    As promised, all is well. But, Moorea to Tahiti was entitled ‘Tahiti-Moorea Ferry’. A little confusing …

    nice comfortable ferry, quick smooth ride. Onboard food expensive, bring your own!!! We did wait 2 hours from scheduled time going to Moorea, guess January 1 is not a good time to go!!

  • Inaccurate departure time

    Carolyn K,Jan 2, 2026

    - Review from Viator

    2.00

    Viator stated departure time at 1200. We arrived at 1100. The office was closed, no employees anywhere. There was a paper on the window indicating departure at 1215. Operators website said departure was 130. At approximately 115, employees opened the window, we got our tickets and loaded onto the boat. This seems like an operator and ticket agent miscommunication which caused long delay for patrons

  • Nice experience
