AOA Polynesian Forests
A full day in a private forest sanctuary of 230 hectares, in the heart of the sacred valley of Mo'aroa.
A complete and committed experience
Beyond the discovery, you are actively involved in the Polynesian Forest Restoration project: you plant a native tree with your own hands, which will continue to grow well after your Check-out. A concrete, living trace left on the fenua.
The day unfolds through the different faces of the valley: active eating areas, botanical trails, grand banyan, short circuit meals and planting.
Guided by a passionate naturalist, each moment is a gateway to the natural and cultural history of Tahiti, its medicinal plants, endemic birds, traditional knowledge.
Welcome with floral infusion and local biscuits.
Private domain: your group evolves, without meeting other visitors.
Your visit contributes directly to the active restoration of Polynesian biodiversity.
