description
New rules in Tahiti areas: it is NOW forbidden to use your own anchor. One MUST use mooring buoys. Where I am now, they are private and must be booked before arrival with a local who runs car safaris on the island; then you can stay for free, but the minimum price for a safari is 6500x4 persons or 26,000, in local currency (franc). It's incredibly beautiful. We first dropped anchor, but then the locals came and said it was not allowed.

Hurepiti Bay - Tahaa is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
The visits are retrieved from AIS data. You can click to see all visiting ships to Hurepiti Bay - Tahaa, as well as statistics about the ships that visits
