Crossing Island of Tahiti 4x4 Mountain, Waterfall, River, Basins - What you ride: 4x4 potholes, shaking, and how to prep your body

1.Crossing Island of Tahiti 4×4 Mountain, Waterfall, River, Basins

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 532 reviews · from $138Our pick

Cross Tahiti by 4x4 to crater, waterfalls, rivers and natural basins. Open-air ride, possible swims, bumpy road included.

“Unbelievable experience. The views are unmatched. The beauty is unforgettable. You will be standing a lot. The road is an off road experience . I would have loved a pair of workout gloves for holding onto the rails while standing. Definitely get in the river to cool and refresh. It is a workout to stand with knees bent to cushion bumps and hanging onto the rails- just to be aware when booking.”

2.Half-Day Guided Hike to Afareaitu Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · from $97Top rated

Guided half-day hike to Afareaitu Waterfall in Moorea, with cultural temple ruins, a guided swim, and a fresh fruit tasting by the river.

“I can't express how welcoming the staff was. A great experience learning about the plants and uses of the plants. The guides pointed out many ruins and discussed the christian destruction of these artifacts. The hike was sometimes a challenge as it had recently rained, but the guides were very professional and helpful you navigate the trail. We ended the tour with a beautiful lunch of fresh fruit from the garden. The presentation was breathtaking. I can't recommend this tour enough.”
