Overview
Full day tours last 8 hours. Half day tours last 5 hours. If you are looking for an informative educational tour with in-depth explanations, then this is for you.
Learn about the Polynesian way of life, its customs, geology, flora, fauna and history. I have lived in on Tahiti since 1993. I married a Polynesian in 1995. I have the impression that I was destined to become a guide, in fact my husband Coco’s family name is Faaterehia which can mean to guide and I just adore guiding visitors around this stunning island. Perhaps there is something to the Polynesians belief that the name you give your children can influence their character. Today I am one of the most experienced guides on Tahiti and id be delighted to show you some of our sites. Places visited will depend on the time available, tours can be personalized and include a maximum number of sites depending on the length of the tour chosen. I also have other tour options listed such as city tours and west or east coast tours

The Water Gardens of VaipahiOnce a sacred site for the Teva clan, used for spiritual purification the waters are still respected by the polynesians, we find a small waterfall and several pools containing Tilapia, Koi carp and shy freshwater eels, set in a luxuriant tropical garden, there is a small arts n crafts outlet and perhaps Moana and Celestine will be selling their excellent home made lemonades and breadfruit chips Restrooms are available
- A geological curiosity the cave is an old lava tube today full of fresh water due to the numerous natural springs in the area, swimming is forbidden but the cool fresh water is so refreshing few polynesians can resist a cooling dip in the pool, water drips from the ceiling all year round but our waters are so pure that there are no stalctites or stalagmites. Cook and Gauguin both visited the cave, another oppotunity for some retail therapy is offered in the artns n craft outlet, restrooms are available (pass by)
-
