What To Expect
Te Fare Iamanaha-Musee De Tahiti Et Des Iles
Also called Te Fare Iamanaha, it is ideal for learning the history of French Polynesia, from its settlement to the evolution of its customs and habits over time. Renovated in 2023, you enjoy a pleasant visit, with a large garden and sea views. (During the museum’s closing days, normally on Mondays and on days with a high influx of visitors due to cruise ship arrivals, the museum visit will be replaced by the archaeological site of Marae Arahurahu).
Maraa Grotto
Set amidst lush vegetation, the Mara'a site includes three natural caves carved into the rock. Permanently pouring water formed pools of fresh, clear water. Many vegetations (ferns, mosses) hang from the ceiling of each cave.

5.00Thierry picked us up at our hotel in a clean, air conditioned van. He would be a pleasure to spend time with even if he weren’t your tour guide. He did a great job of providing background information on Tahiti and answering our many questions. All of the sites we visited were worthwhile, and we were grateful to be able to take the tour in the morning.

1.00It was cancelled at last minute due to inadequate numbers, leaving me no time to book an alternative. Very disappointed when I was half way around the world.

A half-day round-island excursion on Tahiti, perfect for cruisers as a pre- or post-cruise experience.

5.00For travelers in Tahiti (Papeete) for a short time this introductory tour of the island is for you! After a hotel pickup in an air-conditioned van, you set off on a complete circle-island tour, with stops at various viewpoints, a grotto, a tropical garden and either a museum of Tahitian culture downtown, or a substitute site on Mondays when the museum is closed. You’ll learn something of the geography and history of the area along the way. Mary Jane was a great guide on this tour, very friendly and really interested in showing off her home. Highly recommended.
All the highlights of Tahiti Nui in airconditioned comfort with a great guide

5.00We had a wonderful small group tour (6 persons) of Tahiti in a brand new, airconditioned Hyundai mini-bus which covered all the highlights. Our lovely tour guide Elis was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with interesting historical and current information on the sites we visited. We strongly recommend this tour.
Very nice experience

1.00We had stayed an extra day just for the Tahiti tour. But just in the morning of the tour, I get an email saying that the tour was cancelled because they were insufficient people. Just 2 days earlier I had reached out to them and they had confirmed the pickup time and the tour.
