Tahiti → Punaauia: key facts

Punaauia from Tahiti Airport (PPT) by private transfer: €45 per car (1–3 people) or €65 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 5 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of Terminal 1, after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Punaauia is the commune immediately south of Faa'a on the west coast of Tahiti, and its town hall is only about 5 km from the airport by road. The route heads south on the coastal road and the west-coast expressway, passing Marina Taina and the large shopping area at Outumaoro. The drive avoids Papeete, so it is less affected by the city rush hour, although the expressway itself can be busy in the morning.

Punaauia stretches for several kilometres along the lagoon, with homes climbing the hills above. Several of the island's large resort hotels are on this coast, together with Marina Taina and the public beach at PK 18, known for snorkelling and for sunsets behind the jagged outline of Moorea across the channel. The Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands sits on the shore at Punaauia, and the Punaruu valley opens inland from the south end of the commune.

Public transport: The airport operator states only that the nearest bus stops are on the main road outside the airport, in both directions, served by the Tere Tahiti network; it publishes no line, so no public transport option is given here.
