gilliansp Posted December 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Advice please. We will be arriving in Papeete at 6 am if the flight is on time and be staying 2 nights in Moorea pre-cruise. So we will be goung straight to the ferry tereminal from the airport. Is it better to pre-book the ferry and if so is it an open ticket for any ferry? How long should it take for us to get through customs, collect luggage and make our way to the port. So hard to judge these things. Grateful for any tips!

Rare Tahitianbigkahuna Posted December 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2023 no need to pre-book Getting out of the airport depends on where you are sitting in the plane. Also if your an EU country passport as I believe you can go through the shorter line. On average I give myself 45-60 minutes though it can be shorter or longer ...

Not necessary to pre-book. We are going to buy them at the port as I'm unsure of how long it will take from flight arrival to reaching the port. Although hoping to make the ferry deoarture around 9am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your arrival is around 6AM you should be fine to get the 9AM ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two companies ... both have a high speed ferry and it takes around 30 minutes. The Aremiti company also has a large older ferry for large trucks and such. It is slower and takes around 45 minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not walkable, as Kahuna implied, although coming back, you can waltz right over to your ship.
