Three Stand Up Paddle boards are at your disposal. Explore the white sandbanks just 10 minutes from the house, or adventure along the unspoilt Fenua Aihere coastline at your own pace. You can also simply join our floating pontoon for unforgettable daily swims.
SNORKELING / SWIMMING
SNORKELING / NATATION
The lagoon in front of the house offers remarkable coral biodiversity, with thousands of tropical fish, rays, sea turtles and young harmless sharks. Choose from different courses adapted to your swimming level: explore the coastal reef or the lagoon sandbar, over long or short distances and in deep or shallow water. An unforgettable experience !
✓ The shortest distance: starting from the floating pontoon, swim to the right and explore the coral garden, between the channel and the coastline!
✓ The best part: take the kayak or stand up paddle and row 5 to 10 minutes straight in front of the house in the lagoon until you reach the sandbank right opposite! Put on your mask and fins and explore this coral garden, from the sandbank to the reef, as you wish: hundreds of corals with different shapes and pigments are the preferred habitat of tropical fish with a thousand colors!
✓ Swimming course 1: swim from the house, follow the fringing reef to the right, follow the drop-off to the white and black marker: at the channel, look left and right before crossing, then continue along of the white sand bank as much as you want...Think about the return journey being as long as the outward journey! This route offers the best chance of encountering rays.
✓ Swimming course 2: swim from the house, follow the fringing reef to the right. Arriving at the black and white marker, do not cross the channel but follow the channel, swimming outside it to Fare Mahora point. This portion is a real coral garden with multicolored fish. At Fare Mahora point, depending on your level of endurance, continue towards the mouth of the end of the road to extend your swim or return on foot to the house along the coast, or swim back.
✓ Swimming course 3: follow course 2 to Fare Mahora Point or walk on foot to Fare Mahora Point. At this point, cross the channel towards the pass following the outer drop-off of the reef: after passing along the underwater caves, continue along the reef barrier: numerous fish typical of coral passes and frequent sea turtles. Continue to the green marker and even further to the surf spot: think carefully about the duration of the return trip, depending on your strength. Warning: Route prohibited in case of excessive swell: strong currents!

Bicycle ride
Balade à vélo
Discover the surrounding area by bike on an incredible and leisurely ride. Travel the winding path through lush nature, hug the coastline and soak up Tahiti's spectacular landscapes.
After 10 minutes of driving, reach the end of the road and take the Tahiti ring road by pedaling towards Taravao, on the cycle path, which runs alongside the road:
1) After 15 minutes, after the town entrance sign, there is a tap with free and fresh water: 3 minutes further, stop at the small cement wall by the sea, to discover a small source of fresh water which emerges into the sea and generates a very original roadside bathing area….
2) Stop at Tino's (MATAI VANIRA), a little before the Vavi river bridge, to buy organic and local 100% vanilla and admire its small vanilla plantation.
3) Drive another 30 minutes on the road to buy souvenirs at the artisan fare, at the Vairao town hall, on the mountain side, opposite the town quay.
4) Then, just a few pedal strokes further, discover the Marae Nuutere, (turning right at the yellow MFR sign on the mountain side), an archaeological vestige of ancestral times.
5) Swim, a little further, at the unmissable white sand beach of Maui, on the side of the road and perhaps meet, while snorkelling, sea turtles, along the fringing reef (access via the small passes along the mooring cement block, only in calm seas),
6) Stroll at Riri Point, a little further away, Punui seaside, site developed following the 2024 Olympic surfing games.
7) On the way back, eat at the “Maui Beach” restaurant for its view of the lagoon from your table (or buy food at the small store opposite to have a picnic on the beach!) or return to Vairao quay, next to the town hall, to eat at the Tetavania snack restaurant, for its menu very popular with locals.
8) Continuing to return towards Teahupo'o, meet the roadside sellers and make your "short circuit" purchases: fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, etc. Stop at Aquapac, just before reaching the end of the road, to buy farmed shrimp directly from the producer.
River baths
Bains de rivière
A few steps from Tahiti-bungalow, three wonderful river swimming sites await you. Dive into crystal clear, refreshing waters surrounded by the natural beauty of the island of Tahiti.
• The large swimming pool at the end of the road: at the mouth, where you can swim a little, observe the eels with a mask and sunbathe facing the sea; It can be crowded on the weekend!
• The “little bath”: to sit in the water, cool, with a drink, just above the ford in the river, and greet everyone who crosses to return home: a great classic in the village !
• The mini waterfall overlooked by its small swimming pool, 15/30 minutes walk from Tahiti-bungalow (Vainoho hike)
Polynesian cuisine
Cuisine polynésienne
Make the recipe for the famous Polynesian dessert: “poe” made with seasonal fruits, cassava and coconut milk! Pam, who you may have already encountered in her 4X4 or with her brush cutter in the field, will come with seasonal fruits from her garden, a few coconuts and you will have to extract the milk, prepare the fruits and the dough, then cook everything before serving your dessert and letting the whole house taste it! You will take the opportunity to learn a few words of Tahitian because Pam does not speak English, which makes the workshop much tastier! 5000f / 2h.
Wild life
Vie sauvage
26 species of land and sea birds fly in the sky and land on the branches of the Tahiti-bungalow trees. Some are sedentary in the surrounding area, others are migratory and return every year. Observe them particularly in the morning or late afternoon, by the sea or in the Aateahi garden, with binoculars or with the naked eye, and learn to recognize them according to their song, using the poster on the wall of your house !
The stream at the edge of your house is home to Tilapia, goatfish and eels. You can feed the eels with meat, chicken, fish and pet them in the process! The 3 ducks that live on the land are no longer really wild and will be happy to eat what you offer them: vegetable peelings, leftovers from your plates, etc.

Several hikes, starting from the house or being dropped off by a taxi boat, are entirely doable as a family, depending on the age and sporting level of each person.
The children spend hours on the floating pontoon in front of the house, swimming, diving, jumping, going back and forth in kayaks and paddles... They love the mini-pool!
They can introduce themselves to the joys of water sports by going for a bit of bodyboarding, at the children's wave at the end of the road, on the beach.
The absence of roads and fences gives them a real feeling of freedom to cycle, run and play on the paths, build cabins, etc. in the middle of nature and in complete safety!
Equipment for toddlers can be loaned to you: high chair, baby bed, umbrella mosquito net (contact us in advance)...
For lovers
Pour les amoureux
Tahiti-bungalow offers an ideal cocoon for lovers looking for shared moments.
They particularly appreciate the taxi-boat ride in the lagoon at sunset, the romantic meal on the beach, their feet in the water or on the floating pontoon, the endless walks on the lagoon, everyone has their own on a paddle or in pairs on a kayak, the freshness of the mid-day wind at nap time. They share unforgettable moments walking on the paths, in the countryside and in the rivers…..
some treat themselves to a Polynesian massage at home, while others prefer to go diving/snorkelling hand in hand or ride a jet ski together to explore the ocean and lagoon.
Relaxing
Farniente
Doing nothing is a vital activity for human beings!
Tahiti-bungalow is the ideal place to live this experience deliberately:
hammocks are at your disposal to be installed on your mini beach, throw a large mattress and a few cushions on the deck or in the shade of the large trees which sing in the wind of the refreshing trade winds.
Each bath in the sea or river invites you to press pause, to become contemplative: the steep and green mountains, the shades of blue that evolve throughout the day on the lagoon before your eyes, the songs of the birds that we can recognize by ear the sound of the whales' tails hitting the surface of the ocean...maybe have a drink and then... Lie down again….
