Embark on an exciting and cultural journey through the highlights of the Vanilla Island with a dynamic combo tour: a fun 4×4 safari followed by a thrilling Jet Ski ride on Taha’a’s pristine lagoon.

Start the day with a guided safari across the island, discovering local life and cultural gems. Meet welcoming locals, visit the renowned Pari Pari rum distillery in Tapuamu, and explore a vanilla plantation with tastings of fresh fruits and juices. You’ll also visit a black pearl farm to learn about grafting techniques and the secrets of Tahitian pearls.

Your guide will share valuable insights into native plants and their everyday uses in Polynesian life. Enjoy scenic botanical stops, panoramic views from Tiva and Haamene lookouts, and a lively “coconut show” with a tasting of fresh coconut water.

Then it’s time to shift gears—literally—with a 1-hour Jet Ski ride! Departing from Haamene Bay, ride north toward the Vahine Island hotel, admiring turquoise waters, wild motus, and overwater bungalows along the way before returning to Haamene.
