Private 4x4 Island Safari: Maeva, Marae & Hidden Viewpoints

A fully private, tailor-made 4x4 journey through Huahine's lush interior and sacred sites — ancient marae temples, vanilla plantations, and Tefarerii viewpoint. Huahine's most complete bucket-list island experience, paced entirely for you.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you dockside and loads you into a rugged 4x4 for an immersive loop of both Huahine-Nui and Huahine-Iti. You'll stand atop the Maeva marae — the largest concentration of pre-European temples in all of French Polynesia — with a storyteller who brings the ancestral Mā'ohi culture to vivid life. A stop at a working vanilla plantation reveals the painstaking hand-pollination that makes Tahitian vanilla the world's most prized, often followed by a local fruit tasting. The day closes at a secluded viewpoint over the twin lagoons, the kind of panorama that earns Huahine its nickname, 'the wild island.'
