pilo22:22 UTC26 Jun 2011	I am planning a short trip to the French Polynesia (i have heard is REALLY expensive, but i hope to cut some expenses on camping instead of hotels/pensions and doing snacks instead of real meals)... Anyway I have been trying to found the posibility to take a ferry from Papeete to Fakarava instead of flying, but searching on google and forums i haven't lucky... Does anyone know if you can get to Fakarava (from Papeete) by ferry? Edited by: pilo
