Ha'urei Magasins (Rapa Iti)

27° 37.1′ S · 144° 20.0′ W · approximate

Ha'urei's two small shops are the only retail on the island, stocked from the Tuhaa Pae IV supply ship; arrive self-sufficient and treat them as a top-up.

Practical

Approximate position: Ha'urei village (OSM); neither shop is mapped. Pitufa (Nov 2018): 2 magasins with 'very basic supplies'; no vegetable market, but fruit from private gardens if you ask nicely, and bring presents as thanks. Shelves are fullest right after a ship call (see 'Rapa Iti Supply Ship Calls (Tuhaa Pae IV)'). Pay for fuel at the mairie, not the shops. No bank or ATM is reported in the sources: bring enough Pacific francs (XPF) cash. Provision fully in Tubuai or Raivavae before the 290 nm leg.
