Lake Vaihiria
Discover Lake Vaihiria on a guided interior outing from Mataiea or across the island, where a natural mountain lake also reveals Tahiti’s hydroelectric landscape.
Vaihiria combines a dramatic origin story with visible modern intervention. A landslide created the natural basin, later adapted for hydroelectric use. The surrounding valley carries legends and lush vegetation as well as engineered works. A guided visit helps distinguish those layers and puts the lake in the wider mountain landscape.
