Tahiti · Where to watch

Where to watch: Teahupoʻo

View Teahupoʻo from established public viewpoints and obey closures, barriers and local authorities.

Give the ocean room

Large swells can send water far beyond the normal shoreline. Stay well back from cliff edges, harbour walls, rocks and low coastal roads.
