Boat
To reach The Brando, you will first need to arrange for a boat transfer from the nearby island of Tahiti or from the private landing area on Tetiaroa. If coming from Tahiti, you can take a ferry from Papeete to the nearby island of Moorea, and from there, book a private yacht or charter service directly to The Brando. If you are on Tetiaroa, contact The Brando's concierge for a scheduled boat transfer. The boat ride typically takes about 15-20 minutes, and you'll arrive directly at the resort's dock.

For a more scenic route, you can book a helicopter transfer from Tahiti to The Brando in Tetiaroa. Helicopter services are available at the Tahiti Faa'a International Airport. When you arrive at the airport, look for local helicopter service providers that offer flights to Tetiaroa. The flight will give you stunning aerial views of the islands and takes approximately 10 minutes, landing you directly at The Brando's helipad.
