Circle Island Tours in Tahiti

The coast road around Tahiti Nui, the larger of the island’s two lobes, measures 114 kilometres — 54 out to Taravao along the east coast and about 60 back along the west. Driving time alone is well over two hours, so a half-day tour covers one coast and a full day closes the loop. What you stop for is waterfalls, the blowhole, a black sand beach and views across to Moorea, not a single headline sight.

Which circle island tour suits whom?

The offers come in three formats. Shared half-day tours take four to five hours and start at €86 per person. Full-day options run about eight hours, such as the small-group west coast tour that ends at Teahupoʻo, from €220 per person. Private tours are priced per vehicle instead: from €483 for up to four people on a half day, and from €730 for up to seven on a full day.

The stop list tells you more than the title. The Faarumai waterfalls, the Maraa grottoes, the Vaipahi water gardens, Point Venus and Marae Arahurahu turn up in different combinations, so decide what you want to see and look for it on the card.

Couples and solo travellers usually do best on a shared half day, since a private vehicle is priced for the whole group. A family of five or more can compare the private price with the shared one: a full-day private tour for seven from €730, split seven ways, lands close to a shared half-day ticket. If you get seasick, note that the Teahupoʻo day with a taxi boat, priced for up to two people, adds time on the water.

Not every card here loops around Tahiti Nui. A few start on Moorea, one sails to Tetiaroa and two are boat or whale trips along the Tahiti Iti peninsula.

Before you book: There is no road right around Tahiti Iti, the smaller peninsula: it simply ends past Teahupoʻo. Any tour promising to circle the whole island means Tahiti Nui, which is the loop that exists.

Before you book

Questions travellers actually ask

Is a half day enough, or should I book a full day?

A half day of four to five hours shows you a good part of one coast or a selection from both. A full day of about eight hours gives you time to cover more ground, and it is the length of the Teahupoʻo trips. The driving alone is over two hours, so a half day cannot do everything.

Does a private tour cost less than it looks?

Private tours are priced per vehicle, not per person. A full-day private tour from €730 for up to seven people split across a full car, comes close to a shared half-day ticket per head. For two people the same tour is far more expensive than a shared half day from €86 per person, so work out your own group size first.

What should I ask the provider before booking?

Ask where the tour starts, how many people share the minivan, and whether lunch or a tasting is included, since only some cards mention one. If a particular waterfall or beach is the reason you are going, ask whether it is a fixed stop.
