West Coast Full Day
Tour to Teahupoo
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

Delightful Day with Spectacular Scenery We booked this tour as a private excursion from a cruise ship.The red van was waiting for us outside of the ship's terminal. We toured with 3 other couples so it was a nice, small group.Our tour guide Dominic, is a wealth of information and has some wonderful stories about his life in Tahiti. Unfortunately, we visited on a Sunday, which was also their election day and the traffic was horrible in each direction. The delays, due to no fault of the tour provider, tainted the day. We arrived back to the ship about 2 hours past the time we had scheduled. Luckily, the ship was in port until midnight so we weren't concerned about missing the ship, just exhausted from the long day.All of the sites we were taken to were lovely, beautiful scenery along the way.We stopped at a restaurant a bit later than scheduled (again, due to traffic delays) and they were out of everything but the tuna and steak. We opted for the steak and it was fine. The restaurant is very cute, right on the beach. I wouldn't hesitate booking an excursion with Unique Tahiti again, just not on election day.BroncoFaninVA2023-05-18Great way to see Tahiti A great way to see Tahiti by road. Unfortunately on our day it was local elections so we did get stuck in a traffic jam early on in the day. This aside our guide Tracey was fun and knowledgeable and we visited some lovely locations. We stopped for lunch at a traditional Tahitian restaurant which was great too.A trip that I would firmly recommend.Finally I have to say a massive thank you to Tracey for the impromptu and unusual toilet stop on the way back to the ship! You saved my life lol.Nick B2023-05-15Unique and the BEST! Wow! What a great day in Tahiti! Dominique is an amazing tour guide..so knowledgeable and fun! We had a day to kill while waiting for our flight back home so we booked this tour. Such a good idea! Also, the red Mercedes van was super comfortable. Definitely Recommend!!!!!AlwaysLookUp2023-05-08Tahiti half day tour around island Great half day tour lots of historic sites and tour guide knew a lot of history about the islands Visited other side of island away from papeet and went to a beautiful waterful and small village where I bought a hand carved tiki statue and had the artist carve her name in it for meSaw huge fresh water eels and walking fishA blowhole and beautiful lookout spot over the islandHandmade textiles being printed It was greatSteph A2023-05-05Authentic Tahiti Tour Tracey has a great knowledge of the history and culture of the island and will take you places you would never think to go. You get to meet local people and animals and hear stories and get as much of a 'slice of life' experience as a tourist can. She also worked really hard to help us plan other activities on our trip, and she is flexible and responsive to client needs.Navigate366561180432023-05-01Tahiti Tour with Tracey was Terrific! Unique Tahiti Tour saved the day! I was looking for a port of call excursion after being disappointed with some of the cruise ship offerings the first few stops in Fiji and New Caledonia. I’m so glad I went with Tracey! She was fun and friendly from the very beginning. The conversation flowed naturally the whole time amongst our entire group and Tracey took us to all kinds of beautiful places that the main bus tours weren’t going to. I had heard it wasn’t worth staying in Tahiti, and that one’s time would be best spent going directly to Bora-Bora or Moorea, but the full day tour I took with Unique Tahiti Tours proved exactly why that’s not true! The island and the experience with Tracey were truly beautiful!Stuart L2023-04-24Beautiful tour of the real Tahiti Tracey was such an amazing tour guide and shows you a side to Tahiti you wouldn’t be able to witness yourself as a tourist She has so much insight, knowledge and wonderful things to share and made my experience at Tahiti so worthwhilePooja K2023-04-23Had a great time. Lots of good Info! We had a great time on the East Coast tour! We enjoyed Tracey's insight and perspective as she took us to various cultural and historic sites. She also took us to a couple of off-the-beaten-path locations that we would likely never known about, much less visited, and these were among the highlights of the tour. We booked the East Coast as well as West Coast tours and both times Tracey was engaging and making sure everyone was comfortable, could hear, was getting what they wanted out of the tour, etc. While we enjoyed both tours, we really liked the East Coast for the historical aspects, the waterfalls, and the tour of a local silk-screening factory!NC-HERITAGE2023-04-23Amazing Tahiti tour Wonderful tour. Tracey was great at replying to my emails. Easy pick up from ship.Our tour guide, Dominic, was amazing! He had wonderful knowledge of the whole island. Entertained us the whole 8hrs. And a visit to his amazing home to finish off the day. We really would recommend this tour group. Thank you for share your slice of heavenSerena P2023-04-20Unique! Abbiamo fatto il west coast tour di Tahiti di mezza giornata. La guida era la titolare la signora Tracy Thomas, veramente competente e coinvolgente. Ci siamo fermati più volte per vedere i posti più interessanti e affascinanti dell’isola. In pratica il tour è durato più di quattro ore. Sempre sotto la guida di Tracy ci siamo fermati più volte e abbiamo spesso conversato con i locali. Veramente “unique “!Saverio P2023-04-18
