So Much More Than Scenery and Shopping!
I can not recommend this tour highly enough. It was as if a member of your family was sharing their favourite parts of Moorea with you as well as introducing you to many of the flora and fauna and experiences unique to this beautiful island.The blue lady shared her love and knowledge of her home island in an interesting natural and engaging way. Her selections of experiences were all on point from a local stall featuring fruit and drinks, pearl shopping in a village to sampling in a distillery. My favourite stop was the agricultural college shop up Mt Belvedere. I felt happy to be supporting the students by purchasing delicious local sorbet, scented oils and soaps. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour.We met as strangers and left as friends. Merci beaucoup Helen Espie

Best tour of Moore
Wonderful guide , very passionate and knowledgeable about her island. We booked a half day tour and Spirou showed us some beautiful sites. By far one of the best tours we have had in recent years. If you ever go to Moorea, do yourself a favour and book with her. Very clean comfortable vehicle and she knows the sites to see.
Many Thanks Spirou for a wonderful tour on your beautiful island.

Outstanding Tour by a Wonderful Guide
What an outstanding tour by a Wonderful person. Spirou met us at the ferry terminal a big sign with our name and a bigger smile. We had booked the whole island tour. She asked what we wanted to do and see. Spirou knows her island and all the great places to see. We have taken a lot of tours over our years of travel, by far this was the BEST.

Personable and Knowledgeable tour guide
Spirou exceeded our expectations in giving us a really comprehensive tour of Moorea, stopping at all the magical points of the island, telling us a lot of history of the French Polynesia, helping us with purchasing beautiful pearl jewelry. So glad I found her. She provided her personal touch to our tour and her love for Moorea was unmistakable.

A Love of Moorea
What better way to tell you, in this store case, I knew, well informed, find the pearl! Yes to make a nice gift. But what could be better on this island to visit; a rare bird, nicknamed Spirou (lady in blue ), takes you in his van to the detours and tours of the island's most beautiful sites . So I was able to discover: the magic mountain , tropical garden , tiki village , the bays of Cook and opunohu and its panorama (where you drink coconut ) and I forget some . The fruit juice factory and its cellar of good old rums , the shrimp farming and further its agricultural school; no I lost none of this journey masterfully led by this little piece of woman . You can feel it's in his skin, this job, rather, PASSION for his island! I thank you for the day I met you on this Paopao dock. Mauruuru!
