Getting to Moorea: Your Smooth Ride from Cruise Port to Paradise
Traveling between the Moorea Cruise Port and your hotel can often be a logistical headache—long taxi lines, crowded shuttles, or confusing shared rides. Fortunately, opting for a Private Transfer transforms this initial leg into a comfortable, hassle-free experience. This service, offered by taxiGo DMC, promises quick, reliable transportation with a personal touch.
What we especially like about this transfer: it’s door-to-door, ensuring you don’t have to worry about navigating unfamiliar streets or lugging luggage across multiple stops; the professional English-speaking drivers who are attentive and dressed neatly; and the flexibility to accommodate larger groups—up to 15 passengers—with options for minivans or minibuses. One consideration to keep in mind is that while the price is quite reasonable at just under $44 per person, the real value lies in the convenience and comfort it provides, especially after a long journey.
This experience is perfect for travelers arriving by cruise and wanting a stress-free transfer, families needing child seats, or groups seeking an efficient way to start their Moorea adventure. If you value comfort, punctuality, and simplicity, this private transfer is well worth considering for your Polynesian getaway.

Many travelers appreciate the cleanliness and professionalism of the fleet. Vehicles are maintained to high standards, inside and out, which contributes significantly to the overall experience. The option to request child seats adds an extra layer of comfort for families traveling with young kids. Plus, if your group exceeds 7 people, the service can provide a minibus or two vans, so everyone stays together without splitting up into multiple taxis.
