Overview

Teahupoo, located on the little part of Tahiti (or "Tahiti Iti"), is now worldly known thanks to its special waves that host an international surfing competition.

If you are visiting Tahiti and her islands, this tour is a "must do", even if you're not surfer.

Instead of watching from the beach, you can have something different, something unique by boarding our new aluminium catamaran boat.

Our captain, borne and raised in Tahiti, is also a surfer and grew up surfing the whole area. He will tell you everything you have to know about "Teahupo'o".

You will navigate a place full of history and "mana".

    Teahupo'o Wave

    Avant de commencer ce tour, il vous faudra venir par vous même jusqu’à la marina de Teahupoo qui se situe à 1h30min de voiture de Papeete. Une fois à la marina de Teahupoo, vous serez accueillis par votre capitaine puis embarquerez à bord de votre bateau. Après 3 minutes de traverser du lagon, vous arriverez sur le spot de surf de Teahupoo. Là, votre capitaine vous expliquera tout ce qu’il y a à savoir sur ce spot de surf mythique. Des anecdotes, des histoires, des expériences personnelles, des légendes, vous vivrez une expérience personnalisée. Après une heure passée ensemble, le bateau reviendra à son point de départ où vous pourrez récupérer votre véhicule. En fonction de la taille des vagues, préparez vous à vivre une expérience unique, rempli de « mana ».

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Teahupoo Wave Watching?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
