Must tour to get a taste of Tahiti

5.00Angela was indeed an angel with no wings. She is very lovely. Lots of information, trivia and stories that made the 4 hour travel a breeze and fun. The vehicle was a van, comfortable with ac. The tour was packed and we felt was just the perfect duration. Any longer would have ruined it for us and the kids. Lots of suggestions by Angela about local food and places to visit. Definitely a must if you are visiting Tahiti. Again, many thanks to the team for making us experience Tahiti in 4 hours. Māuruuru!

5.00Edouard was a wonderful guide. He knows Tahiti well and shares his knowledge very enthusiastically. He showed us much of the flora with detailed descriptions. We stopped to eat freshly cooked breadfruit and water chestnuts. The tour was so complete that we went an extra hour. We would highly recommended Edouard tour guide.. Natalia was also very easy to work with and flexible with scheduling.

5.00This is a great tour to see the exterior highlights of Tahiti. The tour will take you around the perimeter of the big island and you'll stop to enjoy the beauty of beaches, waterfalls, landmarks and vegetation. Our guide picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel...making the tour extremely convenient. The entire tour takes a solid 5 hours.

5.00The guide Ray was awesome explaining a lot about Tâhiti history even while driving to keep us well occupied. This was just perfect for us to be able to cover important places in just about 5 hours. They also accommodated to add a lunch stop for one hour for an additional fee which made it more convenient for our family and friends.
Very good

5.00Our tour guide, Max, was extremely knowledgeable, excelling in the history and legends of Tahiti and Polynesia. He gives a comprehensive cultural and scenic tour with several stops. One gets a good look at the entire island coast plus views into the interior valleys. His English is excellent, and he will gladly answer all of your questions. Max nicely tailored our private tour to cut down on some walking since my husband walks slowly with a cane. I would highly recommend this tour!

He pointed out interesting plants and rare birds. We learned about the explorers that came to the island. He took the time to take wonderful photos of us that we will treasure. We will recommend him to anyone visiting Tahiti. Thank you Max! Shawn, David, Warren, Bonnie, Ed & Carol
