Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Explore the island on a half-day West Coast tour that combines all aspects of Polynesia in one compact tour. Drive south along the delightful coast road surrounded by turquoise-colored lagoon waters and dramatic volcanic scenery covered in luscious vegetation, waterfalls, and geographical wonders.

On the roadside, enjoy the sights of local fishermen selling their daily catch or tradesmen selling their fruits and local produce. Visit the ancient religious site, the Marae of Arahurahu, set against a picturesque backdrop, and gain insight into ancient Polynesian culture, lifestyle, and values.

Marvel at the stunning fern Caves of Maraa, a local wonder, where the artist Paul Gauguin swam in the cool fresh waters with the local population. Get up close to the vegetation at the botanical garden of Vaipahi with its picturesque waterfall.

On a spectacular black volcanic sandy beach, enjoy watching the surfers as they ride the waves on the shoreline, while you have an opportunity to wander along the beach and take photographs of the spectacular scenery.

Stop at one of the prettiest churches on the island and visit the local town hall built in traditional colonial style. If the river eels are game, feeding them over the bridge in Paea is fun.

At the coconut oil factory and cosmetic laboratory, learn about the production and use of the world-famous Monoi oil used by Polynesians throughout their lives. Finally, visit the spring at Vaima, a crystal-clear natural water source bubbling from the mountain.
