Itinerary

Admission included30 min

We will start our tour at 09:00am from your respective hotel with our first stop to an archaelogical site: some of the most mystical locales in Tahiti are on land: the stone marae (temples) that the ancient Polynesians held sacred. The best way to understand the ancient Polynesian culture is to visit a marae, Today, most marae are just piles of stones, but before the arrival of Europeans in the 18th century, they were the center for social, political and religious activity-including human sacrifice. Our tour guide will take you around this sacred place

30 min

After the Arahurahu marae around 10:10am we will visit the Maraa Grotto: we will walk through a rainforest with impossibly lush freshwater pools, small caves and the dripping grotto itself, ringed by ferns, which Paul Gauguin mentioned in his letters. (easy terrain)

30 min

EXCELLENT tour with Antoinette!

We travel a lot, and we book a lot of tours, most often they are private customizable tours. Seldom do I give five stars, but this driver with this company and the wonderful day she provided is well deserving of the highest rating possible. The owner/boss, Fabrice, was quick to respond to all communications and answered questions when asked. Antoinette met us at the pier, just as promised. What an amazing woman. She took us to ancient burial sites and beautiful botanical gardens. We fed fish and eels and viewed a beautiful small waterfall and grotto. We went to Teahupo'o, a super tall waterfall and to Point Venus. We had plenty of time for shopping and even a quick pull-off to grab some chocolate. She shared the history of the island and the people and even information about her family. Antoinette is the real deal and knows her stuff; she is a walking history book. But, she has a witty sense of humor that can keep you laughing for hours. I hope you have as much fun as we did!

Tahiti private tour

Absolutely one of the best tours we’ve taken! Fabrice, the owner/operator, picked us up at the port and drove us around the big and small islands seeing all the sites. From gardens, waterfalls, a grotto, mountain lookouts and the area where the summer Olympic surfing took place and so much more. We stopped at a diamond in the rough, tucked away overlooking the surf, to have lunch. Amazing! HIGHLY recommend this tour and a great value

Operator response

Thank you so much, Greg, for your fantastic review! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed touring the island with me. Wishing you and Michelle a wonderful remainder of your cruise on Princess Cruise! Mauruuru. Fabrice

Superb tour company

We did a full day tour of the island of Tahiti. Our guide was Antoinette. Not only was she very knowledgeable, she was also very kind! She took us to many beautiful locations that we might’ve missed if we had toured the island on our own! One highlight for us was seeing the location of the Olympic surfing event. I highly recommend this tour! It’s worth it!

Operator response

Thank you so much Gary and Beatriz for taking the time to leave us a review. Mauruuru roa
