Because of its larger size and population, the island
of Tahiti has many transportation options.

Down-Town Papeete |
Upon arrival, transport from Faa'a International
Airport to your hotel or cruise
ship is quick and should be arranged by your preferred travel professional or by your hotel or cruise ship. Connecting flights to other islands on
Air Tahiti and Air Moorea leave from Faa'a
Airport. Passenger ferries to Moorea depart from
the waterfront in downtown Papeete.
To get around Papeete and the surrounding towns,
the public transit system offers two bus services:
the Le Truck allows frequent stops and
a unique way of meeting the locals while the large
white RTC motor coaches offer more conventional seating. Taxi service is also available from your hotel and is best
arranged by your hotel's concierge. Once in downtown
Papeete, the waterfront, restaurants, and shopping are within walking distance.
Escorted circle-island bus or 4x4 tours are the
ideal way to explore the points of interest around
Tahiti's coast and within the interior valleys.
Car rentals are also available from the airport
and your hotels. Other methods of exploring
the island include motorboat and yacht charters,
outrigger canoe tours of Matavai Bay, and helicopter tours-all of which can be arranged in advance or at the activity desk of your resort or cruiseship. |
