Ia ora na les Tropicos!
The long-awaited moment has arrived: the draw to win a TiTi's Tahiti Tour , the most comprehensive tour of the island of Tahiti. And once again this year, French Polynesia enthusiasts turned out in force, with 1,962 people registered for their chance to win.
The setting chosen for the event was worthy of the occasion: the magnificent Tahua Motu Ovini park in Faa'a, a green place already featured on the YouTube channel and the Tahiti Pratique website.
With such a setting, all that was missing was a little suspense… and a tortoise.
A competition that continues to grow
This draw was already the 7th organized by Tahiti Pratique since the launch of the operation at the end of 2024.
A helpful reminder for regulars and newcomers alike: anyone registered for a draw remains automatically registered for future draws, unless they voluntarily unregister.
In other words :
- You register once
- You are automatically entered into future draws.
- You will continue to receive the best deals and news from Tahiti Pratique
- And you increase your chances of winning a nice gift
Convenient, right?
A bit like buying a lottery ticket that reuses itself… without needing to search for it at the bottom of a drawer three years later.
What does the winner win?
The prize up for grabs is not just any prize.
TiTi 's Tahiti Tour currently offers the most comprehensive island tour in Tahiti:
- Complete tour of the island
- Passing through Teahupo'o
- Discovering Tautira
- Ascent to the Belvedere
- Numerous stops and explanations
- A day that can last 10 to 11 hours
- And even a small aperitif offered at sunset at Pointe Vénus
It goes without saying that this is not just a simple stroll, but a true immersion in the queen island of French Polynesia.
And what about those who have already had the chance to visit Tahiti?
Good news: the winner can also give their prize to a loved one or choose a gift sent directly to their home.
When a turtle becomes responsible for the fate of 1,962 people
As in previous editions, the draw was not entrusted to a supercharged artificial intelligence, a quantum computer or a Polynesian druid.
No.
The heavy responsibility fell to Honu (or Poupette), the famous turtle mascot of Tahiti Pratique .
When contacted live by telephone, our star turtle was asked to choose a number between 1 and 1962.
After a few seconds of reflection that will likely go down in the annals of modern torture, his verdict was delivered:
1427.
A figure that has now become legendary.
Or at least in the archives of Tahiti Pratique.
The winner of the draw of September 23, 2026
Once the number was provided by the turtle, all that remained was to consult the list of registered users.
A few clicks later, the verdict was in:
Number 1427 corresponds to "NEMS".
This person had registered on September 20, 2025 , almost a year before the draw.
This just goes to show that patience sometimes pays off.
More precisely, in the form of a free tour of Tahiti.
NEMS will now receive an email allowing it to choose between:
- Participate in the TiTi's Tahiti Tour
- Give the winnings to another person
- Receive an alternative gift offered by Tahiti Pratique
However, one essential point remains a mystery: is NEMS a man or a woman?
Even the person in charge of the draw still seems to be searching for the answer.
Fortunately, it didn't change the outcome: luck was on his side. And one thing is for sure: Nems will never be devoured by the turtle, even wrapped in a lettuce leaf. There is, after all, a minimum of ethics among the mascots of Tahiti Pratique 🐢🥬😄
And what about the next draw?
Suspense lovers can already take note of this information.
The next draw is scheduled for Christmas 2026 .
With a possible small surprise: it could be done not from Tahiti but directly from Australia, or even Sydney, if the travel plans materialize.
One thing is certain: wherever it is, the draw will take place.
The tortoise, for her part, hasn't yet revealed her travel plans. What a secretive one ! But I'm sure she won't be able to resist the idea of seeing the most beautiful fireworks display in the world in Sydney on New Year's Day for long 😉
How to participate in the next Tahiti Pratique competitions?
The method remains simple:
- Register for free for the next prize draw or to subscribe to the Tahiti Pratique newsletter (if you haven't already done so)
- Stay subscribed
- Cross your fingers
- Avoid upsetting the lucky turtles
The fourth step is not officially mandatory, but it's best not to take any risks.
Ultimately
With nearly 2,000 participants, this seventh draw confirms the growing enthusiasm around Tahiti Pratique and the TiTi's Tahiti Tour .
Congratulations to NEMS , the lucky winner of this autumn 2026 edition.
For all the other participants, no disappointment: the next meeting is already scheduled for Christmas and luck could well change sides.
