Faaroa River & Marae Taputapuatea
In the heart of Raiatea, known as the sacred island, take a boat trip along the Faaroa River to visit the Taputapuatea marae. The island is renowned for its cultural and religious sites. Accompanied by your guide, discover its treasures. From the lagoon, take Polynesia’s only navigable river, lined with lush vegetation. Your guide’s ancestral legends will captivate you. The Taputapuatea marae, Polynesia’s first and most sacred, will reveal its history. Then head to motu Iriru for some welcome relaxation: warm sand, swimming and underwater encounters.
Our experience
With our guide, we kayaked the Faaroa River and drove around the island. His enthusiasm and humor made the day memorable. He shares fascinating anecdotes about Polynesia and its flora. The Marae, the most imposing in French Polynesia, deserves to be explored from a height to appreciate its full scale. Detailed explanations would be appreciated. (James - Concierge)
