Head towards the east coast of the island and continue on to Matavai Bay, where Tahara'a Point offers a great photo opportunity. Nearby you will find Point Venus. This is where Captain James Cook observed the transit of Venus in 1769, and the only lighthouse of the island was built here in 1867.
Lunch is served at the Gauguin Restaurant (or similar); then, continue on to the Spring Garden of Vaipahi, brimming with tropical plants and trees.
Last but not least, explore the interesting Museum of Tahiti & Her Islands, located in Punaauia, on the west coast of Tahiti. The museum displays a large array of archeological finds, Polynesian artwork and costumes that tell the story of ancient Tahiti.
