Getting to Tahiti

Getting around on Tahiti

It is possible to rent various types of vehicle, either at the airport or in the town center of Papeete.

There are bus services to all of the towns on the island, with frequent stops along the coast road. Services run from 5h00 until 17h00 and the tarif depends on the distance. The destinations are shown on the front of the bus, but it’s best to check with the driver to be sure.

Most of the island’s economic activity takes place between Punaauia and Mahina, so it is best to avoid driving in this area during the peak hours of 6h00-8h00 and 16h00-18h00 from Monday to Friday.
