The Water Gardens of Vaipahi
As you wander the garden paths, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a massive explosion of color. Your guide will point out vibrant red ginger, exotic hibiscus, and rare tropical flowers that make this botanical sanctuary feel like a living masterpiece. You'll walk alongside peaceful streams and lily ponds while hearing the cool legends of the ancient Maohi people who once considered this entire area a sacred spiritual site. The real showstopper is the Vaipahi waterfall. You can stand right at the base of the falls as fresh mountain water crashes down a mossy cliff into a crystal-clear pool. The refreshing mist feels amazing in the tropical heat and makes for an incredible Tahiti photo op. It’s a short, easy, and totally refreshing way to experience the authentic soul of the island’s nature.

I don’t think there are enough words to say how fabulous this tour was. It had everything. First, our guide & driver Gana was a 10! I’ve done dozens of tours & he was by far the best!!! He gave us tons of incredible information from industry to history he was so articulate & well informed. We made stops which we not only breathtaking but historical. If you’re thinking about a tour…you’ll get your monies worth & beyond. This is a 10+ A+! Excellent…book now! The finale & waterfall was just…Tahiti Nui! Nui nui nui!

Hits all the highlights of Tahiti, Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti. Small group tours are the way to go! You can ask questions freely and the guides will take you to your places of interest. Our guide took us to a vanilla farm as requested. It was fascinating and we were able to purchase some Tahitian vanilla, considered to be the best in the world. Our tour guide Gana was knowledgeable and we could not be happier with our day in Tahiti! (Ask for Gana.)

I was amazed at how much ground we covered. I know we did more than if I had selected a bus tour because we could move so much faster. This was a fantastic overview of the island. I especially enjoyed seeing where the Olympics surfing took place. Gana was a terrific guide who told us everything you would ever want to know about Tahiti. The place we stopped for lunch was amazing. I loved everything about this excursion!

This is a full day tour on the western side of Tahiti. There are no strenuous hikes but be prepared with the proper footwear to walk on sand, grass and rocks. More importantly be prepared to learn alot about Tahiti, its history, people, flora and fauna. Our guide Dominick was a wealth of knowledge and intertwined his own life experience growing up on the Island with the various historical, cultural and scenic stops we made during our tour. Highly recommend experience!
