Circle Island Tour

Places we visit

Marae Arahurahu

Paea · West coast

Marae Arahurahu

One of the best preserved sacred sites of Tahiti. In ancient Polynesia, the marae was the open-air temple where chiefs and priests held ceremonies, offerings and important gatherings. Restored in the 1950s, Arahurahu sits at the foot of a green valley, with its stone platforms and carved tiki. Your guide will tell you about the gods, the traditions and the history of the place.

Paea · West coast

Grottos of Maraa

Large caves carved into the cliff by the ocean long ago, now covered with ferns and moss. Fresh water springs from the mountain fill calm, cool pools at the entrance. A short and easy walk through a small tropical garden takes you there, right by the road.

Taharuu surf beach

Papara · West coast

Taharuu surf beach

A wide black sand beach of volcanic origin, open to the ocean and loved by local surfers. A great place to watch the waves, take photos and feel the wild side of Tahiti.

Vaipahi Spring garden

Mataiea · South coast

Vaipahi Spring garden

A peaceful botanical garden with springs, a small waterfall, water lilies and many tropical plants and flowers. Short shaded paths make it a perfect stop to relax, and on the full day tour it is also our picnic spot.

Lookout of Taravao

Taravao plateau

Lookout of Taravao

Visited on the full day tour only

High on the plateau of Taravao, where the big island (Tahiti Nui) meets the small one (Tahiti Iti). The air is cooler, with green pastures, and the view stretches over the isthmus, the lagoon and the mountains of Tahiti Nui.

Tahiti Iti · South-west

Teahupoo

Visited on the full day tour only

The village at the end of the road, home of one of the most famous and powerful waves in the world. Teahupoo hosted the surfing events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Enjoy the quiet village life and the view of the reef where the giant wave breaks.

Waterfall of Faarumai

Tiarei · East coast

Waterfall of Faarumai

A short walk through a lush rainforest of mape trees (Tahitian chestnut) leads to the Vaimahuta waterfall, falling from a high cliff into a pool. One of the most beautiful natural sites of the island.

The Venus Point and the light house

Mahina · North coast

The Venus Point and the light house

A black sand beach full of history: here Captain Cook observed the transit of Venus in 1769, and the first European explorers and missionaries landed nearby. The white lighthouse, built in 1867, stands among the palm trees facing the lagoon.

Belvedere of Taharaa

Arue · North coast

Belvedere of Taharaa

Visited on the full day tour only

A lookout on the hill of Taharaa with a beautiful panoramic view over Matavai Bay, the lagoon and the island of Moorea on the horizon. Especially lovely at the end of the day.
