yinniegirl 20:16 UTC 26 Aug 2008 | Traveling to Polynesia in October. Wanting to find cheapest airfares Tahiti - Rangiroa - Huahine - Moorea. Also interested in finding opportunities for taking the cargo ships (night travel) from Tahiti - Huahine and back. Any one have current info on air travel and cargo travel that could be of use (emails, schedules, fares)? |

They also offer discounts with their passes that allow travel to several different islands - that might work out cheaper for you. I don't have any info on boats but could suggest you check out the forum at www.tahiti-explorer.com - there are some locals there who may have the latest on cargo ships. | 1
