Itinerary

Stop 1

Feel the atmosphere of ancient Polynesian spirituality at this authentic open-air stone temple (marae). Many say the mana—the island’s life force—still lingers between the stones, offering a powerful window into traditional culture and belief.

Stop 2

Feel the cool freshness of this spring-fed cave as natural fresh water brings a breeze of cool air to our stop. Tied to Polynesian legend, this shaded grotto is a favorite spot for locals to relax and bathe.

Stop 3

Vaipahi Water Gardens — Stroll shaded, spring-fed paths lined with lush tropical flora—bird-of-paradise, ginger torch, lotus and more. Admire the small waterfall and cascading streams, vibrant blooms, and serene pools that make this a refreshing stop.

Stop 4

Faarumai Waterfalls — Be wowed by a grand 300-foot cascade pouring into a lush green valley. Follow the easy path as your guide points out hidden gems along the way, and hear the local legend tied to this magical spot.

Stop 5

Point Venus — Enjoy sweeping views of the long black-sand beach, a favorite spot for locals. Visit the lighthouse and historical monuments while hearing stories of early European navigators—Captain Cook and Captain Bligh—who anchored here at Matavai Bay; it’s a lovely place for a gentle seaside walk.
