Papeete - around the island

Our guide Edouard was a few minutes late to pick up our small group, as he had a morning tour, as well. He covered so much with us, especially cultural info re: Tahiti and Papeete. We drove the entire coastline of the island and saw waterfalls, caves / grottos, ma'rae (sacred areas), beaches, the lighthouse outside Papeete. He's well versed, answering all our questions. He's a very good driver! Fun afternoon, very nice group of people

A Great Tour Despite The Rain

Fabrice has a lot of infomative details on local cultural life and plants. He was very attentive to each person in the tour. Due to the heavy rain, he modified the route so that we can enjoy the large waterfall with minimal impact from the rain. He had rain coats and umbrellas for everyone. In addition, he provided refreshing pineapple and delicious sweet dragon fruit for tasting after showing us the various fruits and herbs grown in Tahiti. Terrific and fun tour despite the wet weather.

Perfect Tour if You Have Limited Time on the Island and Want a Flavor of Tahiti

Angle was a great guide! It was a very fun trip around the entire island of Tahiti. We had a small group, myself, my wife and two other women. Angel shared lots of information about the island and life on Tahiti as we drove. We made several stops but the best were the last two, Farumai Waterfall and Point Venus. Our arrival at Point Venus was timed perfectly to catch a beautiful sunset. Angel also made a couple impromptu stops so we could watch the surfers. On the way back Angel made restaurant recommendations, dropped a few people off at Roulettes close to their hotels and dropped us off where we were staying. All the people in the group were on the island for only a limited time, so this was a great way to get to know the flavor of Tahiti. Highly recommended the small group size!

Beautiful experience breathtaking scenery

Wonderful experience! If you want a meaningful experience to truly see & experience the culture & see some beautiful places this is the tour for you!

PRIVATE Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo

Don_H, Apr 2026

INCREDIBLE MOST BEAUTIFUL private snorkel cruise - MUST DO if you want to be away from crowds/ cruise tours

This was the most incredible day, if you want to see the beauty of Moorea from a catamaran, privately, away from other tourists, and this is the cruise for you. Beyond phenomenal, we were able to sail ( not motor) out to our first snorkeling spot where we were able to swim with sharks, yes, they are safe, and stingray. Our next stop was amazing and my favorite out amongst the coral garden. Our tour guide was very caring as he spoke lovingly about the coral and how to preserve it and keep it alive and beautiful. The colors were amazing. I had no idea that there were coral that were purple and blue and the fish, I’ve never seen so many species in one place. It was beyond beautiful, our last snorkel spot was to look and learn about the underwater volcanic stone statues created in 1998 by artist Tihoti Guy. Simple beautiful. Having a day on the water with these great guys ( Henri- Luca and our guide ❤️) I will remember with joy this experience the rest ouf my life . MUST DO

Suzi_H, Mar 2026

Simply the best! If you only do one thing in Moorea it HAS to be this!

There are not enough words in the dictionary to express how wonderful this tour was! Stefan and his crew went out of their way to make our day unforgettable! The magic began as soon as we left the dock ….the crew shared interesting facts about Moorea and then proceeded to serenade us with their beautiful singing accompanied by the joyful ukulele and bongo drum! The snorkeling was brilliant with stingrays, reef sharks and fish in abundance. The lunch was delicious. The boat very comfortable. There was plenty of time to have multiple snorkeling sessions, some turtle spotting, coconut harvesting and Polynesian craft. I had my 88yr old mother with me and Stefan & his crew (I’m kicking myself I don’t recall the names of his team!) treated her like royalty! The whole day was absolutely brilliant! I will be retuning to Australia and telling everyone if they are visiting Moorea they MUST do this tour! You will not be disappointed I promise you! 10 stars out of 5!!

Guided Small Group Whale Watching and Swim Tour Tahiti

Aaron_T, Nov 2025

Once in a lifetime experience in Tahiti

This excursion must go to the top of your list. From the moment we stepped on the boat everything was first class! Our guide Teiki spent a lot of time giving the small group a great understanding of the animals. The safety training and care of his passengers was very evident. He spent time with everyone explaining how we would approach the whales to have an experience we wouldn’t forget but most importantly giving us the understanding that we have to be calm to not disturb the animals. We were extremely lucky to come across a mother and baby calf. You can tell that Teiki has a special understanding of the animal as well as the habitat. We were able to observe at a safe distance to make the whales feel safe and for the small group to have an experience of a lifetime. We could have ended the trip there but Teiki and his captain brought us to another spot showing us the elegant eagle rays. Although this trip was booked for an allotted time, we never felt rushed and we went well over the scheduled time. Teiki loves what he does and you can tell it’s in his heart to take extra care of the animals while showing his passengers an unforgettable experience. If you schedule any excursion on your trip to Tahiti, make sure this one is on the top of your list. We were made to feel like friends, not like an other charter guest.

Half day whale tour 4h00

Braxton_D, Oct 2025

Perfect day!!

Could not have asked for a better day! Our captain Mahai and guide Kevin made the day extremely enjoyable and know exactly how to get as close as possible to the whales. If the weather permits they will get you there. We were lucky enough to get to see a mother whale and her baby extremely close while we were in the water with them it was a breathtaking experience when we would never forget thank you again to our captain and guide.

Shared Whale Expedition

Steve_W, Sep 2025

Once in a lifetime experience

This was so awesome. It was like being in a National Geographic documentary. We got literally feet away from some and spent almost 1/2 hour in one spot observing 2 humpback whales up close. Some words of caution. These are huge animals! It was quite overwhelming (at least initially) seeing them this close! You also need to be able to swim quickly as the boats can only get with in a few hundred yards and you’ll need to quickly and quietly swim up to them before they leave the area. The guide (Mari) was so patient and kind. We’d definitely do this again
