What are people saying about Papeete

Well Worth the Time
Outstanding day well spent esp if you are just getting into Papeete as you will see so much and learn so much about the culture, history and people. Eric and Eduard are excellent guides. This is a great way to start your trip, then rent a car and go back to the places you might want to see more of or stop to see areas of interest. Or book another walking tour of the city. Or do this and then do the tour into the mountains.

Best way to see the interior of the island
Manual was an excellent guide and driver. He really helped us learn about the indigenous plants and medicines and culture. He shared his history which was fascinating how far back he can trace. The road is insanely bumpy so be warned. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch which was nice but if you are a vegetarian you may want to bring your own

Mary Jane was a...
Mary Jane was a wonderful tour guide. I can honestly say this was one of the best tours we’ve taken. We even stopped my her parents home for fresh baked pineapple cake and bread chips. Very tasty. She was very attentive to our group and nice that it was only 7 people so a more intimate setting and not having to wait for bathroom breaks. A must tour to do when you’re in Tahiti. Request Mary Jane.
Thank you!! Tom & Sue

Great Snorkeling!
The snorkeling was fantastic. (Not as good as Bora Bora though, but still great.) Our guide and captain were both awesome, too. Just note, if you're taking the ferry from Tahiti, the dock they use is on the other side of the island and they don't pick up/drop off from the ferry. So I would only recommend this tour for someone staying on Mo'orea unless you want to make an entire day out of visiting the island (renting a car, etc.).

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.

Great views
Fun day getting to see more of the interior of the island and some great viewpoints. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. It was very convenient to take this tour rather than try to drive this or hike to the vantage points like Magic Mountain. It is an off road experience though so it is a bumpy ride but worth it!

An insane experience
It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The whole team on board was fantastic — professional, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable. The food was excellent and everything was very well organized.
As someone who couldn’t swim, I was honestly a bit nervous at first, but the crew took all the right safety measures and made sure I felt safe and at ease the entire time. Their patience and attention really made a difference.
I 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable lagoon experience.

The perfect day
An action packed day of adventure. We had the perfect day in Papeete and the weather couldn’t have been better. The views were amazing and our lunch stop and swim was perfect. The perfect way to spend a day getting to see the island from the inside out 👌😊

Highly recommend it!
I was a little nervous at first because I can’t swim. Sebastian was very kind and patient. He fed the stingrays so they followed us the whole time we were in the water. He taught us to respectful to the marine life so we can stay safe. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it

Amazing!
I highly recommend this company! The crew was incredibly dedicated, professional, and truly caring — both towards the guests and the animals. You could really feel their passion and deep respect for nature. Thanks to them, we saw whales up close in a safe and respectful way — an unforgettable experience!

Absolutely incredible...
Absolutely incredible experience with the whales. Was able to get in and snorkel up close with a whale and got to see a mom with a calf breach while we were in the water. Our guide was incredible, knowledgable, and a lot of fun.
We also got to see some eagle rays on our way back. I highly recommend booking this tour.

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
