Fatu Hiva Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Fatu Hiva is the most difficult island to get to in the Marquesas. Try the Aranui and the Taporo VI. In Atuona it's possible to charter a private bonitier or to hop on the one that takes the schoolchildren home during school holidays - inquire at the mayor's office in Atuona . To charter a bonitier call Leo Rohi (92 76 57, 70 71 87) in Atuona or contact Joel Coulom(92 81 17) or Xavier Gilmore (92 81 38) in Fatu Hiva. Expect to pay at least 45, 000 CFP for the whole boat, round trip (including the boat's return even if you are not on it).
