Good to know
Several islands? Compare passes
For a trip combining Rangiroa or other islands, compare Air Tahiti’s multi-island passes with separate tickets. Included islands, rules and seats depend on your pass and dates: have the airline validate the full itinerary.
Can you arrive by boat?
A passenger boat connection from Tahiti for your dates remains to be confirmed with a shipping operator and the maritime authority, DPAM. Do not build your stay around an old cargo schedule: check passenger acceptance, arrival port, dates and conditions before choosing this option.
