5.00Maui is very knowledgeable, speaks great English and passionate about the island of Tahiti. We had huge rains, that closed many of the roads. Maui was very accommodating and quick to make alterations to our island tour, so we were able to see beautiful Tahiti.
Great island trip!

5.00Great tour. Saw all the island and Māowi our guide was a lovely guy and gave us lots of interesting information. We were on a cruise as d booked this independently and so glad we did as none of the cruise excursions went all the way round the island. Beautiful island we so much to see. Would highly recommend. Picked up and dropped off at the cruise terminal and was so easy to locate guide. Also took into consideration my somewhat limited mobility due to needing a joint replacement! Excellent trip!

5.00Originally we were going to rent a car and circle the island but, boy are we glad we didn't. Maui, our guide showed us things we never would have found by ourselves. He was so wonderful --highly thoughtful and warm. He made it more of a cultural experience and not merely a sightseeing tour by his conversation and pacing. He also brought plentiful cold fruit and water to keep us refreshed. Another factor that was good was the great communication from the tour provider, Arthur. He made great suggestions for our tour timing that cut down on crowds. Love, love this tour.
Great Day!

5.00A great experience! From the WhatsApp reservation to the prompt on time start. Our driver and guide Maui was so knowledgeable and personable, he adjusted the tour to our requirements and interests. He is so very pleasant and obviously enjoys sharing his love of the islands. A well spent morning. We wish all our guides were like Maui very highly recommended by our entire group.

5.00Artur our tour guide was exceptional and the tour was very well done. Our van was clean, comfortable and most importantly, air conditioned! Artur was very informative about the Polynesian culture and he loved showing us his lovely island of Tahiti. Along with fresh water and hand towels he even provided us with a range of fresh fruits to snack on during our tour. Top shelf tour. Highly recommended!

5.00Artur of [email protected] provided the single best tour experience we have had on our Silverseas voyage— excellent English— whole tour was thoughtful, historically fascinating and complemented with an on board selection of fresh mangos, pineapples and grapefruit— topped off by fresh coconut milk— if 6 stars were available I would select them —
