Surfing

Teahupoo pulls in more swells than anywhere, but on Tahiti it’s not all scary barrels. The quality of the waves is exceptional and the waves are varied. Guides will find the best spot for you to surf your own waves between heats.

Lush mountains

Dramatic peaks plunge to the coastline and hidden waterfalls await. Tereva’s expert guides lead you on thrilling hikes through lush valleys to secret spots that few have seen.

Vibrant reefs

The fishing, diving, and snorkeling here is some of the best in the world and you could easily spend your days getting lost in the abundance of the oceans riches. The water ranges from deep sea blues to crystal clear turquoise and the reefs are teeming with life.

“In the lineup, arriving surfers greet each other by saying “Iaorana”, typically paddling up to each and every surfer in the lineup and offering a shaka, shake, or fist bump and nodding in acknowledgment and respect. There’s a lot we can all learn from this simple act of kindness.”

—Chris Dodds

Why surf Tahiti?

It’s hard to think of a better place for constant swell exposure than smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Barrier reefs wrap around the island, creating a variety of world-class setups, ranging from playful passes to bone-dry mutant slabs like Teahupo’o. Regardless of whether you’re looking to stock up on late-drop visions or simply sit back and soak in its pristine beauty, the magic of Polynesia is undeniable.

The Tahitian Ambassador

When it comes to the world’s heaviest wave, Tereva David is recognized as a master teacher and wisdom keeper. His family has a special place in the history and culture of Tahitian surfing. Tereva doesn’t just bank on his family name, he earns respect whether it’s towing in at Teahupo’o, or coaching the next generation of chargers. If you’re with him, you’ve landed on your feet with one of the most knowledgeable surfers of all the Tahitian Islands.
