Step into a lush, fern-draped sanctuary where crystal-clear freshwater pools hide beneath a towering basalt arch. This hidden gem offers a serene atmosphere once frequented by Paul Gauguin. Our expert guides share the "optical illusion" secrets of the caves—where the depths appear shallower than they truly are—ensuring your brief visit is packed with history, photography opportunities, and the pure Mana of French Polynesia. A favorite stop for the locals who are often swimming here in the cave
Explore a vibrant sanctuary of rare tropical flora, where exotic orchids, giant ferns, and ancient hardwoods create a lush canopy of color. The centerpiece of your visit is the Vaipahi Waterfall, a majestic cascade that feeds tranquil, lily-studded ponds and creates a cooling micro-climate. Wander the winding paths through this botanical paradise to witness the raw beauty of Tahiti’s native plant species and the serene power of its falling waters—a true highlight for nature lovers and photographers alike.
These Ancient Valley Temples provide the perfect opportunity to learn about the ancient Polynesian culture and beliefs while admiring the breathtaking scenery. The visit takes you on an easy walk past the two impressive Tiki statues guarding the site. The huge valley and luscious tropical scenery nothing short of breathtaking
One of the most legendary spots in the South Pacific. On your Unique Tahiti island tour, we’ll take you to this stunning peninsula where world-changing history meets the ocean. You’ll get to see the iconic white lighthouse and walk the famous black sand beach. This is the exact site where Captain Cook tracked the transit of Venus and, famously, where the HMS Bounty anchored. You can stand right where Captain Bligh and his crew came ashore to collect breadfruit saplings—a mission that eventually led to the world's most famous mutiny! It’s a huge part of Tahiti’s story, and a gorgeous place to soak up the sea breeze.
Escape the heat with a stop at the Vaihi Waterfalls in Faaone. Known by locals as the "Twin Falls," these side-by-side cascades tumble into a cool, crystal-clear basin just steps away from the coastal road. Wander through a lush garden of tropical blooms and fruit trees to reach this shaded oasis. It’s the perfect spot to feel the mist on your face, snap some incredible photos, and experience the quiet, wild beauty of Tahiti’s eastern coast.
A wonderful look out for photos looking back over PAPEETE and the island of MOOREA

We had a fabulous West Coast Full Day tour with Dom. There were 5 of us, age range from 4- 65 years old and we all enjoyed the tour very much. Dom was a wealth of knowledge and made it interesting for all - would highly recommend.
Great tour and Tracy was very informative. Really enjoyable afternoon. Would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing full day tour exploring Tahiti from the east coast to the west! Our guide took us beyond the usual tourist stops and into local neighborhoods, giving us a genuine glimpse of family life, culture, and everyday life in Tahiti. The experience felt personal and welcoming. She truly went above and beyond for our group of 11. She accommodated an additional car following her throughout the entire tour so everyone could enjoy the experience together. She also shared helpful recommendations on where to stay and was flexible with our drop-off location, which made everything much easier for our family. We had so much fun that the day flew by we couldn’t believe it was over and left wanting more! Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience not just Tahiti’s beautiful scenery, but also its people and way of life. Thank you for such a memorable day!
Our tour with Tracy was one of the highlights of our trip to Tahiti! From the moment we met her, she made us feel so welcome with her warm personality and infectious positive energy. What really stood out was how much she shared about the history of the islands, the Tahitian culture, and the traditions that make this place so special. She did not just point out the sights, she brought them to life with stories and insights that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Tahiti. You can tell Tracy truly loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every part of the experience. We left feeling like we had not only seen the island but had genuinely connected with it. If you are visiting Tahiti, do not hesitate to book with Unique Tahiti Tours. We could not recommend Tracy more highly and would absolutely tour with her again!
Thank you so much Norma - it was a complete pleasure sharing Tahiti with you and your husband - thank you for your confidence and this wonderful review
We had the pleasure of having Unique Tahiti to give us a tour. What a pleasant day. Our ship arrived and as we waited for our tour guide, Tracy came and met us. She was interested in how everything was going and what we thought the day would be like. When our tour guide Gana arrived, she briefed him on our hopes for the day. Gana is a college educated native who speaks at least four languages. He told us about himself after he loaded our luggage and wanted to discuss the plan for the day as we got started. He was willing to take us wherever we wanted as long as it fit in our schedule. I could go on and on about our day. But, I’ll just say of all the tours I’ve had around the world this was by far the best. But wait, we needed a way to the airport for our flight that night. Tracy came to the hotel my sister and husband was staying in and took me and my wife to the airport. I couldn’t believe how outgoing she was. But wait, there’s more. She came back to the hotel the next morning and took my sister and husband to the airport. Absolutely amazing. So it you find yourself needing a tour in Tahiti, book with Unique Tahiti.
Tracey & her team are the absolute best! Great communication from first contact, highly professional, comfortable Mercedes vans with great AC. They have personal relationships with pearl dealers, wood carvers, fabric makers & provide great opportunities for authentic souvenirs. They know the island inside & out. I highly recommend a visit to the now famous surf spot where the Olympics were held with them. Best experience we had while here in Tahiti! We like it so much, we have booked tours with them every year we come!
Outstanding! Tracy was awesome, very personable and knowledgeable. She was professional, flexible on the itinerary and very engaging. It was a full and fun day. Highly recommend and good value!!
We just had a marvelous and memorable tour of the west coast of Tahiti with our driver Dominic. He arrive right on time and immediately made us comfortable. He grew up and lives on the west coast, so he was incredibly informative about the environment, the flora, history (Polynesian in particular), economic and social matters. We learned so much about this interesting community and how it fits within the French territories. This was 4 hours well spent with an articulate local expert. Tracey who managed the reservation was an outstanding communicator. They are both highly recommended.
We chose a half-day tour of Tahiti and Mihi was our fabulous guide. We made several stops along the way to learn about traditions, history, culture and what is produced on the island. Our guide gave us a thorough and in-depth presentation of the island that she loves. Highly recommend.
Excellent! Thank you for choosing our Private Tahiti Tour. It’s fantastic to know that your Half-Day Private Tour provided the deep dive into local culture and history that you were looking for. Mihi is such a great guide, loves her island home and sharing it with our guests . The aim of our private tours is to give guests a personal connection to Tahiti, and we are thrilled we achieved that for you. We appreciate the high recommendation!
We were so fortunate to have Tracey, the owner of the company, as our guide—and she was truly amazing! Tracey is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, with a warm, kind personality and a wonderful sense of humor. My wife and I enjoyed every single moment we spent with her. During the tour, we visited incredible sites along both the east and west coasts. Tracey not only shared the fascinating history of this beautiful island but also gave us insight into its current culture and way of life. This was an unforgettable experience, and we honestly could not have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable day. We highly recommend Tracey and Unique Tahiti Tour!
Thank you Peter - its great to hear you enjoyed the tour and Traceys company - we love to share our island home with our visitors - we have been doing it for a long time and are always fearful that perhaps we lack the luster needed - glad to hear that is not the case!! Hope to see you here again should you ever be back in our neck of the woods! Best wishes to you both
