How to book your flight to Mangareva, Gambier Islands.

You will have to book a flight from Tahiti (PPT) to Mangareva (GMR) only on the Tuesday Flights. Some times of the year Air Tahiti put on other flights. If you choose to fly on a day other than the Tuesday flight, you will have to arrange your own accommodation whilst on Mangareva.

The Claymore II always sails to and from Pitcairn to meet up with the Tuesday flights.

The Mangareva Airport Taxi Ferry

Upon arrival at the airport in the Gambier Islands, you will have to board the airport Taxi Ferry that will take you to the village of Rikitea on the main Island. The Taxi costs approx. CPF500 per person.  French Pacific Francs are the local and preferred currency. Once you arrive at the main wharf in Rikitea, you will be met by a Crew Member of the Claymore II who will assist your transfer to the ship.

Arrival at Pitcairn

The Claymore II will arrive at Pitcairn on Thursday morning. After breakfast, the Longboat will take you ashore.

Landing on Pitcairn

Once you have stepped ashore at Pitcairn, your accommodation hosts will greet you and take you to where you are staying.
