About

Useful local info for Tahiti and Moorea, all in one place

Why this site

In Moorea and Tahiti, practical information is scattered: one website per ferry company, rosters published as images, outage notices on Facebook… Mata Fenua gathers it all on one simple, fast page that is easy to read on a phone, even with a weak connection.

Mata Fenua is an independent website, made in Moorea. It is not linked to any company, government body or business mentioned. It is free, with no account and no advertising.

The English version uses the same data as the French one. Notices written in French by the official sources are translated when possible; otherwise they are shown in French.
