Maraa Grotto: impossibly lush freshwater pools, small caves and the dripping grotto itself, ringed by ferns, which Paul Gauguin mentioned in his letters home (taking time away from his usual whining for loans; poor guy didn’t exactly live the life he painted).
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: The Water Gardens of Vaipahi, Taravao French Polynesia
Situated along Tahiti's southern coast in Mataiea, the Vaipahi Gardens are a verdant paradise.

Great tour! Our guide Fabrice was very nice, attentive and knowledgeable about the places we visited. He was also a good driver and knew the best spots for pictures! The tour took about 5 hours and is a great option to get to get to know the Tahiti island in 1/2 a day. Thanks again Fabrice!

We drove around the large island in a private van with our guide Fabrice. He was born and raised in Tahiti, knew the history and points of interest very well. His English is very good. Please note that this is not an off road trip. We traveled on paved roads that go around the large island of Tahiti and stopped at various points of interest, including the Paul Gauguin gardens, two waterfalls, a grotto , a temple of sacrifice, a blow hole and a black sand beach. The whole trip gave us a good understanding of the lifestyle on the island and its history. Fabrice is very friendly and talkative. I recommend this tour especially for first time visitors to Tahiti.This is an excellent way to meet Papeete, the guide speaks excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Actual pick up as promised, too, which many tours here lie about!
