There are ferries going back and forth during the day leaving from the sea front in central Papaete..Nelson Camping on Moorea is very nice for a person on a packpackers budget....you can share a small cabin room there.... There is a bus that takes you there from the ferry. | 1

It is much smaller then Tahiti although it would be a shame if you couldn't at least squeeze an extra day in. One word of advice is that Tahiti in general is really expensive so don't expect you backpacker budget to stretch as far as it would in some places. It is well worth the visit though! :) | 2
