Mataiva to Tikehau

Seeing as how sparse the flight schedules are, we can't just plop down on the beach for a week in Mataiva waiting for Air Tahiti to run the next service to anywhere off the island. Is there an option of a boat to Tikehau? Will it be a tad pricey? Yes, it's Tahiti et ses îles, of course it will. But just wondering how easy it was to get an inter-island boat ride and how much it'll be. Just 2 people, so we can be in one of those smaller ones.

That's a long shot, when in Rangiroa (Tuamotus hub) I saw only a cargo and was told it came once a week. A small atoll like Mataiva might be even less served. Good luck though, I had a nice time in Tikehau.
