Tahiti Nightlife
Written by MichaelZ on February 28, 2012 – 3:32 am -There is nothing more magical or serene then watching the sun sink low behind the coral reefs and lagoons that Tahiti is famous for. But as the sunset changes the sky from blue to pink with every shade of orange and red finally ending in an explosion of purple and black, the nightlife on the island is just beginning.
Start of the night with a magical journey by visiting restaurants serving French, Chinese, Vietnamese and Polynesian cuisine. Order yourself Poisson Cru, which is better known as “ia ota” when searching for traditional Polynesian food. This is a national dish consisting of red tuna, marinated in coconut milk and limejuice.
In keeping with the traditions of Polynesia, dinner must be accompanied by a show. In Tahiti traditional grass skirts accentuate the hip swiveling, while the music consists of drumbeats on instruments made from sharkskins; this is the ‘ote’a. Fire is featured in another example, where the loincloth-clad dancers are energetic in their twirling of live fire.
If you prefer to eat on the go as you stroll along the streets there are many sidewalk cafes and mobile cafes known as roulettes that offer everything from crepes to pizza.
Judging by the drinking establishments and clubs who line the waterfront it’s clear that Tahitians enjoy having a good time. Many of the clubs and bars feature extended hours. Tahitians are able to party, “bar hop” or “pub crawl” as late as possible during the week, and through the night during the weekend.
The upper expensive scale houses many private clubs or discotheques into which tourists are permitted. These private clubs offer everything including poolrooms and dance floors with live music and one even offers under the same roof, a cyber cafe, bar and disco hall.
As beer is a national drink in Tahiti, you will be able to enjoy a bottle of Hinano beer while Tahitians are playing on their guitars.
But on the more risqué side Tahiti also offers a wide variety of late night strip clubs and shows. One famous club features male transvestites, better known as “rae rae” performing as female impersonators.
But if you are even more daring and adventurous why not try getting a legendary tattoo from where it all began. The word tattoo actually comes from the Tahitian word “tatau” which means, “to strike”. There are many tattoo artists that still use the original black Tahitian ink for ancient tribal designs and the design is tapped into your skin using the traditional boar’s tusk comb.
