Tahiti land tour

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the East and West Tour of Tahiti with Antoinette! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing the beauty, culture, and history of Tahiti with us. The tour was beautifully organised, and Antoinette made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. She took us to some breathtaking locations and shared fascinating stories and local insights along the way. Her warm personality and attention to detail really made the day special. If you’re visiting Tahiti, I highly recommend booking the East and West Tour with Antoinette. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Antoinette, for such a fantastic day! 🌺🌴☀️

Decent tour that provides overview of island beyond Papeete

This tour delivered what it promised - I wanted one tour that showed both the east & west side of the island and didn’t take up 8 hours. I enjoyed the stops: the 2 waterfalls, the grotto & botanical garden including seeing the eel. But, there was a lot of time in the van, which wasn’t very comfortable, and the stops at the sites were brief. I also was extremely disappointed & bored when, at the ruins site, the tour guide just read to us & pointed to pictures in a book. I thought “You’ve got to be kidding, are we going to have 5 hours of this?” The rest of the stops were better though. Also I felt like she derided me for asking a question not once but two different times! She responded “I already talked about that” but clearly there was confusion or perhaps a language barrier, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked the questions. For someone in a multilingual tourism role to act like that was surprising. I was not surprised though, later in the tour when she asked if anyone had any questions, everyone remained silent (I actually I did have questions but there’s no way I’d ask them after the way she had previously responded! I figured I’d just Google them later). If what you’re looking for is a high level overview and circle island tour, and you go in with realistic expectations, this tour fits the bill. I just hope you get a different tour guide!

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share this honest review of your circle island tour. We are truly sorry the van was uncomfortable, the stops felt brief, and the commentary at the ruins was limited to reading from a book.We will address this directly with the guide and tighten our briefing so guests feel welcomed, heard, and properly informed.

Tahiti island

This was a great trip to learn about Tahiti - past and present. Our tour guide was Antionette and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this tour. I liked that we were a small group.

Knowledge, Passion and Love

Brian and I can highly recommend the 5 Hours Tahiti Island Tour- West and East as we were only here for 2days this tour saved us alot of time and worry. Our guide Antoinette's knowledge, passion and Love for Tahiti does Tahiti Eden Tours and Tahiti Tourism a great service.

Antoinette is wonderful!

We had a wonderful tour of the island with Antoinette back in July. She is exceptional in every way - her knowledge, joy, and pride in her country is evident in every stop. Her joie de vivre, energy and friendliness made for one of the best tours we have ever experienced. We especially enjoyed our stop at the botanical gardens where her respect for the Tahiti's flora and fauna was on great display. She was very patient with my rusty French and encouraged me to practice more. She switched between English and French with great ease. We highly recommend Eden Tours and if you are lucky enough to get Antoinette, we know you will enjoy every minute!

Very enriching

Antoinette, our guide, was passionate about her island, and her expert explanations were very interesting, especially regarding the virtues of the plants/fruits encountered during our tour. She even stopped for us 3 times to let us taste local products that she kindly offered us.
