Papenoo Valley & Waterfall by 4WD
Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your tour begins as you meet your guide and 4WD vehicle at the pier. Now your adventure begins. You'll travel to the scenic east coast of Tahiti and the famous Papenoo Valley.
Enjoy a short coastal drive and a turn inland at the mouth of Papenoo River to begin your ascent up the largest valley on the island. The view of the surrounding mountainsides carved by centuries of erosion and covered with rich, thick, multi-green rainforest will awe you. The adventurous drive crosses rivers and includes photo stops at the numerous waterfalls. You will also stop at an archaeological site to view sacred worship temples of yesteryear before the arrival of western missionaries.
You're welcome to take a swim in one of the natural pools of the river (if water levels permit) before stopping at a panoramic viewpoint for photos.
You'll retrace your path down the valley and pause at a famous surfing and black-sand beach of Papenoo before returning to the pier.
