CurleyfromFL Posted October 7, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2005 We are going on the Oct 31st sailing does anybody know if you can get tours with vendors at the docks? Or is it better to book all tours on the ship? I hope somebody can help. Thank you John & Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger1 Posted October 7, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2005 We're not going until next year, but from what I've been told, you can do either. Looks like if you book at the docks, you have a better selection and it's a bit cheaper...sometime a lot cheaper. Check out these boards for info on Marc's motu picnic, Bruno's tour, good places to snorkel, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurieb Posted October 8, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2005 book onshore!!! on Moorea, Bora Bora and Raiatea, there will be vendors for all kinds of sea and shore excursions. On Huahine, I would suggest that you book ahead via email with Marc's. It was the most fun we have ever had on an excursion. We have never actually made it onshore at Rarotonga so I can't help you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurleyfromFL Posted October 10, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Thanks Laura for the information on booking onshore. We are also going to Hiva Ova and Nuku Hiva do you know if you can book on shore there? We are not going yo Huahine. All of the tours in Hiva Ova off of the ship are all booked. Thank you for all of the information. JOHN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna5 Posted October 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2005 We just did the Marquesas and many of the tours were sold out by the time people got on board. The Nuku Hiva ones (there are only two different tours) were completely sold out. People got on waiting lists on some and did finally get on some.

Kevin's girl Posted October 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2005 So glad to hear that trips are available at the piers. Does anyone know if you can rent motorcycles on any of these islands? My husband has this idea that it would be a lot of fun driving a motorcycle around these islands. We have an old Honda in the garage that has not seen the light of day in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna5 Posted October 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2005 On Moorea it will depend on where Anchorage is. 2 years ago, we anchored and tendered into Opunohu Bay and there were many tours available. Many vendors of goods. And a rental car agency with cars at the tender pier. On the October 11th 2005, cruise we anchored off of Cook's Bay and there wasn't as much available.

poppy4kids Posted October 28, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Terri, On most all the islands you can rent scooters and cars but you have to get off the ship as soon as you can , thay do rent out fast. (no motorcycles that I know) have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific Sandy Posted October 28, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi - This will be our 3rd trip on the Tahitian Princess. From what I have seen of drivers and traffic in FP, I would not recommend renting scooters. It would be too dangerous. In Rarotonga, however, I would highly recommend renting scooters. We spent 3 weeks there a few years ago and travelling around by scooter was both fun and safe. You need to get a license from the Police Station when you arrive. The hilarious part is that you can pick up your scooter first, drive it to the Police Station and then get your license. That's the South Pacific in a nutshell!! Hope this helps.
