  • Boat use is shared with other researchers and depends on the availability of a Tetiaroa Society driver. If you need dedicated or extended boat time, or want to drive it yourself, arrange it well before your visit.
  • If you require specific chemicals during your stay, you can have them delivered to us. MediLab and Aroe Tahiti are local importers of laboratory supplies. However, be aware that the shipping times can be quite long, so this requires advance preparation. You can also buy some materials in Tahiti, such as liquid nitrogen from Gazpac Tahiti and hardware from retailers such as HyperBrico, ACE Sin Tung Hing, or Mr Bricolage.
  • Domestic flights to the atoll are available at additional cost, subject to availability.
