Ladybugdm Posted June 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'll be boarding the Paul Gaugin in Papeete in less than two weeks. Since I did not book transportation through the cruiseline, what do you suggest for transportation from the airport to the pier? Le Truck? Taxi? Specifically where would these be located at the airport? Any idea how much a taxi would cost? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 5, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2007 From the ship to the airport at 11:00pm end of April this year the taxi was 2,900 xpf.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybugdm Posted June 5, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks Wallaby. Where did you go to catch the cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted June 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I just asked the Customer Service Desk to book one for me. It was at the wharf at the appointed hour.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted June 6, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2007 A cab is definitely the thing to do. It's not hard to find your way out front the cab stand, it's a small airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybugdm Posted June 7, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thanks Wendy. I just got $100 changed into XFPs, so I'm good to catch a cab as soon as I clear customs. I know tipping isn't common in Tahiti, so do cab drivers expect tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruisingKaren Posted June 10, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Getting a taxi at the airport is easy. You will see them lined up as you exit. We paid 2000 XPF from the airport to the Hotel Tiare Tahiti which is across the highway from the pier. We paid in XPF because we had changed US dollars at the airport, but they would have taken US dollars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
