Ferry websites confusing

We found all the different options and operators abit confusing, and having to book each leg separately was also complicated, so we went to the terminal and bought the return ticket at the office. One you know how it works it's OK, but trying to do it online was difficult to understand. The carpark entrance is very entered from the terminal side, the roadside one is ready to miss, it's just past the exit. Once on Moorea, don't b be fooled there's no cafes or restaurants at the terminal Just vendors selling food from a table outside selling Fruit, shrimp chips, banana bread and banana or coconut dumplings. No sandwiches or plat du jour (rice with chicken or meat) no coffee, tea, fruit drinks. Very little seating.its just a shelter not a refreshment area.

This mode of transport is the best way to get to several of the islands and allows cars to be transported also. There is a fabulous restaraunt on the ferry. It only took 45 minutes to get to Moorea from Papeete. The trip was reasonably priced.

Fast shuttle

If you leave your bulky luggage on the carts, put your name on it. When I arrived at the port, the cart had remained in Papeete. He took the next shuttle so the oversight was quickly corrected. But identifying the bag would have been easier if I had put a tag on it. 1-hour crossing. You must arrive 30 minutes before. There is a good restaurant in the station.

Smooth trip to Mo'orea

Easy ferry transfer to Mo'orea. The ship was large which made for a relaxing, smooth trip. The staff were accommodating and joyful as well. Much preferred this transfer to the smaller catamaran ferry.

Ferry to Moorea

For someone who didn’t understand the language I followed the crowd. The tickets are purchased on ground floor at the back of the building then walk up to second floor to go on the ferry.

The process was very...

The process was very easy, the taxi driver left us right off in front at the ticket counter, unloaded our bags and put them on a ship cart. The desk redeemed our ticket and even printed out our tickets on our return for a few days later. The ride was wonderful, the food on the ferry was great too.i would definitely use this service again.
