Why choose this tour ?

Full day tours last 8 hours. Half day tours last 5 hours. If you are looking for an informative educational tour with in-depth explanations, then this is for you. Learn about the Polynesian way of life, its customs, geology, flora, fauna and history. I have lived in on Tahiti since 1993. I married a Polynesian in 1995. I have the impression that I was destined to become a guide, in fact my husband Coco’s family name is Faaterehia which can mean to guide and I just adore guiding visitors around this stunning island. Perhaps there is something to the Polynesians belief that the name you give your children can influence their character. Today I am one of the most experienced guides on Tahiti and id be delighted to show you some of our sites. Places visited will depend on the time available, tours can be personalized and include a maximum number of sites depending on the length of the tour chosen. I also have other tour options listed such as city tours and west or east coast tours

What makes Private Tours of Tahiti by Lydia. Full or Half Day a unique experience ?

A beautiful black sand beach popular with locals and an important historical site on Matavai bay where all the European navigators stopped on arrival on Tahiti in 1767 there is an excellent arts n crafts outlet and restrooms are available

One of the best views on the island , what Cpt Cook called One Tree Hill, the view extends across Matavai bay to includesMoorea our sister island and Papeete

Linked to the ocean swells these blowholes used to blow onto the road before the tunnel was built in 2010, now the old road is a park where if you dare, you can feel the strength of the ocean blowing through holes in the lava, restrooms are available

one of 3 waterfalls in the Faarumai valley Vaimahuta is the most easiy accesible, a permanent waterfall it flows all year round and is never dry

Once a sacred site for the Teva clan, used for spiritual purification the waters are still respected by the polynesians, we find a small waterfall and several pools containing Tilapia, Koi carp and shy freshwater eels, set in a luxuriant tropical garden, there is a small arts n crafts outlet and perhaps Moana and Celestine will be selling their excellent home made lemonades and breadfruit chips Restrooms are available

A geological curiosity the cave is an old lava tube today full of fresh water due to the numerous natural springs in the area, swimming is forbidden but the cool fresh water is so refreshing few polynesians can resist a cooling dip in the pool, water drips from the ceiling all year round but our waters are so pure that there are no stalctites or stalagmites. Cook and Gauguin both visited the cave, another oppotunity for some retail therapy is offered in the artns n craft outlet, restrooms are available

Visit one of the sacred sites used by polynesians to worship their gods, on Tahiti most of these sites were destroyed or neglected after the polynesians converted to christianity, this marae has been reconstructed but many still believe in the power of these sites and the Tikis found there; restrooms are available

On a full day tour there is time to visit the site of one of the most dangerous waves on the planet, the site of the 2024 Olympic Games surfing Competition, you can even take a taxi boat out to the wave for ab additional fee, there are cafes and restrooms

A short stop to admire the surfers at the Taharuu river mouth and the black sand beach, a popular place to learn to surf.

Te Fare Iamanaha, The House of Treasures! the museum has been on this site from 1974 and was recently renovated. Situated in beautiful gardens it has many sacred objects
