You know the beaches, waterfalls, and mountains of Tahiti… but have you ever explored its underground world?
The Hitiaa lava tubes take you on an extraordinary adventure, into the heart of lava tunnels carved thousands of years ago. Down there, in the cool, silent darkness, the island reveals itself differently: raw, mineral, fascinating.
You advance with a headlamp on your forehead, feet in the water, between natural pools, wet walls, and hidden waterfalls. Sometimes you have to jump, climb, crawl. You’re always guided by experts who know every nook and cranny. And depending on your level, you can choose your version of the adventure.
And to live this unique experience, two providers each offer you an immersion in their own way: Tahiti Reva Trek for an accessible aquatic hike, and Natura Exploration for a more technical version in canyoning mode.
