What you can expect

  • Raiatea, a sacred island in French Polynesia, is much more than just a stopover in the Leeward Islands. It is the cradle of Polynesian culture, a land of legends, unspoiled nature, and hidden gems that only a local live guide can show you.
    On this 3.5-hour private tour in a comfortable vehicle, you will explore the five must-see sites of the island:
    Pearl Farm — Discover the secrets of growing Tahitian pearls, some of the most precious in the world, on the shores of the lagoon.
    Faaroa Botanical Garden — Immerse yourself in lush tropical vegetation in the heart of Polynesia's only navigable river.
    Sentier des Gabbros — A unique nature stop on spectacular volcanic rock formations, far from the tourist trails.
    ️ Faaroa Viewpoint — A breathtaking panorama of the river, the valley, and the mountains of the interior.
    ️ Marae Taputapuatea — A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the former spiritual and political centre of all of Polynesia. A place that is filled with history and emotion.
    The tour is 100% private: you are alone with your live guide, at your own pace, with the freedom to ask any questions you may have. Ideal for families, couples, and curious travellers who want to go beyond the obvious.
    Departure from Uturoa. Maximum 4 people. French-speaking and English-speaking live guide.
