What you can expect

Discover Tahiti with career guides (20+ years) who are guides by vocation. This private experience blends spectacular scenery with clear, engaging commentary across culture, history, geology, and botany—so you don’t just see the island, you understand it. Travel in comfort in a licensed, air-conditioned minivan, set your own pace, and customize the itinerary to your interests. Expect a friendly, fun atmosphere, time for questions and photos, and thoughtful touches throughout.

Marae Arahurahu (Paea)
Begin your immersion into Polynesian culture at this majestic open-air stone temple (marae)—a sacred space for ceremony, leadership and community life. Please treat the site with respect; it is central to living cultural heritage.

Mara’a Grotto
Enter a fern-draped, spring-fed grotto with cool, clear water and softly lit rock formations—a peaceful natural retreat and refreshing photo stop.

Taharuu Black-Sand Beach (Papara)
Feel the volcanic black sand beneath your feet on one of Tahiti’s most beloved local beaches. Watch surfers ride the consistent break, enjoy shoreline views, or pause for a short walk.

Vaipahi Water Gardens
Stroll shaded, spring-fed paths past lily ponds, small cascades and vibrant tropical plants while your guide highlights notable species and their cultural uses—an easy, calming stop.

Faarumai Waterfalls
A nearly 300-foot cascade set in a lush green valley. A short, gentle path leads to cool mist, ferns and basalt cliffs—an unforgettable setting with great photo angles and local legends.

Point Venus & Matavai Bay
Historic black-sand cape with lighthouse and wide ocean views. Hear stories of early European navigators, Polynesian star routes and Tahiti’s pivotal role in Pacific history—plus time for a gentle beach walk.
