You should plan on spending at least 7 days on Sophie, not including travel time or any quarantine restrictions that may be in effect. (Click on the Travel Restrictions link below for details on travel to French Polynesia.)
First, you will need to get to Papeete, Tahiti. From there, you will join us at an island or atoll that Sophie can access (we need to anchor and dinghy over to come and get you!). The local airline, Air Tahiti, flies between many of the various islands and atolls. However, not all islands or atolls have flights daily, some not even weekly, so it will be a bit of a puzzle that you will need to solve to get to us.
I promise it will be worth it....
Given the state of the world, its a good idea to check up on the travel restrictions for visitors coming to French Polynesia. Just click the link below. If the link doesn't work, search for travel restrictions for French Polynesia and I'm sure you'll find the right info..
First, you have to get a general sense of where we are in the world. This is easy... Click on the link below and it will give you our most current location. This should get the process rolling.
Good question. We need an island with an airport that also is accessible by sailboat. That means somewhere we can safely anchor and dinghy over to come and pick you up.
The map below shows you which islands and atolls have airports that are accessible to us. So, combine where we are, where is the nearest island or atoll with an accessible airport and voila, you’re in paradise!
The final piece to the puzzle. You might want to meet me "here" but the flights don't work with your schedule. What to do? Search for flights from Papeete, Tahiti to the appropriate island where we can meet. Details on available inter-island flights within French Polynesia can be found by clicking on the AirTahiti link below.
