Explore Tahiti on a half-day exploration on the coast of your choice. Depending on your preferences, opt for the wilder, greener East Coast or the West Coast, famous for its beaches and spectacular sunsets. If you choose the East Coast, you will be immersed in a wilderness where the mountains flow into the ocean. You will discover the mythical Point Venus and its historic lighthouse, the impressive cliffs sculpted by wind and waves, and the peaceful waterfalls hidden in the heart of tropical vegetation. If you opt for the West Coast, the journey will take you along white sandy beaches and crystal clear lagoons. Stop at the Maraa Caves, mysterious cavities surrounded by greenery, at the Tahiti Museum (optional), then continue to the famous surf spots, where the waves come to embrace the reef with power. And finally, you will end up with the Vahipai Water Garden.

Full day tours last 8 hours. Half day tours last 5 hours. If you are looking for an informative educational tour with in-depth explanations, then this is for you. Learn about the Polynesian way of life, its customs, geology, flora, fauna and history. I have lived in on Tahiti since 1993. I married a Polynesian in 1995. I have the impression that I was destined to become a guide, in fact my husband Coco’s family name is Faaterehia which can mean to guide and I just adore guiding visitors around this stunning island. Perhaps there is something to the Polynesians belief that the name you give your children can influence their character. Today I am one of the most experienced guides on Tahiti and id be delighted to show you some of our sites. Places visited will depend on the time available, tours can be personalized and include a maximum number of sites depending on the length of the tour chosen. I also have other tour options listed such as city tours and west or east coast tours

What are people saying about Papeete

Cynthia_L, Jun 2026

Tahitian highlights and much more!

Both Manna and Mary Jane provide excellent customer service. They are native Polynesians, know and love their island. They ensure each customer has an enjoyable experience, even stopping at Mary Jane’s Mom’s house for some homemade dried breadfruit snacks & yummy coconut cake! They also give each customer a small sample of coconut oil and a few small sea shells. You didn’t feel rushed at the stops and Manna answered all our questions. We went to each stop as advertised seeing the lighthouse, black sand beach, waterfalls, botanical garden, remains of a Polynesian temple by the beach and fresh water cave. Even captured a beautiful Tahitian sunset!

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

Moorea Street Food Tour

Gwen_F, Apr 2026

Amazing food tour!

We so enjoyed this food tour, Heymata took us to the local spots you’d not know to stop at. Tried many new things and left with some new favorites. He was accommodating of my dietary preferences which is challenging in a group setting but was no issue with him! We would absolutely do this tour again and recommend to anyone coming to Moorea

4x4 Safari HEREAKIMANU Tour in the Heart of Tahiti

Bruce_W, Apr 2026

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.

Activity/Excursion Lagoon Tour to Moorea by Canoe 6 hours

Richard_G, Apr 2026

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

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.

WHALE TOUR - Watching and Swimming with Whales

Tonya_R, Oct 2025

Swim with Whales

Wow! This is truly an incredible experience. We saw a mother and baby; they got so close to us! You definitely need to be a decent swimmer. Our guide, Nicolas, and boat driver, Henua, were knowledgable, skilled, and accommodating. They had cold beverages available on the ride back and dropped people off right at their resort if it was along the water. This is a must-do while in Mo’orea. Suggestions- wear a wetsuit if you have one and bring your own fins. They give you a life jacket which creates a lot of drag. Snorkel gear is provided, but we would have been more comfortable in our own fins.

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
