Fantastic ATV tour around Ta'haa visiting the main attractions on the island being the Rum distillery, pearl farm and vanilla farm. Very instructive teach-ins at each venue are a good way to broaden your knowledge of the island's important exports. Around 85% of the tour is on road but the off road element is both exciting and challenging with stunning views of the island from the high points. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this tour.

From the moment we stepped off the boat from our resort, we were greeted by the warm smiles of Joel and Marcel, with the quads waiting and ready for adventure. The entire day was flawless—our hosts were not only enthusiastic but also passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of their home island. Riding the quads was an absolute highlight; they’re easy to use even if you’re a beginner, and nothing compares to the freedom of feeling the breeze and soaking in the stunning views—so much better than sitting in the back of a truck! The experience went beyond just fun—it was also fascinating. Learning about Tahaa’s pearls and vanilla was eye-opening, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation for the island’s traditions. We couldn’t recommend Tahaa Earth & Sea more highly. It was an unforgettable day of adventure, discovery, and joy, and sharing it with my wife made it even more special. Truly one of the best days of our trip!

Our ATV experience on the beautiful island of Taha’a led by the kind and knowledgeable guide Joel and his partner was nothing short of extraordinary. We had a private tour of the island, stopping at the rum distillery, a gorgeous pearl farm, a vanilla plantation, and to the highest point of the island where we could see and feel the beauty of this magical place. We felt safe and relaxed, and learned a great deal about the cultivation of the black pearls, the care it takes to grow and harvest vanilla, and the way the people care for their culture, land and sea. Thank you for sharing your island and kindness with us!

This tour was everything we wanted and more. Our guide Joel is exactly the type of person you want to lead you on this adventure. Joel is kind, fun, upbeat, knowledgeable, and an overall great person. He will make sure you get to see all the Island has to offer. On our tour we signed up for the group trip but it wound up being private. Joel took us to the rum distillery, the vanilla plantation, a pearl farm, and an excursion up into the mountains. At each location we were greeted by a host to show us around each activity. We learned so much at each location and were able to buy all the souvenirs we were looking for. My wife felt very safe and had a wonderful time. Joel was courteous and a great guide. Would recommend anytime.

The tour was one of the highlights of our trip in French Polynesia. After short stops in a rum distillery, pearl farm and vanilla plantation, we did an amazing off-road tour in the mountain jungle ending in a wonderful lookout between pineapple fields and papaya trees. Our guides were very friendly, helpful and wanted to make this experience as personalized and memorable as possible for us. Very highly recommended!
