Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Follow the west coast of Tahiti though the district of Punaauia. Stop at the ancient "Marae Arahurahu" - considered to be one of the most significant archeological sacred stone temples of the island and continue through the districts of Paea & Papara to the district of Mataiea - the home village of Paul Gauguin from 1891 to 1893. Visit a private colonial home originally built early 1920s by a known English writer, Robert Keibel followed by a photo stops at Vaipahi Gardens with its picturesque waterfall and the Fern Mara'a Grotto Caves to view the fresh water spring pool. 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.

Special Notes:

The Museum of Tahiti is currently closed for renovations and it has been replaced with a guided visit at the Tahitian Secrets, a local workshop dedicated to traditional methods of producing natural oils and perfumes from local plants & flowers. You will learn the various processes from collection of flowers to the fermentation process and reduction.

Tour oder may vary.

As a disembarking tour, transfer to the airport is an additional cost and will have to be purchased separately.
