What To Expect
Maraa Grotto
Step into a lush, fern-draped sanctuary where crystal-clear freshwater pools hide beneath a towering basalt arch. This hidden gem offers a serene atmosphere once frequented by Paul Gauguin. Our expert guides share the "optical illusion" secrets of the caves—where the depths appear shallower than they truly are—ensuring your brief visit is packed with history, photography opportunities, and the pure Mana of French Polynesia. A favorite stop for the locals who are often swimming here in the cave
The Water Gardens of Vaipahi
Explore a vibrant sanctuary of rare tropical flora, where exotic orchids, giant ferns, and ancient hardwoods create a lush canopy of color. The centerpiece of your visit is the Vaipahi Waterfall, a majestic cascade that feeds tranquil, lily-studded ponds and creates a cooling micro-climate. Wander the winding paths through this botanical paradise to witness the raw beauty of Tahiti’s native plant species and the serene power of its falling waters—a true highlight for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Best in Tahiti!!!

5.00Tracey & her team are the absolute best! Great communication from first contact, highly professional, comfortable Mercedes vans with great AC. They have personal relationships with pearl dealers, wood carvers, fabric makers & provide great opportunities for authentic souvenirs. They know the island inside & out. I highly recommend a visit to the now famous surf spot where the Olympics were held with them. Best experience we had while here in Tahiti! We like it so much, we have booked tours with them every year we come!

Great Tahiti West coast adventure

5.00We just had a marvelous and memorable tour of the west coast of Tahiti with our driver Dominic. He arrive right on time and immediately made us comfortable. He grew up and lives on the west coast, so he was incredibly informative about the environment, the flora, history (Polynesian in particular), economic and social matters. We learned so much about this interesting community and how it fits within the French territories. This was 4 hours well spent with an articulate local expert. Tracey who managed the reservation was an outstanding communicator. They are both highly recommended.
Excellent Presentation of the local Culture and History

5.00We chose a half-day tour of Tahiti and Mihi was our fabulous guide. We made several stops along the way to learn about traditions, history, culture and what is produced on the island. Our guide gave us a thorough and in-depth presentation of the island that she loves. Highly recommend.
The perfect tour to learn and experience Tahiti

5.00We were so fortunate to have Tracey, the owner of the company, as our guide—and she was truly amazing! Tracey is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, with a warm, kind personality and a wonderful sense of humor. My wife and I enjoyed every single moment we spent with her. During the tour, we visited incredible sites along both the east and west coasts. Tracey not only shared the fascinating history of this beautiful island but also gave us insight into its current culture and way of life. This was an unforgettable experience, and we honestly could not have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable day. We highly recommend Tracey and Unique Tahiti Tour!
Awesome tour!

Private Paradise: Exploring Tahiti with a Local Touch

5.00My wife and I were in Tahiti for part of our honeymoon. We did a full-day private tour with Tracy, who was incredible! It felt like we were spending the day with a friend. There was a great balance of interesting information, personal stories, casual conversation, and time for my wife and me to do some exploring alone. We captured a ton of photos that we will cherish forever.
Unforgettable

5.00Tracey was fantastic. Booking A+, Communication A+, Pick up A+, Informational A+, Funny A+. Tracey seemed to know every one on the island whether they were on the roadside selling fish, sales people at the coconut oil shop or dads with their kids playing in the park. She had a story and thoughts on every subject that was enlightening and entertaining. Tracey was incredibly flexible as we did a private tour with 2 couples. She enjoyed answering all of our curiosities and showing us her home. After the tour she sent us follow up emails with names and numbers of additional guides and we took an amazing tour to the interior of the island to climb through and explore the lava tubes with our new friend Mato! She made out time in Tahiti unforgettable! Thanks a ton Tracey

5.00We had a great tour with our tour guide-Raiarii. Raiarii customized our all-day tour for us enabling us to see the entire island. It included cultural, site seeing, and botanical stops. We also had a great lunch stop on the beach overlooking the beautiful Polynesian water. We even managed some incredible whale watching. We highly recommend "Tour Tahiti in Private" and Raiarii as a personal guide

5.00We have been traveling the world with our kids for 9 months. We have done many tours during that time, and it was everyone’s opinion that this was the best one! Tracey is so knowledgeable and is happy to share everything about the places and culture of this island. She is so nice, and kid friendly. We went to a variety of places and had the right balance between adult and kid activities. Highly recommended!
