A note from your host Ia ora na — I'm Céline. I've lived in French Polynesia for several years and I've been hosting travelers for ten. A few days before you arrive, I'll send you a personal guide to the island: the restaurants I'd send my own friends to, the markets actually worth your morning, the dive sites, the lookouts most guidebooks miss. I can also arrange an affordable airport transfer if you'd rather not deal with logistics after a long flight. I'm reachable throughout your stay and I usually answer within the hour. Whether you're staying three nights or three weeks, my hope is that Fare Tupaia feels less like a rental and more like a friend's place — one with a particularly good view. — Céline

Everything was great. Celine communicated quickly and graciously. Note: the elevator was not working during our visit. It will be fixed soon. But double check if you have mobility issues.
