5.00Fantastic way to get into the island of Moorea. From zipping up the main road to jungle pathways we immersed ourselves in the countryside. The ATV guide was knowledgeable and friendly looked out for all his trekkers. Highly recommended

3.00Most of this trip was riding in the boat to visit a pearl farm. The pearl farm was interesting, but felt more like a shopping expedition. The trip up the River was beautiful, but could have been made much better with commentary. The tour was to be limited to 12 but when two boats travel everywhere together there are 24 passengers causing a bit of a crowd at the Pearl farm.
Boat ride with pearl factory was ok.

3.00The boat ride was good and the visit to pearl factory was good, but it would have been nice to have a tour guide that actually gave us information about the country and local area. We received no information at all while on the tour.
