You will see Maru Maru on your left at the address Papeete 98714, French Polynesia.
Public Transport
From the Papeete Market, look for local buses (known as 'le trucks') that head towards Paofai. Board any bus that is heading in that direction. Ask the driver to let you know when you reach the stop near Maru Maru, which is in the Paofai area. Once you get off, you may have to walk about 200 meters back towards the sea; Maru Maru will be on your left.
