Great tour and amazing guide. Nice and newer van, very comfortable. We saw waterfalls, black & white sand beaches and native ceremonial grounds.
We had a wonderful tour of beautiful sites led by our tour guide,”Ray”. He shared a wealth of information with us about Tahiti and its history. Also he was very friendly and helpful to his tour group. Thanks for making this a special tour! Dennis & Jo
Great tour. Full tour of the whole island. Black sand beaches , waterfalls. The guide was very knowledgeable and pickup went smoothly. I had only a full day in Tahiti and this tour was perfect to maximize the time I had
Great tour of the Island. Comfortable vehicle, great stops, our guide was excellent. Good communication prior to tour despite us only booking the day before. They also rearranged our pick up even though our hotel wasn't listed. Highly Recommend Tahiti Eden & their tours
This is a comprehensive tour of the large island, Tahiti Nui. Antoinette gave a thorough explanation of everything. It was well organised and included snacks of bread sticks and fruit.
Mauruuru so much Sharn
Booked an afternoon half-day tour in late June. Even though we were staying at a hotel on the pickup route, my wife and I wanted to spend that morning exploring Papeete. It was easy to negotiate a pickup at the ferry dock (prompt responses here on viator), and they sent us clear instructions for where to meet. Vetea picked us up, and was an immediately delightful guide, answering our many questions with energy and thoughtfulness. He maintained a great schedule, and at every stop gave the group time to walk around and take in the wonders. He bought us fruit from local vendors for us to try (with bonbon chinois!), and was quick to offer to take our photo at all of the attractions on the route. He even got us to Point Venus just in time to watch the sun set. The other selected stops on the tour, including the beaches, waterfall, and ruins, were rich with history and culture - very worth seeing. This was our second day in FP, so the tour and Vetea's guidance setting a perfect tone for the rest of our honeymoon is so special to us. Mauruuru roa!
Thank you so much Carlos for this wonderful review and for sharing such kind words about your afternoon tour with us. We’re truly delighted that Vetea made your experience so special, from the flexible ferry dock pickup to the thoughtful stops and that perfect sunset at Point Venus. It means a lot to know that your second day in French Polynesia set such a beautiful tone for the rest of your honeymoon, mauruuru roa, and we hope to welcome you back one day!
Our guide Ray was exceptional. He was in an encyclopedia of information about Tahiti and was one of the best tour guides that we’ve ever had. We felt so fortunate to have such an informative and passionate guide.
Thank you so much, John! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with Raiarii, one of our new guides. Thank you for choosing Tahiti Eden Tours and for sharing your feedback.
Had a great time with our guide! I forgot his name but it started with a V. He stopped at the off road local shops so we could try snacks!
Mauruuru ora Makayla, we’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Vetea. Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback
It was a great island tour. We went to many interesting places and our guide, Vetea, was very knowledgeable and answered all questions.
Thank you Tamara for the wonderful feedback! We’re so happy you had a great day discovering the island with Vetea. Safe travels and hope to see you again in Tahiti!
I was lucky to have Vetea as my guide who was extremely knowlegeable, inciteful, helpful and courteous. It is clear he has a passion for learning and sharing his knowledge. He also took an interest in all of us on the tour with visitors from Australia, Italy and Scotland. The coastal views of the island are stunning and you get a taster of the lushness of the interior. The waterfalls were impressive and it was interesting to be refreshed on the history of The Mutiny on the Bounty. To cap it all, we had a spectacular sunset at Point Venus, our last stop on the trip. Thankyou Vetea for a fabulous tour.
We’re delighted you enjoyed your tour with Vetea. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience , it means a lot to our team! Mauruuru roa
