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!

Super fun and tasty tour of local food options in Papa’ete with local guide, Orama. Rest assured you will be well-fed plus delighted to learn about traditional snacks and dishes. Orama was a kind and patient hostess and answered all our questions. This tour was easily navigated by all of us and we had plenty of rest stops. Highly recommend!
Great way to taste delicious local food, hear great stories, and experience Papeete like a local totally unique experience
It was an amazing experience. Very detailed and informative.
A must to well understand and appreciate the local cuisine. Excellent starting point for discovering Papeete.
Noah was amazing! It was so fun to visit local hotspots and experience the local eats of Tahiti. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. We had the best time with her and our group. I would highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Papeete.
This tour is beautiful introduction to the food of Papeete and by extension the culture of Tahiti. Orama made us comfortable from the first minute and when the tour ended we felt we were saying good bye to a friend. She answered our hundreds of questions, ensured we were all comfortable with the food we were eating and planned out a great menu having us eat at restaurants, snack bars, the market, and visiting a few shops along the way. Do we recommend this tour? Emphatically!
This tour was an excellent introduction to Tahitian food and culture. Through the morning we sampled about a dozen different dishes including fish in coconut milk, which was amazing, local fruits, and coconut bread. In addition we toured the local market which is worth a separate visit. Our guide, Nona, was very organized and friendly. This was a don’t miss experience.
Great food tour. Tried local food, toured the market, and learned more about Tahiti. Recommend this tour.
We had a fantastic day with our tour guide Noah. She really showed her love for the culture and made us feel like family by the end of the tour. I thought it was a beautiful blend of food tasting and learning about the culture of Tahiti (including the other islands). I would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for a good time enjoying the island with all five senses.
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.
