Air Tahiti serves Mangareva (GMR) from Tahiti; confirm flight days, connections and seats for the exact trip rather than treating displayed promotional fares as fixed. GMR is on Totegegie motu, separate from Rikitea. Air Tahiti documents a council shuttle boat to Mangareva, approximately 45 minutes, with the fare payable while boarding. Contact the guesthouse about pickup and the matching boat before departure. For the return shuttle Air Tahiti advises being at Rikitea harbour at least 2 hours before takeoff. No regular visitor dive-liveaboard or public motu-ferry timetable has been verified.
Mangareva is organized around Rikitea and scattered pensions, not a regular inter-island tourist ferry network. A host can advise on walking, bicycles, possibly rented vehicles and paid day boats; Pension Kirimiro Beach lists vehicles, quads and bicycles available for hire subject to direct confirmation, while Chez Jojo lists guest bicycles and kayaks.
