Car hire is essential for those who want to travel this volcanic island’s natural beauty which inspired James Michener’s novel ‘Bali Hai’. While its beaches offer a range of water activities such as snorkelling, its interior has hidden treasures such as waterfalls and fragrant flowers such as hibiscus and pink laurel. This fertile island’s home to many coconut groves as well as pineapple, vanilla and grapefruit plantations.

Roads from Haapiti in your car hire are easy to navigate, however it may be worth purchasing a guidebook or map if you plan to travel the island’s interiors. Much of the coastline and many villages can be accessed by paved tracks.

One of the island’s best views can be found by driving in your car hire vehicle to Belvedere Lookout. It provides stunning views across Cook’s Bay and Oponohu Bay. There are old ruins that you can tour there as well as a refreshment stand.

While exploring, consider a visit to nearby Tiki Theatre Village in the evening. Several times a week, they offer a traditional Tahitian tamaaraa, a feast cooked over a pit of hot volcanic stones. Following dinner, enjoy an evening’s entertainment which includes traditional songs and dances.
