You don't need a travel agent to book your accommodation - just haggle with the locals when they meet you at the airport and stay in a residencial. Hire a 4WD, have a good guidebook and do it all yourself.

Here's some pics and tips from my trip:

I also went via Tahiti but I was coming from Australia so it made sense. Papeete was damn expensive and not that great, but if you have the opportunity to go out to one of the outer islands like Moorea, Bora Bora then I hear its unbelievable out there.
