Bus
Take the local bus (called 'Le Truck') heading towards Papeari. You can catch a bus from major stops in Papeete; make your way to the main bus terminal. Board the bus that indicates 'Papeari' as its destination. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Once you reach Papeari, disembark at the last stop. From the bus stop, you will need to walk. Head southwest on Route 1 towards Teva I Uta, and then follow the signs towards Tahiti Heritage, which is about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop.
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle in Papeete. Once you have your bike, head west on Route 1 towards Papeari. It's about a 30-40 minute ride. Be cautious as the road can be busy. Upon reaching Papeari, continue towards Teva I Uta, where Tahiti Heritage is located. Look for local signage that will guide you to the entrance.
Walking
