Discover canyoning in the Papenoo valley with this accessible excursion to the Vaipurau canyon in Tahiti!

Canyoning is an outdoor sport that requires you to progress and overcome obstacles, which may involve walking on varied terrain, swimming in calm or white water, jumping, sliding, abseiling and other rope techniques. With this beginners' canyoning activity available from the age of 12, you can discover this sport in complete safety in the Vaipurau canyon!

The Vaipurau river canyon is located in the north of the island of Tahiti and combines all the obstacles of canyoning with sublime views of Tahiti's 2 highest peaks: (Orohena & Pito Iti). Wild landscapes devoid of any trace of civilisation await you!

The course includes abseils of up to 37 metres, circumventable jumps of up to 7 metres and numerous natural slides. With the help of your professional, experienced instructor, you'll be able to tackle these obstacles with complete peace of mind. Their support and advice will be invaluable for your first canyoning experience in the Vaipurau canyon. However, once you feel confident, you'll have a fun experience that you'll no doubt want to repeat very soon!
