Travel - Internal

AIR: Domestic flights run by Air Tahiti (VT) connect Tahiti with neighbouring islands (Bora Bora, Huahine, Maupiti, Moorea and Raiatea) and remote archipelagos (Tuamotu East and North with Manihi, Rangiroa, Takapoto and Tikehau; Austral Islands of Rurutu and Tubuai; Marquesas Islands of Hiva Oa, Nuku Hiva and Ua Pou).

SEA: There are inter-island connections on the many ferries, catamarans, copra boats and schooners that make regular trips throughout the islands. Daily connections exist between Bora Bora, Huahine, Moorea, Papeete and Raiatea.

ROAD: Traffic drives on the right. Bus: Basic buses, known as trucks, offer an inexpensive method of travel. They leave from the central market in Papeete town centre travelling to all destinations. No schedule is operated. Bus stops along the way are indicated by blue signs illustrating the truck, from where a wave of the hand will prompt them to stop. Taxi: Available in Bora Bora, Huahine, Moorea, Raiatea and Tahiti. Car hire: Major and local agencies, including Avis, Daniel, Europcar, Hertz and Tahiti Rent-A-Car, hire out cars on the main islands. Documentation: A national driving licence is sufficient.
