# Freighter Travel from Tahiti to Outer Islands Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
mferrer 21:41 UTC 22 Apr 2010 | I am interested in travelling by freighter from Tahiti to outer islands (any). We are a family of four (2 adults, 10yo and 12yo) and I would be interested in hearing other experiences doing this and what the best way is to plan/book such travel. I found a listing for two different freighters that look like a good bet, Cobia and Rairoa Nui. If anyone has any experience with these two frieghters (or any others) I would love to hear about it!! Thanks, Molly |
