Ticket office whereabouts

Once we arrived at the ferry terminal in Papeete we had a difficult time finding where the ticket office was to show our voucher to get our tickets before noon. My husband overheard a couple mention the ticket office was downstairs so luckily we found it and got our tickets in time for the ferry. We had a delicious brunch on the ferry… Scrambled eggs, with sausage and potato rounds. The serving size was plenty for the 2 of us. We also tried the poison cru salad. It was very good. The ferry was clean and an enjoyable ride.

Yes, it was a completely normal holiday crossing, it wasn't bumpy. It was just completely normal. It didn't take long. I think it was only 20 minutes, definitely worth doing for the price, great.

Easy peasy ferry trip

I got so stressed trying to book tickets for the ferry from Papeete to Moorea direct with the ferry online - half in French and couldn’t understand the conditions etc. It was a bit more expensive through Viator but I thought it was worth paying a bit more, knowing we were definitely booked and paid for through a trusted company where you can choose which currency to pay & understand the conditions. It was easy peasy swapping the Viator voucher for a ticket once in Papeete as well. Thanks Viator!
