My husband and I and another couple had one day in Tahiti after a cruise, and decided to book this tour - it was a fantastic day in touring the whole island. Our guide, Eric, was great! He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and shared many interesting facts and legends. The van was comfortable and we loved having a private tour. We definitely recommend this one. It was a great last day for us.
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! 🌺 Thank you for recommending us. We truly hope you’ll return to Tahiti one day for another memorable adventure. Mauruuru roa and safe travels!
Nice way to see all of Tahiti. You get to see a lot of the beauty of the island that you do not see in Faa'a or Papeete. Waterfalls, gardens and black sand beaches.

Angela was indeed an angel with no wings. She is very lovely. Lots of information, trivia and stories that made the 4 hour travel a breeze and fun. The vehicle was a van, comfortable with ac. The tour was packed and we felt was just the perfect duration. Any longer would have ruined it for us and the kids. Lots of suggestions by Angela about local food and places to visit. Definitely a must if you are visiting Tahiti. Again, many thanks to the team for making us experience Tahiti in 4 hours. Māuruuru!
Edouard was a wonderful guide. He knows Tahiti well and shares his knowledge very enthusiastically. He showed us much of the flora with detailed descriptions. We stopped to eat freshly cooked breadfruit and water chestnuts. The tour was so complete that we went an extra hour. We would highly recommended Edouard tour guide.. Natalia was also very easy to work with and flexible with scheduling.
