Step into the slippers of a local as we snack our way around Moorea with your local guide. Tama'a means to eat in Tahitian and we will be doing just that as you and our taste buds will discover the best local spots.
During your food tour you will taste and visit authentic local finds that will offer unique flavors where locals like to eat. You will be taken off the beaten bath and discover local "snack shops" and road side fruit stands. The food in Tahiti consists of three cultures; Tahitian, Chinese, and French. On the Tama'a street food tour we will seek out hidden food gems from all three backgrounds.
Guest will experience 10-12 tastings, depending on season and availability. The tour will take between 4-5 hours.
We will also stop at some breathtaking sites, and get a little cultural history of the island. The tour stops in the main town of Maharepa.
Come join us for a unique Moorea experience with Tahiti Food Tours, and learn about the Moorea culinary scene.

5.00Fantastic introduction to Tahitian street food, including the cultural background and context for why and when different flavors arrived on the islands. Delicious selection of flavors and really good conversation! We stopped at 5 or so spots and tried a total of 15 bites/dishes. Really good time.
Learning Culture Through Cuisine

5.00Heimata is a Chef that is native to Moorea with an impressive conary resume and great knowledge of cuisine. We had tastings at some known and lesser-known restaurants and small snacks along the island. His extensive knowledge of the history of the island and origins of the off thev beaten path dishes was the highlight. I am not a foodie and ate some dishes i would never consider on a menu that i thoroughly enjoyed. I used this tour to gain insight into its history and culture of the island and it nailed it. Don't sleep on this tour!

3.00Nice experience, except that it was indicated small group (8) and we ended up at 14 so two vehicles. The guide very friendly but spoke much more American (most of his clientele) than French..
Great for a rainy day!

5.00What an incredible tour on a rainy day!! Hopping around (in a large dry A/C van) to some of the best local spots was the best thing to do on the rainiest day our trip. The guide is very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. Thank you!
Good food, great guide.

5.00Highly recommend this tour— doesn’t matter if you’ve been on the island for days or new arrivals. Good food, great education with Mareva, our guide. She’s very knowledgeable. We appreciated talking about everything from food, to politics, to French culture (island and European) and ecology. It ended up being a rainy day and perfect for this.

5.00Wow! What a great opportunity to taste different kinds of food and get local insight from someone born and raised on the island. We started the tour at the Moorea port and then had tastings are 4 different snack stores. Always interesting to learn about a different way of life and a unique relationship that a group of people have with food.
Everything in one day and it was amazing.

5.00Great food tour! This was a great way to experience Moorea in one day and meet new people. The owner was an amazing and delightful guide with close relations to the food scene and vendors. I’ve already recommended this trip to another person who is coming in December and they are thrilled as well.
Best Tour!

5.00My husband and I had such a wonderful time on this food tour in Moorea! Heimata was incredibly informative and a joy to talk to. He shared so much about the island’s history, culture, and local ingredients, making every stop feel meaningful and authentic. I especially loved learning the different cultures that influenced each dish. The food itself was absolutely delicious, from fresh local fruits to traditional local dishes and each tasting gave a real sense of Moorea’s flavors and community. What made it extra special was Heimata’s warmth and passion, he made everyone feel welcome and connected, like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a guide. I think everyone needs do this if they are visiting Mo’orea!
