Discover Tahiti on a tour around the island by coach. The Private Circle Island Tour of Tahiti stops at points of interest both scenic and historic. Begin on the East Coast of the island, stopping at Point Venus, the landing site for European discoverers and evangelists. At P.K. 22, in Tiara, you will have fun watching the Arahoho Blowhole, where the sea is pressed into an old lava tube, then explodes in a sudden noisy spray. You will then cross the isthmus of Taravao where the big island is joined to its peninsula, and arrive at the Paul Gauguin Museum, a remarkable memorial to the late French artist, an open book on this great artist's life and works (Open Daily 9.00am to 5.00pm). Enjoy lunch at the Gauguin Museum Restaurant before or after visiting the museum and garden. Then continue on by the West Coast, with a stop at the Maraa Grotto, where overhead springs drip through a ceiling of ferns into a cool, romantic cave formed by the sea. Giant elephant ear plants and 'taro' grace the entrance. Discover The Flower Garden of Mataoa, a garden and greenhouse of tropical flowers including the colorful Bird of Paradise, Anthuriums, Orchids, and Vanilla plants. Also on the grounds is a pineapple plantation and various other plants. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands (closed Monday); set in a lagoon side coconut grove with a gorgeous view of Moorea, this museum is one of the best museums in the South Pacific. Discover the Polynesian history, culture, environment, and ethnology (Open Tuesday � Sunday 9.30am to 5.30pm, closed on Mondays).
