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

7-24 SV Hanna I was glad to be able to make an appointment online, and it's great that he provides his cellphone number on his website for emergencies.

Over a weekend I had increasing irritation in the gum surrounding a root canal I had done many years ago. I made an appt online for a Tuesday, and got both an SMS and email confirming it.

At my first appointment, it was clear that the tooth needed both a filling and a crown. He had a cancellation and therefore had an opening that afternoon. (I declined because I would have been biking 6 miles back to Vaiare late in the day, unsure how I would feel about that if I needed any pain meds for the procedure). I made an appointment for a week later.

The day before, I got an sms asking to confirm, and after a few hours, because I didn't reply, I got a phone call to confirm appt next day. Communication was excellent.

They have modern equipment; they were able to model and make the crown and fit it all in one appointment, about 2.5 hours. For the initial visit, then the visit for the crown was about USD$1000, with the crown itself being almost two thirds of that cost. Very pleased with the result and happy to have it done so quickly, and pretty pain free.
