Most international travelers fly to Tahiti's Faa'a International Airport in Papeete, then take a domestic flight to Raiatea Airport. Raiatea is the air gateway for both islands. Taha'a has no airport, so the last leg is a lagoon boat transfer from Raiatea, usually arranged by your accommodation, a public shuttle, or a private taxi boat. Build extra buffer before outbound flights because Taha'a to Raiatea logistics depend on boat timing, weather, and pickup location.
On Raiatea, rental cars, taxis, scooters, bikes, hotel shuttles, and dive-center transfers are the most useful options. Uturoa is the service hub, while Apooiti and other marinas matter for boats.
