West Coast Full Day Tour to Teahupoo
Explore the island on a tour that incorporates Polynesian history and lifestyle, nature and tradition, as you discover the stunning scenery that our spectacular island has to offer. The drive south takes you along the delightful coast road surrounded by crystal clear lagoon waters and dramatic volcanic scenery covered in luscious vegetation, waterfalls, and geographical wonders. On the road side enjoy the sights of local fishermen selling their daily catch or tradesman selling their fruits and local produce.
The ancient religious site, Marae of Arahuruhu, set against a picturesque backdrop provides a real insight into ancient Polynesian culture, lifestyle and values. Be amazed by the stunning fern Caves of Maraa, where Paul Gauguin swam in the cool fresh waters with the local population. After a stop at the black sandy beach to watch the surfers, the wonderful botanical garden of Vaipahi lets you see the breathtaking vegetation up close and wonder at its size and beauty. The natural cold spring at Vaima is a a popular bathing spot at weekends and holidays. Sitting next to fields of Taro, the spot illustrates the Polyneisians fun nature, agricultural skills and their attachment to their land.
Lunch, looking out to sea at a hidden local restaurant on the beach on Tahiti Iti (small Tahiti). On weekdays, a stop at the Monoi coconut oil factory provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about how this local product is made and used by Polynesians throughout their lives

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, on Tahiti in Papeete and its suburbs yes – we pay alot for our water on Tahiti
(if you cannot drink it, I am not sure what we are paying for!) On Bora Bora you can drink the tap water in the Key Resorts (there is a huge desalinisation plant there). In the rural communities of Tahiti, Moorea and the other islands best drink bottled water.
The Resort Hotels will generally tell you not to drink the tap water but on Tahiti they are perhaps being over cautious – the best resort hotels will offer you a bottle of water in your hotel on arrival
Around 8am or a little later
The bigger supermarkets will stay open until around 7pm

Verified Great personalized tour Wonderful way to start a trip to Tahiti!Tracey was our guide and provided a very enjoyable, flexible, and personalized tour focusing on the East side of Tahiti. We visited a variety of locations and Tracey provided us with local information, cultural history, and gave excellent recommendations for the rest of our time on Tahiti. Tracey and Unique Tahiti were personally recommended to us and we would gladly recommend them to others. Make a point of signing up early in your trip so you can enjoy all the places and activities she recommends. Waterborn2025-08-01Verified Enjoyable Experience in Tahiti Our tour guide Mihi was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed learning a lot about the history of the islands and stopping along the west coast. The best was seeing Teahupoo up close in the channel! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Justin B2025-07-22Verified I had the best time in Tahiti thanks to this fantastic tour and its great tour guide..Tracy is simply magnificent, thanks again for your great availability and generosityNana ❤️🤗 Fabio B2025-07-21Verified Truly Excellent This was a driving tour from Papeete down the west and south coasts and over to Tahiti-iti. We had originally signed up for an afternoon slot, but were contacted the night before asking if we wished to join the all day tour at no additional cost. Yes please! Turned out to be a total of 10 hours. We certainly got our money's worth. The operator's signature red Mercedes was very comfortable for the total of 5 guests. Our guide Nihi (sp?) was outstanding. My highest recommendation! Michael C2025-06-19Verified Thank you Unique Tahiti We spend a wonderful Father’s Day enjoying a full day tour with Dominic.He was knowledgeable, full of local stories and customs, and made us feel like we belonged exactly where we were.The highlight of our day was a boat ride out to the Olympic Surfing site to enjoy surfing from a vantage point you would achieve on our own.THANK YOU Dominic and Tracy for a wonderful experience. Mobile296825806572025-06-17Verified Great way to see Tahiti So many people pass through Tahiti on their way to another island, but I could not imagine coming all that way without seeing it. This tour was the perfect introduction to French Polynesia. Our tour guide, Roni, was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to the “must sees” but also to some out of the way local sites. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company. KakiBW2025-06-16Verified An exceptional day with Unique Tahiti Tours We had a wonderful day touring Tahiti with Dominic. He was an outstanding tour guide, native to the island who brought with him a lot of knowledge, a great sense of humor and insights into Tahiti now, and as it was while he was, growing up. He told us stories about the different places that we visited. We saw waterfalls, botanical water parks, historical, and cultural sites. One of the highlights towards the end of the day was visiting Teahupo’o, the site of the 2024 Olympic surfing competition. We took a boat right out to the pipeline where the surfers showed off their skills. It was great to watch. Having grown up in Tahiti Dominic seem to know everyone and got exceptional service at the restaurant that we went to lunch at. Thank you Dominic for a truly memorable day. Kenneth F2025-06-16Verified FANTASTIC Dominic! Dominic was our driver. I’ll start off by saying he was awesome. He was very passionate about teaching us about the history and culture of Tahiti. We enjoyed his personality and sense of humor. He went into details about the mini aspect of each location we visited. The tour was all day long along the west coast of the island of Tahiti, and was one of the best we have ever experienced. As a bonus we had a renowned photographer with us named Danny on our tour. I would highly recommend this FANTASTIC tour. Therese K2025-06-13Verified Wonderful Experience Of Tahiti We were picked up on time at the port of Papeete by Dom. We did the East Coast Island Tour. There was 6 of us all together, so it was very personal. The van was extremely clean, in excellent condition and comfortable. Dom was very knowledgeable with good humour, he took us to some beautiful sights, so you got a real feel for Tahiti. One of the highlights was visiting the former leper colony, where you can interact with the local people who are very welcoming. We saw the huge river eels, what a wonderful experience. What a great opportunity to savour the culture, history and beauty of the island. I would highly recommend booking with Unique Tahiti. marija102025-05-29
