To know and enjoy the heart of Tahiti among mountains and waterfalls
It is an excursion that allows you to enjoy the landscape of Tahiti among its high mountains until reaching the end of the route where there is a water dam and some terraces that remind one of Machu Picchu. A beautiful landscape. Then you can bathe in the river next to a very beautiful waterfall as well. That route cannot be done by car, only walking or by mountain bike, and if it is electric, as ours were, much better, because you go up the slopes without difficulty.
Highly recommended, it allows you to get to know the interior valleys of Tahiti among its high mountains and waterfalls.
The guide was very professional and kind.

First electric mountain biking experience absolutely memorable!
Wonderful day combining nature, sport, and discovery with new sensations and a good dose of adrenaline. We had never done electric mountain biking before. It was therefore a first for us, in a magnificent setting and especially with a very pedagogical guide who took all the precautions to ensure that we had a very pleasant time and that we made the most of this beautiful adventure. For us, it was truly an achievement to have completed the entire course without a single scratch. Honestly, we would have never believed we could do that!
Absolutely amazing and unforgettable. It really makes you want to do it again…
We highly recommend it.
Thank you a thousand times, Teiki. Thank you very much.
Abdel.

Top notch tour, don’t miss this!
Teiki was absolutely phenomenal and the tour was top notch from start to finish. We saw some of the most stunning views and got to experience a downpour during our ride (which was so fun). I cannot recommend this tour enough and I would 1000% do it again. Teiki, thank you for everything and for making the start of our trip so memorable!
Operator response
Māuruuru, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad that you enjoyed your time! It was great to have such adventurous guests who trusted our guide with this unexpected downpour! We were happy to share such a special place with you!

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Heureux que l’itinéraire en VTT électrique, les points de vue et la pause rivière vous aient plu. Nous adaptons toujours le rythme au groupe pour une expérience sécurisée, conviviale et sportive (il faut simplement être à l’aise à vélo sur chemins).

True Mountain Bike Experience
While these are e-bikes, be prepared for a full day of challenging terrain and physical exertion. Knowledge of how to use gears on a mountain bike would be helpful. Not for beginners. Great way to see a part of Tahiti that most people never will. The owner/guide is very caring, knowledgeable and passionate about the island, trails and bikes. He is very engaged is all things. You will get dirty but you won’t care.
Operator response
Thank you for the candid, detailed review—this is exactly the ride we promise: a real e-MTB mountain trail with climbs, descents, and some messy fun along the way. We recommend it for riders already comfortable with gears and off-road handling; I’m glad the hidden valleys delivered. We keep groups small, give a thorough safety/tech briefing, and coach key sections so you can ride them with confidence. If someone’s unsure about their level, reach out—we can discuss gentler routes or a private, skills-focused option. Māuruuru for riding with us!

E-bike Adventure
Our group had an amazing time. We weren’t initially excited to ride in the rain, but it was a blast. Teiki provided us with lunch, drinks, a backpack and waterproof covers The e-bikes made the ride pretty easy and the views were amazing. It was a lot more fun than any of us expected it would be. I would highly recommend this adventure. You won’t be disappointed.

Ia ora na and thank you so much for this great review! 🌧️🚵♀️
We’re thrilled you embraced the rain— we only confirm the tour if we are certain that it will be safe to ride, for our guests and our gear. A little rain often turns the ride into a true rainforest adventure, with waterfalls. And with the e-assist and waterproof setup we can keep it fun and safe while the valley really comes alive.
Māuruuru roa for recommending us!

Amazing Adventure
One of the best tours I have done in all of my travels! I came off of the cruise ship and was immediately picked up by Teiki to start our day of adventure. Teiki was so fun, knowledgeable, and tailored the tour for my skill level. I left the day a little muddy and with a huge smile on my face! I loved seeing the lush nature, waterfalls, and learning more about life here. I highly recommend this tour and Teiki in general! It’s the perfect tour for anyone who loves a hidden gem, a little adventure, and a tiny bit off the beaten path. So much fun! Thanks Teiki!

Ia ora na and māuruuru roa for this wonderful feedback! 🚵♀️🌿
We’re delighted your cruise-day pickup was seamless and that Teiki could tailor the ride to your pace. A little Tahitian mud + e-MTB assist is often the perfect recipe for smiles—especially when the valley, waterfalls, and local life all come together.

Very nice experience
Teiki picked us up from our hotel; he took us to a good bakery to choose a sandwich (included in the package). We then went to the starting point of the walk. Teiki's instructions are clear and precise. He is reassuring and accompanies us throughout the walk. We enjoyed beautiful scenery while doing some sport.
Note: the bikes are in very good condition.
Thank you Teiki and good luck!

Thanks Teiki!
This was an amazing experience and a unique way to explore Tahiti. The tour guide and owner, Teiki, put so much effort into making this unforgettable. He provided very high quality e-bikes, tailored things to our riding ability, and gave us plenty of time to chill at waterfalls and river swims. I will do this again if I’m ever fortunate enough to return.
Operator response

It’s great that you had time to relax at the waterfalls and enjoy the river swims — these moments make the tour truly special. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure whenever you return!
