Do Not Miss!! You will not be sorry!

Let me start by saying…Wow! If you want to learn about Tahitian history and see some amazing sights, this is a do not miss tour. Our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. We went around the entire island. We saw waterfalls, botanical gardens, white sand beaches, black sand beaches, caves, a lighthouse and ruins. We also got a delicious treat homemade by their family, it was so delightful and something I won’t forget.

The island of tahiti.

This was a tour of some spots on the island of Tahiti. It was a lot of driving and the sites were okay. It was interesting in our driver was very knowledgeable but I don't think it was enough to warrant the trip.

A wonderful tour.

In our 6 hours touring around the island, our guide explained the geography, culture, education and medical systems as well as the politics of a such a popular tourist destination in what many describe as Paradise. And he did it in equal measures in excellent English and French. We were very happy with our tour.
