Top Papeete Outdoor Activities

Set sail across the Pacific on this 2-hour dolphin-watching cruise from Papeete, including hotel pick-up. Soak up the serene scenery of Tahiti Island and if you’re lucky, catch sight of majestic spinner dolphins swimming and playing in Fisherman’s Bay. Stop along the way to swim or snorkel in a tranquil lagoon and pass by surfing hotspots like Taapuna Pass and Sapinus.

Explore the lesser visited south-west coast of the island of Tahiti on a boat tour around the peninsula and Teahupoo. You will discover that there is more to Teahupoo than its world-famous waves. You'll see turquoise lagoons, rugged cliffs, hidden caves and spectacular waterfalls. Included is a hike through pristine rainforest that is only accessible by foot and there is also time for a swim and snorkel in the clear waters of the peninsula. Your adventure begins and ends at the Teahupoo Marina, located approximately 45 miles (75 km) from Papeete. You will need to make your own way to the marina to join the tour by hiring a car or renting a taxi (at own expense).
