5.00The cooking class was so much fun! We learned a lot about the history of Polynesia, its traditions, and habits. We also had a chance to learn a lot about the plants, fruits, and vegetables while seeing them in the garden. We cooked delicious dishes and met nice people while doing it. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. A highly recommended activity in Moorea!
Great experience learning about traditional Tahitian cooking.

5.00We were on a cruise and this was an excursion offered by the ship. We didn’t know what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our trip. It was so much fun to learn about traditional Tahitian cooking, then help with preparation, and, best of all, have a communal meal to enjoy it all. Stevenson and Audrey were so welcoming, and did such a good job of involving us all.
Great hands on experience to learn about Polynesian food and culture
