Papeete Food Tour
Description
I offer you a delicious culinary escapade in the image and taste of my love for Papeete, the city where I was born. An immersion in my life in Tahiti, the island where I was born and flourished as a Polynesian and citizen of the world. We will start with a typical breakfast, seated around our famous raw fish in coconut milk. Then, it is to the rhythm of all our tastings (minimum 10) that I will guide you through the city, its history and its flavors. I will show you the addresses that mark my daily life: from the famous Papeete market to the little hidden gems that are close to my heart. Throughout this morning together, we will explore and celebrate the vibrant culinary culture of Papeete, the flavors, stories and characters behind everything we will taste together. From local specialties, to snacks from my childhood, to modern street food, Papeete will not leave you hungry!

Such a great experience with my tour guide Noah! She was so kind and so knowledgeable and the food was delicious. I have never been more full in my life. Call me crazy, but I would definitely take another eight hour trip for those fish fritters and coconut bread.
We absolutely loved our food tour with Omara. Since this was our first time on a food tour we didn't know what to expect. It was a great way to learn about Tahitian/Polynesian culture through her love of food. We tried a wide variety of food & drink & snacks (loved the Georges). I would definitely recommend this tour. Don't eat before you go !!
My husband and I enjoyed taking this food tour on a not too hot and humid day. Our tour guide was prompt, friendly and respectful of people's time. She took us to many places to try a lot of Tahitian food. My husband LOVED how much tuna we had as it's his favorite! I would recommend arriving on an empty stomach as we had a lot of food throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
Great variety of fresh and fresh-made food. Personable and friendly local vibe.
Orange tour was fantastic, shes passionate about her food tour, so knowledgeable abd took us to try so many local foods. One did not feel rushed through the tour, all explained with admiration of her culture and country. Would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Orana, wish you every success as you certainly deserve it, lovely person inside and out.
Our guide Orama is awesome! Food is delicious! Everything is just perfect. To think I was hesitant is so funny
This was such a delightful experience. The food was great but in addition to the food our guide Noah talked about growing up here and local customs. She was wonderful and we enjoyed the whole experience. We highly recommend it.
Highly recommended. Tour guide was informative, personable, and took us to several places where we enjoy great food and learned much about the island. Would do it again.
This foodie walking tour was informative and tasty! Orama was so interesting and passionate about her country and the food available! A group of 4 and we have not one complaint!!
Food Tour accompanied by Noa who made us discover the specialties of her island. Lots of tastings, clear explanations, a very pleasant and attentive guide. Thank you for this experience.
