You'll drive to Tahara'a "One Tree Hill" and witness a spectacular view of Matavai Bay before traveling to Venus Point, Tahiti's northernmost extremity. Your tour continues to Arahoho Blowhole, where waves crashing through the volcanic basalt rock create the famous blowhole. You'll drive past Maraa Grotto and witness the giant elephant ear ferns and taro that grace its entrance. You'll continue past the Vaipahi waterfalls and gardens, then drive by an ancient marae (temple) where traditional Tahitian rituals were held before the advent of Christianity. Finally stop at the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands, set into a coconut grove with a picturesque view of the lagoon and Moorea in the background. This ranks as one of the best museums in the South Pacific that focuses on Polynesian history, people, language and culture. After your visit, enjoy a Polynesian-style lunch buffet before your return drive back to the pier.
