Raiatea, the sacred island of 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 treasures that only a local guide can show you.
On this 3½-hour private tour in a comfortable vehicle, you will explore the island's five must-see sites:
Pearl farm — Discover the secrets of the cultivation of Tahitian pearls, among the most precious in the world, on the edge of the lagoon.
Faaroa Botanical Garden — Immerse yourself in lush tropical vegetation in the heart of the only navigable river in Polynesia.
Gabbro Trail — 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 inland mountains.
Marae Taputapuatea — A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former spiritual and political center of all Polynesia. A place that is filled with history and emotion.
The tour is 100% private: you will be alone with your guide, at your own pace, with the freedom to ask any questions you may have. Ideal for families, couples and curious travelers who want to go beyond the surface.
