In the heart of the sacred Mo'aroa Valley, 40 minutes from Papeete, AOA Polynesian Forests opens the doors to a private estate of 230 hectares.
Guided by passionate naturalists, you explore a forest undergoing active restoration, populated by endemic and native species found nowhere else. Bamboo forest, large native banyan tree, medicinal plants, endemic birds, crystal clear river: each visit is an authentic immersion in Tahiti’s natural heritage.
Guided hikes, educational walks with trail games, vegetable dye workshops, immersion days — each activity contributes directly to the restoration of Polynesian biodiversity.

A 4-hour guided hike in the heart of a 230-hectare private forest sanctuary, 40 minutes from Papeete — far from Tahiti’s classic sightseeing tours. Accompanied by a Naturalist Guide who specializes in Polynesian biodiversity, you pass through successive landscapes of rare beauty: bamboo forest, active eating areas, reintroduced endemic species, to the great native banyan tree — the emblem of the Mo'aroa Valley. Along the way, every plant, every bird becomes a story: traditional uses, threats, preservation efforts. The hike ends with a swim in the fresh waters of the river — the perfect end point of an extraordinary day. Welcome with floral infusion and local biscuits included. Completely private domain: your group operates alone in the valley, without meeting other visitors. Your visit contributes directly to the active restoration of Polynesian biodiversity.
