The ferry is the best way to get to Moorea from Tahiti. The ferry ride between Papeete and Vaiare takes 30 to 45 minutes. <\/span>Two companies operate multiple daily departures<\/strong><\/span>. Expect to pay about 1,500 XPF per adult (~13 \u20ac) for a one-way trip in French Polynesia. One crucial thing to keep in mind before booking your flight: there are no overnight crossings. If your flight lands after 5:00 p.m., the last ferry will have already left.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Two shipping companies share the routes between <\/span>Tahiti and Moorea<\/strong><\/span>. Same route, same travel time, modern ships. In French Polynesia, this is the fastest and most affordable way to travel between the two islands.<\/span><\/p>

In practice, it’s not the <\/span>airline<\/strong><\/span> that matters. It\u2019s the departure time. Check both websites, choose the schedules that match your arrival time in Papeete, and board the ship.<\/span><\/p>
