How to reach Moorea

When you arrive in Tahiti, the plane fIies inevitably over Moorea Island which is just 17 kilometers away.

Moorea, "Sister Island" is famous for its magnificent lagoons where white sand beaches and turquoise waters contrast with the lush vegetation covering its mountains.

You have two options to reach Moorea Island on departure of Papeete.

By air, from Tahiti Faaa Airport which is just 10 minutes away from Papeete central city. AIR MOOREA provides out shuttles every hours to join Moorea Temae Airport.

By sea, from "Quai des Ferries" in Papeete, it's just a 30 minutes ride. Private companies carry out regular shuttles every hours to join Moorea Vaiare Harbour.

In Moorea, it takes about 20 minutes by car to join Dream Island, located on one of the two principal "Motus" in Moorea's lagoons. All along the road, you will be delighted by fabulous sceneries like the famous Cook's Bay, Opunohu's Bay and the impresive green covered crests which testify to the volcanic past of the Island.

You will also discover the numerous and picturesque churches dedicated to the different religious assemblies represented in French Polynesia. Moorea's inhabitants are as all the other polynesians, very stong believers.

This coast road joins the village of Haapiti, principal area for major hotels, commercial shopping and services of the Island.

The lagoon's crossing from Haapiti to Dream Island "motu" is about 3 minutes and is really a fabulous occasion to sail on the incredible turquoise waters, of rare purity, which have nothing to envy to those usually seen on traditional post cards.
