Your private adventure
Who’s it for
Tahiti can be a great place to learn to surf and an even better place to take your surfing to the next level if you are ready. There are some playful waves for surfers just getting started and abundant waves for barrel hunters.
When to go
Tahiti’s southern coast (think: Teahupo’o) has a peak season from April to October, but this isn’t to say the off-season is flat. Generally speaking though, the North side will be more active in Winter, from November to March.

Sofitel Moorea
Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea sits on the edge of the crystal clear lagoon framed by jagged green mountains. Accessible via a short ferry ride from Papeete, positioned on the eastern side of Moorea, makes it the most convenient and one of the best off-Tahiti island experiences. The resort enjoys a secluded location on the picturesque white sand beach of Temae, the longest of the island, within a protected marine area. Boasting French style infused with Tahitian hospitality, the hotel’s two acclaimed restaurants provide an intimate and romantic setting with incredible panoramic views and live entertainment.
Vanira Lodge
Nestled into the mountainside with sweeping views of the sea, the Vanira Lodge is an intimate and unique lodge on Tahiti’s fabled Southern coast. A stay here puts you within quick striking distance of several world-class waves and is a perfect place to relax and reset after a memorable surf. With a pair of binoculars, you can even watch the waves breaking at Teahupo’o from certain parts of the property. The onsite restaurant serves up healthy food that is a delicious fusion of French and Tahitian cuisine.
