Drink in Gambier Islands
Despite French nuclear testing at nearby Muraroa the water is safe to drink, and bottled water is availible from small shops in town. Many of the locals, the land, and water have been tested for residual radiation. All came back clean. These tests were performed by Greenpeace. Furthermore, all water is rainwater collected by catchment from roofs. There are no streams/wells.
In Rikitea there are 2 small markets. One has a decent selection of alcohol, but you will pay dearly for anything but beer. A bottle of Absolut Vodka was priced at nearly $100USD. If you wish to have anything specific for you trip I would highly recommend bringing it with you from home, as prices even in Papeete are high.
At night the pensions, and couple small restaurants, serve beer (Hirono).
