Getting to Moorea

Once you arrive in Moorea, there’s a choice of transport for exploring the island. You’ll find car rental offices at the airport and the ferry terminal, and there are many taxis services, based at the airport and close to the major hotels and on the quayside in Vaiare. Motor scooters are also available for rent and are ideal for exploring some of the coastal roads and tracks that aren’t easily accessible by car. Some hotels offer a free or charged shuttle service to the airport and quayside. There is also a bus service on the island, although it isn’t particularly efficient. If you prefer an ecological solution, then you can rent a bike, or an e-bike, to tour around the island at a leisurely pace and enjoy the magnificent scenery to the full.
