Travelling from Rangiroa to Fakarava

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia

Hello!
I'd like to go from Rangiroa to Fakarava, but the flighst schedule doesn't fit my plans, does any one know if there are any ferrys, cargos or whaterver that travel that route?
Thanks,

No ferries. There are a couple of cargo boats that stop in Rangiroa and then later on in their journey stop in Fakarava. However, I doubt that they will fit your plans (they take a roundabout route and no specific day to day schedule is published). You can find information here.

Thanks, for the info, we'd better rearrange our whole trip. So many places to visit in such a short time...

Be aware that they can change quite suddenly, the Dory f.ex. stopped taking passengers in september, just 14 days before I arrived.

Yes, the working boats are not something to entrust a schedule to.
