Tahiti (Papeete), French Polynesia

Tahiti by Off-Road Vehicle

Into the Tahitian Wild Go off-road during a guided excursion into the unspoiled wilderness of Tahiti. The island is the largest in the chain that makes up French Polynesia, an archipelago of 188 islands and atolls; you will see some of them as you gain elevation. Meet your guide and board your off-road vehicle, leaving Papeete behind for the lush green wilderness. As you travel, take in the sight of thick rain forests and deep valleys cut by streams, verdant landscapes fed by cascading waterfalls and sweeping views of the many shades of blue of the South Pacific. Leave the beaten track behind and ascend to the volcanic crater that formed Tahiti some one million years ago, creating its famous black-sand beaches. During your drive, keep your eyes open for the abundant birdlife that flitters about in the canopy above and the wild-growing hibiscus flower on the forest bed. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
