Stadsadvies
Nuttige zinnen
"Ia ora na" and "Mauru'uru"
"Hello" and "Thank you" are always welcomed and encouraged.
Vervoersmogelijkheden
We highly recommend renting a car.
Distances are pretty long and public transportation is not reliable at all.
Wat je mee moet nemen
Sun Screen (reef proof preferred)
Sun screen is a must bring. We recommend a brand that does not harm the reef or corals. Available at any local pharmacy.
