Getting There
-
Taxi
From the Vaiare ferry terminal or the airport, a taxi is a convenient option to reach the Tropical Garden. Taxis are readily available at both locations. Expect to pay around 651 XPF for a 5km ride. Ensure the driver knows the fare beforehand. The ride may involve a short but steep uphill road.
-
Public Transport
While a bus service exists on Moorea, it is not particularly efficient. It travels around the coast road, and may require a 15-minute walk from the coastal road to the Tropical Garden. Consider this option if you're on a tight budget and have ample time.
-
Rental Car/Scooter
Renting a car or scooter offers flexibility in exploring Moorea, including a visit to the Tropical Garden. However, be aware that the road leading to the garden involves a short, steep uphill climb that may not be suitable for all rental cars. Rental agencies can be found at the airport and ferry terminal. Scooter rentals cost around $50 USD per day.
