Hakahau Post Office and Mairie

9° 21.7′ S · 140° 2.9′ W

The town hall and post office cluster in central Hakahau, beside the bank and Air Tahiti. Buy Vini SIM cards and top-ups and get help with island logistics here. The Aranui's dance shows are held next door.

Practical

Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap mairie building. Directions (Sugar Shack, 2019): main street, 2nd left, first right, on your left. Vini SIM cards need ID at the post office and sometimes sell out, so buy when you see them. Pierre ('Peter') at the mairie was recommended in 2019 as an English-speaking island guide; about USD 100 plus petrol for a day trip (2019, verify locally). Air Tahiti office (OpenStreetMap, beside the bank): Tuesday and Friday 3-5pm (2019).
