What To Expect
Vaiava Beach, at PK 18 on the west coast of Tahiti, is a beautiful white sandy beach bordered by a turquoise lagoon, with stunning views of Moorea. Very appreciated for its beauty and peaceful setting, it offers an experience where each photo becomes a real postcard. A must-see stop to fully enjoy the beauty of Tahiti.
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.

A disappointing start to our trip in French Polynesia.

2.00Sadly our guide William did not seem a good fit for this job. There were six of us and 3 rows. The middle row had a hard time hearing him and the back row could not hear him at all. We asked him to speak louder but he did not make a change. He did take us all around the island and gave us a chance to ask questions but it is useless to ask questions if you can’t hear the answers. We all were very disappointed and wonder if he is one of the regular guides. We cannot recommend this tour to anyone based on his involvement. He is a nice enough guy but not for this type of role. No enthusiasm or energy.
Great tour

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.

4.00This was worth doing as you get an idea about the island of Tahiti. We were a small group which made it easy. The guide explained a lot of things which made it an interesting trip.

1.00Horrible. Meeting time was 1pm Didn't show up!! and was completely unresponsive at 130pm when another tour company reached out she lied and told me she was trying to reach me. She was so rude Was not helpful and Basically their driver took off with their van Completely BS
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.
