Board a typical motorized Polynesian outrigger canoe and glide on deep blue waters towards the east coast of the island.
You'll travel upstream on the only navigable river in the Society Islands — the Faaroa River. Along the way, the steep riverbanks are clad in lush jungle foliage and are home to a diverse range of bird species. Wild hibiscus trees (purau) grow along the sheer cliffs at the edge of the rain forest. Pass some villages en route — a chance to observe the daily life of the inhabitants.
Leaving the river, you will transfer to a small motu, or islet, where you will have time to enjoy the warm sea water and relax in the sun.
Notes:
Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. At the beach, participants must hop out of the canoe using a side ladder and wade a few yards in shallow water to reach the shore.
