About the activity

Supervised by a guide, this stand-up paddle excursion on the Faaroa River in Raiatea will allow you to discover this river, unique in French Polynesia, during a 2-hour outing, alongside a guide who will provide commentary throughout the trip: explanations about the island of Raiatea, its history and culture, as well as its fauna and flora, with of course a special focus on the Faaroa River. You will enjoy paddling safely on sheltered, calm waters, in a peaceful atmosphere that makes the experience truly unforgettable. The bonus? You will fully respect the environment thanks to the use of stand-up paddle boards, which do not pollute and do not disturb the animals living along the river!

This accessible experience requires no particular prior experience, and this stand-up paddle excursion on the Faaroa River is suitable for most people from the age of 9, provided they can swim. With your SUP board and paddle, you will have the advantage of reaching areas that boats cannot access, offering you a true immersion in the heart of Polynesian nature! With its wild setting beneath the shade of the trees, the Faaroa River will make you feel as though you are setting off on an incredible jungle expedition in Raiatea by stand-up paddle. Ready to step into the shoes of adventurers and create memorable memories?

Whether you enjoy the activity with family, as a couple, with friends or even on your own, this guided stand-up paddle excursion on Raiatea’s Faaroa River is sure to delight everyone!

I loved it - it was probably the highlight of my time on Raiatea - I liked the challenge of SUPping and being able to see the eels and jackfish in the water. It was very pleasant!
