This unique small group tour lasts four to five hours and travels along the east coast of Tahiti in a luxury air-conditioned Mercedes minivan. Pickup and drop-off are included from hotels, the port, or the Papeete area. The tour begins with a ten-minute stop at the colonial-style Palace in Papeete, where visitors can take photos and learn about Polynesian politics, economics, and the relationship with France. Next is an optional fifteen-minute walk through the local farmers market for a quick look and photo opportunity; this is not a shopping stop. On weekdays, the tour includes a twenty-minute visit to see local artists at work. The group then spends forty-five minutes at Pointe Venus, a black sand beach and historic landing site of early explorers. The guide provides information about Captain Cook, the transit of Venus, the HMS Bounty mutiny, missionaries, and the filming of Marlon Brando’s movie here. Afterward, the tour stops for twenty minutes at the Arahoho Blowhole, a coastal lava tube where ocean swells create natural water spouts. A short five-minute walk leads to the Faarumai Waterfalls, where visitors spend thirty minutes taking photos at the base of the falls. The tour continues with a fifteen-minute stop at the Belvedere du Tahara’a hilltop, offering ocean views toward Moorea. The final thirty-minute stop is at the Vallee De Papenoo, where freshwater eels can be seen and local artists are visited to observe daily Polynesian life. Bottled water is provided throughout the tour. The small group size ensures a personal experience with a professional English-speaking guide providing live commentary on board.
