We stopped by there on our way to the ferry, and really enjoyed all of the options. They had a seafood area with fresh catch of the day, as well as some arts and crafts from local vendors, as well as a variety of clothes. Definitely a cool little stop!

If you have limited time in Tahiti, I recommend the Circle Island Tour or a tour of the interior, but if time allows the market is a worthwhile stop. It's HUGE!

No visit to Papeete would be complete without at least a short stop at the market. It would also be easy to spend hours here. We spent about one hour and enjoyed it thoroughly. An amazing array of fish and produce is the star attraction but one can also find all manner of, if not “need to Havel items, at least “want to have” items. Go and have fun. …
