Why go

Faaroa provides a distinct inland-water experience within an island often approached from the lagoon. Moving slowly along the river allows you to notice its banks and enclosing valley, rather than simply crossing it by road. Confirm the launch, guide and water conditions separately; the mapped river point is not a verified boarding place.

What to look for

  • Vegetated river banks
  • Enclosing Faaroa Valley

Useful to know

  • Arrange a qualified local operator and confirm conditions and meeting place; the map point is not a public swimming entrance.
