice, try arriving on any other day haha!
