Rules in force · 9Pavements are narrow and the heat is high
  • Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
  • Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
  • Polynesia ↗In much of Polynesia Sunday is kept for church and family: expect shops, tours and some flights to stop, and dress and behave quietly in villages.
  • French Polynesia ↗Entry rules are set by France but separately from Schengen: EU citizens enter freely, other passports should check the French government's rules for French Polynesia, and an onward ticket is required.
  • French Polynesia ↗Declare food, plants and animal products on arrival; moving plants and soil between islands is also restricted.
  • French Polynesia ↗Drive on the right, as in France; scooters and cars can be hired on the main islands.
  • Tahiti and Moorea ↗Moorea ferries can be cancelled or delayed in rough weather: keep a buffer before an international flight.
  • Papeete ↗Pavements are narrow and the heat is high: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Papeete ↗After dark, take a taxi door to door outside the waterfront; the quiet streets behind the centre are poorly lit.
