Almost all visitors arrive to Taniti by air, though
some arrive on a small cruise ship that docks in Yellow Leaf Bay for
one night per week. Taniti is served by a small airport that can
accommodate small jets and propeller planes. Taniti is in the process
of expanding the airport so larger jets will be able to land on the
island within the next few years.
Ground Transportation: Public buses serve Taniti City
and run from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Private buses serve the rest
of the island. Taxis are available in Taniti City, and rental cars can
be rented from a local rental agency near the airport. Bikes and helmets
are available to rent from several vendors (helmets are required by law).
Taniti City is fairly flat and very walkable.
