[Jolly Amaranto]

You can get by with only English. I had the most problems with restaurant menus. Fortunately my wife still remembered enough high school French to decipher them. The snorkeling is not as nice on Tahiti as the other islands. Over fishing has taken out so many species that keep the algae under control so it has taken over on the reefs and is killing all the coral. Tahaa had some awesome drift snorkeling in the reef on the north side.
