Additional Information

The Mysterious House Raiatea welcomes you to embark on an enlightening journey across over 20 peculiar workshops that will challenge your perception. Drawing inspiration from the legendary ‘Gravity Hills’, where the lack of a visible horizon creates the illusion of observing an uphill road, which is in fact, downward sloping.
Take an example of some of the workshops we’ve got:

  • La Boussole Folle: A magnetic compass unable to maintain its bearings!
  • Foucault’s Pendulum: A pendulum that comes to a halt on its own!
  • The Infinite Arrow: An arrow that remains pointed in one direction at all times!
  • The Reverse Slope: Witness water or a ping pong ball ascend a slope!

Meet our top-tier guide, also the mastermind behind the project. Gérard, a fervent enthusiast of optical illusions and unexplained phenomena, will navigate you across a carousel of illusions, altering your perspective eternally. With his pleasant demeanor and eagerness to share his unusual vision, Gérard ensures you have an unforgettable experience.

The Mystery House is located just near the Adult Training Center in Faaroa, up the hill. Park right in front of the garden.

Funny, confusing and very friendly - It's a change from what you can find in the offers in Polynesia. We were with family and the children loved it too! Gérard, who gives us the tour, is very funny and puts his whole heart into it :-) I won't say more to leave you with all the surprises, go ahead!!!
