Kayak up the Faaroa River, the only navigable river in French Polynesia, through the magnificent rainforest of the island of Raiatea!

An original way of discovering Raiatea through the explanations of a local guide, kayaking up the Faaroa River is a unique experience in French Polynesia. Indeed, as the only navigable river in the archipelago, the Faaroa River is an exceptional place that deserves a visit!

For about 3 hours, you will enjoy a kayak trip on the Faaroa River with a professional who knows the area like the back of his hand.
