Highlights
Discover the wonders of Tahiti on a complete circle island tour. Start on the west coast with a visit to the Museum of Tahiti & Her Islands, the country's first institution to showcase the treasures of Polynesia's natural and cultural heritage. Next, head for the archeological site of the Arahurahu marae, an ancestral Mao'hi cultural center restored in 1953, before stopping off at the Vaipahi water garden for a refreshing stroll among pools, waterfalls, flowers and tropical plants. After crossing the isthmus of the Tahiti Iti peninsula, the landscape of the east coast becomes wilder - it's still a bit of the Tahiti of yesteryear. A few kilometers further on, make a playful stop at Trou du Souffleur, a marine geyser known in ancient times as Anahoho "the howling cave", before heading into the forest to the 3 Te Fa'aurumai waterfalls natural site. End your tour of the island with a visit to Pointe Vénus, where the Endeavour docked in 1769.
