reeflover Posted April 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2016 What dock will the ship ferry to? Will there be taxis there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted April 17, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The ship usually anchors at oponohu bay and tenders yo that Dock. However, occasionally if a larger ship is in town it anchors at Cooks Bay and tenders to that dock. There are always taxis etc hanging out in either areas. My only word of caution is to make arrangements for your pick up and drive to the dock with your taxi driver in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeflover Posted April 21, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted April 21, 2016 What would be a good rate for a taxi from the dock to and from the Lagoonarium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin123185 Posted April 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) I usually rent a car here. 15 years ago was my first experience here with a taxi. I just remember ending up paying 1/2 the original quote. A few years ago I didn't rent but wanted to go to the juice factory which is a 10-15 minute drive and all the drivers wanted $100. That's the cost of a rental car there for the day. I just walked away not even trying to negotiate I was so pissed off. They think anyone getting off the PG, or any ship for that matter is rich. Got my juice in Papeete anyway! Edited April 22, 2016 by twin123185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted April 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2016 We have paid $20-$25 each way from the dock to the Hilton. The lagoonararium is at least twice as far. Not that they would double the fare but $40-$50 each way might happen, hence the potential logic in renting a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted April 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think we paid $40 each way to the Sofitel last year. Maybe we will rent a car next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
