Moorea dock

What dock will the ship ferry to? Will there be taxis there?

[Emdee]

The ship usually anchors at oponohu bay and tenders yo that Dock. However, occasionally if a larger ship is in town it anchors at Cooks Bay and tenders to that dock.

 

There are always taxis etc hanging out in either areas.

 

My only word of caution is to make arrangements for your pick up and drive to the dock with your taxi driver in advance.

Taxis can be rip offs here. Negotiate!

What would be a good rate for a taxi from the dock to and from the Lagoonarium?

[twin123185]

Never been sorry.

I usually rent a car here. 15 years ago was my first experience here with a taxi. I just remember ending up paying 1/2 the original quote. A few years ago I didn't rent but wanted to go to the juice factory which is a 10-15 minute drive and all the drivers wanted $100. That's the cost of a rental car there for the day. I just walked away not even trying to negotiate I was so pissed off. They think anyone getting off the PG, or any ship for that matter is rich. Got my juice in Papeete anyway!

We have paid $20-$25 each way from the dock to the Hilton. The lagoonararium is at least twice as far. Not that they would double the fare but $40-$50 each way might happen, hence the potential logic in renting a car.

I think we paid $40 each way to the Sofitel last year. Maybe we will rent a car next year.
