Apart from some small charter operators, domestic flights are handled by Air Tahiti and Air Moorea. Inter-island boats run regular routes between all of the island groups and can be a great way to travel within the region. Huge catamarans ply between Tahiti and Moorea and the very modern Ono-Ono services the rest of the Society group. Luxury cruises are available on vessels like the Wind Song , the Arunai and the Club Med 2 . Tahiti and the developed islands operate a local bus service known as le truck which is cheap and reliable.
Taxis are available for hire, but they are horribly expensive.
Rental cars, scooters and bicycles are good ways to explore, and 4WDs can be hired if you want to head inland on some of the tracks. In the Marquesas many locals and tourists choose to get around on horseback. We encourage you to verify any critical information with the relevant authorities before you travel. This includes information on visa requirements, health and safety, customs, and transportation.
