The Vaima source is located 11.7 km from Villa ManaOra, and legend has it that this inexhaustible source draws its energy and strength from the royal eel of Lake Vaihiria, Faaravaianuu, which purifies the water arriving at the source. This clear and invigorating water would be a source of healing. Before, it was coveted for its benefits. Today, the Vaima spring is a place where families or friends meet for a moment of freshness in the clear water of the spring. It is a peaceful place where eels and bathers mix naturally
PS: eels love bread and the little snack "Ô TUMU MAPE" under the trees on the other side of the road is very very good (open from Wednesday to Sunday)!

The site is also very popular for access to the beach and the river. To access the Teahupo'o wave, you have to cross a bridge that spans the mouth by advancing along a path between beach and houses. On this part of the island, it is a black sand beach.

Vaihiria Lake is the only natural lake in Tahiti. It was formed following the collapse of a large mass on the east side of the valley. Large blocks piled up on the west side. A natural dam was formed as a result, occupying the entire width of the valley over a length of approximately 800 meters. At the beginning of the 1980s, EDT ENGIE (Electricité de Tahiti), concessionaire for the supply and distribution of electricity in the territory, set up a major hydroelectricity program which transformed the natural water reservoir of the lake into a hydraulic dam. . The walls were covered with black plastic tarpaulins, penstocks and power stations were placed in the valley to house the turbines.
All along the valley, lush nature combining vegetation and amenities
The site of Lake Vaihiria is a place rich in very interesting stories and legends coming from the valley. To discover the valley of Lake Vaihiria, access is free, however it is preferable to go there with an activity provider to make the most of all that this site has to offer.
