# Are there flight conections between Papeete (Tahiti) and Apia(Samoa) Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
micasatucasa 00:24 UTC 14 Dec 2008 | Hi there! I live in S-America and have the chance to catch a sail boat to Tahiti from Ecuador. Now I'd like to know what's the best way to go from Tahiti to Samoa or the Fidji? Is there a way without going to NZ or Australia? I have to know it till the end of february, because then the boat sails. Thanks |

You must fly via NZ, AU or, if you prefer to go via a more exotic South Pacific route, New Caledonia (connected to Fiji, not Samoa). And better decide this swiftly, as you will probably need an onward ticket just to enter Tahiti. | 2
