Outstanding 5 hour tour

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.
Fantastic Tour!

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!

5.00I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our day with Max, our guide for our half day tour of Tahiti. He met us at the ferry terminal and took us on a wonderful half day tour around the island. His knowledge about the history, geology, geography and current and past events regarding French Polynesia was astounding. The stops we made at waterfalls, botanical gardens and other wonderful vistas were a perfect compliment. When the tour was done he dropped us off at the airport in time for our evening flight. I would highly recommend this tour for any one wanting a comprehensive tour of Tahiti.
