Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / April 2006Bringing Alcohol to Tahiti?
We are planning a trip soon to Tahiti to do some diving. Does anyone know if there are any rules about bringing alcohol to Tahiti? If you know of a site that could give me that info, I would appreciate it. Thanks. > We are planning a trip soon to Tahiti to do some diving.

From the tourist page: ========================================================== Upon your arrival in French Polynesia, you must declare all goods you are carrying with you and pay the relevant duties and taxes to the customs office. No duties or taxes to pay You can profit from the following franchises per person : * 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 50 cigars or 250 grams of smoking tobacco * 2 bottles of alcohol, champagne or wine * 1 bottle of perfume (50 g) and 1 bottle of Eau de Toilette (1/4 l) * 500 grams of coffee * 100 grams of tea Nevertheless, alcoholic beverages and tobacco are not permitted for people under the age of 17. ========================================================  SignatureRay Contreras =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Webmonkey for: http://www.ossystems.com http://www.bobs-garage.com http://www.clanwolverine.org http://www.holugt-usa.com > > We are planning a trip soon to Tahiti to do some diving.

I guess I'll just have to do what I usually do and fill my empty perfume bottle and Eau de with some good scotch. > I suppose, as usual, they won't let a person swap out the perfume, Eau de, > coffee and tea for a good bottle of booze or two. > > I guess I'll just have to do what I usually do and fill my empty perfume > bottle and Eau de with some good scotch. What some people may not know: they sell booze in Tahiti. What they need are decent bartenders. I ordered a martini at the Moorea Intercontinental - it was on the menu, after all - and got a room temp glass of vermouth with a vague hint of gin. > What some people may not know: they sell booze in Tahiti.
