For Services and Resources in French Polynesia
The Tahiti Cruisers Guide is brought to you by Julien Desmont from Xperimental and Chuck Houlihan from Jacaranda. Starting as an idea based on the very successful Panama City Cruisers guide, it has evolved into 200+ pages of information on vendors and services throughout French Polynesia. In January 2018, we added GPS coordinates and links to Google Maps to assist in locating businesses.
Downloading the guide and GPS map coordinates will facilitate using the guide offline. The coordinates will work for either Maps.me (best for Papeete) or Google Maps.
Especially thankful to John (SV Mary Ann II) and Steve (SV Ocean Star) for their huge effort in supplying a vast amount of information for the guide.
The guide is a community effort. Updates and new additions are greatly appreciated. If you find the guide useful or find something that needs updating please drop us a note at tahiticruisersguide (AT) gmail.com

12-21 SV Kiapa Nui Speaks excellent English, including medical terminology. He is timely, very friendly, skilled/experienced, professional, and has a great 'bedside manner'. We were referred to him by our GP Dr. Prevost. He and his husband own the clinic with their offices and the procedure rooms. I don't remember the name of their anesthesiologist but he was also good (but only speaks French). Dr Cougard's staff of assistants and nurses was also exceptional. The facility was clean, well equipped, comfortable, and modern without being "flashy" if you know what I mean. After the procedure Dr Cougard met with us to give a detailed report of his findings and to answer any questions with patience and detail. When I had a last minute question on the Sunday afternoon before my procedure I sent a message to his clinic email address and was stunned to quickly get a personal reply from him answering my question in a friendly familiar but professional way. So far he's impressed me to the point I'm comfortable ranking him amongst the top doctors I've experienced.
