TICKETS Can I buy tickets directly on Horaires Tahiti?

No. Horaires Tahiti is an information website only and does not sell tickets.

To buy your ticket, go directly to the website of the ferry company of your choice or purchase it at the port ticket office.

BOOKING Do I need to book in advance?

For passengers, booking is generally not necessary: you buy your ticket and board the next available ferry.

However, if you are traveling with a vehicle such as a car or a motorbike, it is better to book in advance to secure a space.

BEFORE DEPARTURE What time should I arrive before the ferry departs?

It is recommended to arrive a little before departure, especially during busy periods.

For a foot passenger, arriving about 15 to 20 minutes early is generally recommended.

If you are traveling with a vehicle, it is better to arrive earlier, depending on the company's instructions.

If in doubt, the safest option is to check directly with the operator concerned.

DISRUPTIONS What happens if the ferry is canceled because of weather or a strike?

In the event of difficult sea conditions, a strike, or an unexpected issue, ferry companies may cancel, postpone, or change certain departures.

It is recommended to follow the companies' official announcements for real-time updates. When this information is available, it may also be relayed on Horaires Tahiti.

LUGGAGE Can I bring luggage?

Yes. Luggage is generally included in the passenger ticket.

A staff member near boarding often collects it. On arrival, it is placed in a designated area.

If several ferries are docked at the same time, simply make sure your luggage is going onto the right boat.
