Uturoa Gendarmerie (port of entry)

Raiatea's port of entry: the Gendarmerie in Uturoa handles entry and exit formalities for yachts in the Leeward Islands.

Practical

Complete the online declaration before you visit. The Gendarmerie checks it and forwards it to Papeete for approval. A September 2025 Noonsite report says the officers warn approval can take 1 to 3 days, so short-stay boats should start clear-out on arrival. It is on Chemin du Tapioi, behind the hospital, a short walk from the downtown quay and Marina Uturoa. Bring passports, ship's papers and your online reference.
