Amazing Tour!
Our tour guide Mana was an awesome guide who was very knowledgeable about the island of Tahiti. There were 7 guests in his new Hyundai SUV that was immaculate. He took us to all the sites on the itinerary. Beautiful waterfalls, water gardens, sacred temple, venus point black sand beaches and so much more! He took us to a family home where they served us delicious banana crepes and gave each lady a coconut oil perfume. The personal touch was so nice. The tour was 5 hours long and well worth every minute! We highly recommend this tour!

Special connections!
Mary Jane our guide is an excellent cultural ambassador for Tahiti. We highly recommend her tour. She took us to major sites, providing lots of information about each. She even took us to her Mother's home for delicious banana crepes, a d is a descendants of the authors of the book Mutiny on the Bounty! This is the perfect tour if you only have one day.

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!

An amazing day
Absolutely amazing day. So far it’s been the highlight of our 18 day holiday.
Could not fault a thing, was treated like VIPs from the minute we were picked up & everything was way beyond our expectations from
the snorkelling spots to the fantastic lunch on the private Moto. Cam & Mamu (?) were fantastic.
I booked this tour based on the reviews and I’m so glad we did.
Do yourself a favour and take this tour - you will not be disappointed

A fun and memorable day
This tour took us to the interior of the island and covered a lot of territory. Unfortunately it POURED almost the entire day so we weren't able to see much, BUT we all still had a great time, filled with laughter (while riding around) and enjoyed the information we learned at the stops. We also ended up with a flat tire near the end of our trip, but the guide, two people from our group, and a few men that were in a passing truck stopped by and had it changed in no time. I didn't realize it, but I was black and blue on my butt a few days later from the constant bumps (which my Fitbit counted at 19,000+ steps!)...but it was worth it for the day - just wish we had a little less heavy rain so we could have gotten out a bit more.

Our Favourite location on the Planet
We took this tour from a cruise ship. The communication and organisation was excellent in the lead up. The meeting point was easy to find once we arrived on the pier via tender. Our unforgettable day commenced when we were introduced to our captain Moana who was personal, knowledgeable and highly entertaining. The day was full of Polynesian culture and hospitality with multiple opportunities for snorkeling that was outstanding with rays, reef sharks, turtles and an abundance of sea life. You will not go hungry with a delicious lunch accompanied by a selection of beverages. While eating lunch you will be entertained with some beautiful singing and ukulele playing. Whilst we didn’t want the day to end Moana had us dropped back at the pier in time for us to board our tender. This is a must do tour on your visit to Moorea. Easily 5++++++++ Stars

Edouard — Formidable!!! Do not miss this exceptional opportunity!
We absolutely loved our extensive tour around the island! Our tour guide, Edward, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history of the island! The rainstorm made the waterfalls even more spectacular! We loved it! We highly recommend Edward and the tour!

More than an ATV ride
Great way to see the inland of Moorea, the gorgeous mountains, and the stunning views of both the landscape and lookout points of the ocean. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the history of the island and let us take our time at different stops along the way. But we also really enjoyed the off-roading and fun with the ATVs!

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.

Great trip! We saw so...
What a great trip! We saw so many marine creatures and beautiful corral gardens. The water was calm and warm with great visibility. It was our first time using the sea scooter and they gave us plenty of time in the shallow lagoon to familiarize ourselves with the equipment before starting the tour. The guide was not only a very experienced diver but a great photographer as well. With his close up photos of rays and turtles, I didn't have to struggle with my own GoPro. Highly recommended!

The BEST experience and staff
I would highly recommend any of this company's tours. We did both the jetski tour and the boat tour to see the whales. The jetski tour was so fun and the whale tour was unreal. All of the staff here are the best. The guides are the perfect balance of informative to make sure you know everything you need to, while also being super fun and relaxed so that you can enjoy the experience.
We had some rough seas on our boat tour, but Kevin and the captain were persistent in making sure we still were able to see and swim with the whales. I am incredibly grateful for all the work they put into finding the whales, making sure we were all safe, being such a calm and patient presence when we were sea sick and for allowing us to have the most memorable adventure. Seeing the whales that close is an indescribable experience that you must see for yourself.

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
