The wifi network, Iaoranet, made by cruisers for cruisers, is growing in French Polynesia! You can now wirelessly access the internet from 13 Wifi Zones with the same account. These Wifi Zones are in Nuku Hiva (Marquesas), Tahiti (4 zones), Moorea (2 zones), Raiatea (2 zones), Tahaa, Huahine, and Bora Bora (2 zones). There are wifi hotspots in the 3 main marinas of Tahiti: one in Marina Taina, one in the Tahiti Yacht Club, and one in Port Phaeton. On these sites, you can connect to internet directly from your yacht, like in a cyber café!

On each site, the wifi signal covers the marina, and the whole anchorage area. If some boats can't connect with their wifi equipped computer, it's probably that it's not powerful enough, and they should get in touch with the office of the marina to buy/rent more powerful equipment.

So, enjoy internet from your yacht, and see you soon in paradise !
