5.00We were picked up at our hotel which was super convenient. We loved the small group setting(there were 6 of us but the tour accumulated no more than 8) Eric, our guide, was super informative about the history and sites. It was the perfect amount of time at each site with spending a little bit more time at the falls and less time at the Marae Temple. In fact, we made a full circle around the island with stops for photo opportunities. This was a perfect 1/2 day easy tour as it didn’t take up our whole day. Many thanks to Eric for the very informative tour!

5.00We only had 7 h stay in Tahiti. It was the best tour for that. We have learned an awful lot about history, geography, nature and the people of French Polynesia like never before.
Perfect Afternoon tour

5.00We had a wonderful tour yesterday. Edouard was an excellent guide and went above and beyond, and gave us plenty of time at each stop, fed us breadfruit and suggested a great place for us to eat in the evening. Sunset from Venus point was the best we've had in our short stay on Tahiti.
A good way to see a few...

4.00A good way to see a few sights on Tahiti with a limited amount of time. It would have been great to have a little longer at stops and maybe some more opportunities to take photos of the coast/mountains but we realise time was limited. Would have liked a little more history or about the islands/country. Angele was a real character, kind with a good sense of humour.
Great easy tour of Tahiti

5.00Natalia was a great host. She picked us up at our hotel and then drove us around in a comfy air conditioned van. We had 5 scheduled stops with great views during the drive in between. It was a nice way to spend some time between checking out of our hotel and our flight home later that night
