Getting To and Around Moorea Because of the close proximity to Tahiti, Moorea is quick and easy to reach. Moorea's airport is served by Air Tahiti with 10-minute flights from Faa'a Airport departing every 30 minutes. Air Tahiti also has regular flights between Moorea and Huahine, Raiatea, and Bora Bora. Passengers ferries operate up to six times daily between Moorea and the waterfront in downtown Papeete. Transportation from the airport or ferry dock to the hotels should be arranged in advance by your Preferred Travel Company or by your hotel. Taxi service is also available, and the public transit system, Le Truck, operates between the main villages and the ferry. The circle-island and interior roads are best discovered through hired excursions or by renting a car, while motorboat and outrigger canoe rentals are enjoyable ways to explore the lagoon and surrounding motu. Yachts can be chartered with or without captain and crew, and helicopters are available for island tours or for transportation to and from Papeete, all of which can be arranged in advance or at the activity desk of your resort or cruise ship.
