Top 10 attractions in Tahiti
Tahiti
Tahiti is an island in French Polynesia and serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of the region. It was formed by volcanic activity, and its overall terrain is characterized by towering mountains, deep valleys, tropical forests, and coral reefs surrounding the coast. The majestic silhouette of the island's mountains, combined with the azure waters along the coast, creates a natural view with a strong tropical flair. The coastline here is diverse, featuring black volcanic sand beaches, light-colored sand beaches, coral reef bays, and clear lagoons. Visitors can experience activities such as snorkeling, diving, surfing, and marine sightseeing, while enjoying the tropical fish and marine ecosystem.Papenoo · 11.7 km from downtown
Tetiaroa
Tetiaroa is located in French Polynesia in the South Pacific and is an atoll composed of several low-lying coral islands. It surrounds a light blue lagoon, with the islands connected by clear seawater and coral reefs, featuring a typical South Pacific tropical island view. Far from large cities, the overall environment is tranquil and retains a relatively pristine coastal landscape. Its natural features include white sandy beaches, palm forests, coral reefs, and a rich marine ecosystem. The lagoon waters have distinct color layers, presenting an interwoven view of blue and green under the sunlight.Arue · 59.9 km from downtown
Cascade de Fautaua
If you visit Tahiti during the rainy season, be sure to see the spectacular Cascade de Fautaua. Located in the lush Fautaua Valley, the waterfall cascades down from a height of approx. 985 feet. Even from a distance, you can see the upper part of the waterfall and the surrounding peaks, making it a true natural wonder. If you want to see the waterfall up close, you will need to hike, but please bring mosquito repellent as there are many mosquitoes in the valley.Faaa · 9.2 km from downtown
Maraa Grotto
Maraa Grotto is a cave surrounded by lush ferns and dense vegetation, making it a popular attraction on Tahiti island tours. A winding path in the park leads directly here, where visitors can enter to explore or even swim to the Paroa Cave, where the water is clear. If you plan to swim in the underwater cave, we recommend wearing your swimsuit beforehand and bringing a towel. The area around the cave is slippery, so please be careful not to slip while walking.Paea · 7 km from downtown

In a cemetery not far away lie Pomalius I, II, III and IV. The mausoleum faces the sea.

What travellers say about Tahiti

【View】The beauty of Tetiaroa's scenery is totally out of this world. The mountain views from the transfer boat when arriving in Bora Bora are spectacular.
【Value for money】A must visit.

Mountains and sea are the best assets of this beautiful island country. People come to this island from afar to see the beautiful scenery of paradise far away from the world, just like God's fantasy Garden of Eden. With the flowing waterfalls, beauties and children of nature, it really seems like the real place where Adam and Eve lived. Lazily lying on the rocks on the beach for half a day⬆️, you will really get Polynesian syndrome. Sunlight, oxygen, green trees and coconuts are all worthy of Gauguin's fascination.
