This was a very good experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island and shared a lot of interesting information about the island and the attractions we were taken to. Only thing is that we ran out of time to do the last attraction properly. The tour guide / driver did take us to drive past it but sadly we didn't get out to enjoy it, take it in, take pictures etc... as he had another tour scheduled immediately after ours. The tour company could do with allowing a bit more time between their two bookings, especially as our group a lot of elderly tourists who needed a bit longer to get in and out of the vehicle, walk around to enjoy the attractions, etc....

Our guide was informative, supplied cake, fruit & drinks. His driving was fast yet safe. Only seven passengers, very comfortable van.

We took the tour around the entire island of Tahiti with the fabulous driver and guide Angele (hope I got the spelling right), who has been doing this for 56 years (yes, really). She's obviously incredibly knowledgeable, and also really nice. Pickup was exactly on time, and we saw all the advertised spots on the tour, which were all fabulous. We saw so much of Tahiti in just 5 hours. Highly recommended.

Excellent trip around the whole island of Tahiti. Tamatea was a fantastic guide pointing out every aspect of the island including educating us on the fruits and plants and traditional remedies. The stops were interesting and we feel we have a much better understanding of life here and the culture. Highly recommend.

A high price for a scenic ride around the island and a few highlights. Lower expectations. Disappointing

Gives a full round trip of the island. Enough to get a feeling for the island with out going on too long.

Angle was a great guide! It was a very fun trip around the entire island of Tahiti. We had a small group, myself, my wife and two other women. Angel shared lots of information about the island and life on Tahiti as we drove. We made several stops but the best were the last two, Farumai Waterfall and Point Venus. Our arrival at Point Venus was timed perfectly to catch a beautiful sunset. Angel also made a couple impromptu stops so we could watch the surfers. On the way back Angel made restaurant recommendations, dropped a few people off at Roulettes close to their hotels and dropped us off where we were staying. All the people in the group were on the island for only a limited time, so this was a great way to get to know the flavor of Tahiti. Highly recommended the small group size!
