5.00Very nice day. Beautiful scenery, impressive road, interesting exchanges with Karl our guide who wants to share his culture and knowledge about the country. Cherry on the cake, songs with ukulele.
Best way to see interior of Tahiti

4.00Overall this was a good experience that allowed us to see the awesome interior of the island. I took this excursion with my wife during our honeymoon and we traveled with a German & French couple who were very friendly (we are Americans). The only downsides to the tour were it was very bumpy (which we didn’t mind, but my wife bumped her head a couple times). Additionally the guide seemed to care too much about my opinion on how the tour was going and didn’t learn anyone else’s names - I’m assuming working for the “American tip”?. Lastly the tour lasted 1 hour beyond when it should’ve ended and our German friends almost missed their dinner reservation because of this. Overall it was a good time and I’d recommend, just wear river shoes, a swimsuit and a rash guard.
Great day!!

5.00Exceptional day in the heart of the island with Loana. Loana is a person with a heart on her hand, caring and who shares her culture and knowledge of her island with passion! The ride is superb with several explanatory stops and photos. Really a great memory, you can go there with your eyes closed, it is a must on Tahiti. Thanks again Loana!
Thank you Loana

5.00An unforgettable experience in the heart of Tahiti! If you come to Tahiti, this 4x4 excursion is simply unmissable! Our guide, Loana, was absolutely exceptional. A deeply human and passionate woman who shares the secrets of the island with incredible generosity and manages to transmit this passion at every moment. Thanks to it, we discovered breathtaking landscapes; valleys, majestic waterfalls, and sublime viewpoints. His humor, kindness and knowledge of the valley make the excursion even more memorable. Māuruuru Loana for this magical day! This excursion is an experience to live absolutely.

5.00What an amazing adventure due in large part to our guide, Noah. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, especially about plants. He harvested native fruits at pur road side stops and brought prepared ones, too. The magic fruit truly was magical! It was long day, but to actually be on the mountains instead of looking at them was quite an experience.
Best adventure!

5.00It was an amazing adventure! Noa was an exceptional driver and guide. He truly loved sharing his knowledge and history of the island. It’s a 4 wheel drive 8 hour experience on non paved roads. You can sit or stand in the open jeep. We loved it!

5.00Awesome experience to see a side (or inside) of Tahiti not easily accessible to most and not often seen! We had Noah as our guide and driver and he was full of local information, fun facts and jokes! He felt like part of the family and we all had such a great time.
