Mythical journey from Tahiti West to Teahupo'o with Tainui

la ora na! Welcome! I am Tainui, your Guide and friend of Tahiti. Child of the fenua (country), I introduce you to my island and my culture. My knowledge was passed on to me by the elders, and supplemented by the literature of our history. An adventure rich in experiences awaits you, full of legends, discoveries, encounters and sharing. I created Ta'ati Fenua with the desire to think outside the box by offering unifying and rewarding experiences for our country, its people and its culture. No folklore here, you are welcomed as friends. Ta'ati = join, bind, unite. Fenua = country, island, land.

   This beautiful beach on the Tahitian peninsula welcomes us and sparkles in its turquoise lagoon the mythical exploits of its eponymous hero. We stop there with the opportunity to enjoy an equally legendary lunch, feet in the sand.

   The Tahiti road literally stops here at kilometre 0, the mythical surf spot of Teahupo'o. It is the scene of the 2024 Olympic Games, but also the birthplace of many legends. If the sky allows us, I reserve for you the most beautiful surprises.
