Approximate position: the converted-container office with picnic tables on the bluff past the haul-out yard, up the hill at the Semaphore (2018-2019 reports). The 2026 brief lists entry formalities, duty-free fuel procedures, fuel orders over 3,000 litres, and laundry and provisioning delivered to the quay. Contact: Sandra, WhatsApp +689 87 23 22 47, hivaoayachtservices@gmail.com; VHF 12/16 (2020). Earlier reports add long-stay visa and carte de séjour renewals, Wi-Fi ($5/day in 2020), car rental and taxis, and shipping and receiving parcels via Air Tahiti or the supply ship. Laundry was 400 XPF/kg in 2019, collected and returned to the gas-station area. Avoid sending wet towels, since it is charged by weight. Prices are older than 2024, so verify locally. Sandra did check-ins at no charge in 2018.
