Sustainable Travel in
The Islands of Tahiti

There are several Tahitian Guesthouses nestled in the Fenua Aihere, and cut off from the rest of the world in beautiful natural surroundings. There are no roads in this southern part of Tahiti, so it is only accessible by boat.

You’ll find some superb hiking trails on which you’ll discover the lush vegetation and hidden treasures of this isolated paradise. At the end of the day, you’ll be ready for a typical Tahitian meal at your guesthouse, including a mouthwatering poisson cru.

There are several companies that propose excursions by outrigger sailing canoe. Opting for this eco-responsible activity, is a way of supporting the preservation of a traditional aspect of Polynesian culture.

Without this support, these traditional sailing boats could be reduced to museum pieces and the ancestral navigation techniques to anecdotes in history books. So, not only will you have hours of fun, you’ll also be helping to keep the traditional culture of Tahiti alive.

In the afternoon, visit Coral Gardeners in Paopao, where you can adopt a piece of coral that will be replanted in the coral reef. You’ll learn about the different corals and the dangers that face them, and at the same time you’ll be making an active contribution to their preservation, and that of the entire marine biosystem.

We recommend that you seek the services of travel agents that organize vacations respectful of the environment, culture and local communities. There is a wide choice of eco-friendly accommodations and activities that respect the marine diversity, so insist that your vacation in The Islands of Tahiti be eco-responsible .
