Best Tour of Papeete, Tahiti Scenes and Culture
This tour of Papeete, Tahiti included several stops. We visited sacred grounds, water falls, a botanical garden, a light house, and a black sand beach. Our group of 8 people traveled in a comfortable, late model, air-conditioned van. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and culture of Tahiti. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best Tour!!!!
Our trip to Tahiti was extremely last minute with no plans. I booked this trip at 3 o’clock in the morning. We were promptly picked up at our hotel as it said on the booking. Leonie was our guide. She was extremely respectful, kind, courteous, and informative! Stunning trip we would 100% do again! It is a 4x4 road that is bumpy, but we truly enjoyed being able to stand up in the back of the truck and look out at all the incredible views! Leonie went above and beyond as she helped us navigate where to go for the next few days of our time in Tahiti even taking us to rent a car! I’ve never in my life had a tour guide go so far out of their way to make our trip incredible! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

An incredible tour!
Yoann was an incredible guide, taking time to tell us about the whales while we waited for our opportunity to swim with them. We were finally able to swim with them at the end of the tour, and we had many beautiful views of them swimming around as we waited for the right time to get in the water. I highly recommend this tour - be honest about your swimming ability because it can be challenging and recognize that while your guide will do their best, whales can be unpredictable and you may not actually swim with them! Overall, it’s a once in a lifetime chance and completely worth it.

The tour to book!
Amazing food tour at Moorea with our guide (Hamate - sorry for the spelling). The tour is well-thought, the itinerary flows well and the food we had was very representative of the island. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about it. He was happy to answer any questions we had and took time to explain in details how and why a dish was famous. I’d really recommend booking this tour to learn more about French Polynesia food.

This was an amazing adventure!!!
This was an amazing tour! It's a 10 in our book. We had a lot of time interacting with a young calf and its mother. A lot of time! They picked us up on the seawall of the park by a heart sculpture. It was easy to find. They provided all the snorkel gear including a shortie wetsuit! The fins weren't too comfortable so wear footies or socks. We had an excellent adventure provided to us by the guide and captain. The crew provided a safe and comfortable ride with drinks and snacks. This is an experience that you will never forget! Highly recommended!

Tahiti land tour
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the East and West Tour of Tahiti with Antoinette! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing the beauty, culture, and history of Tahiti with us.
The tour was beautifully organised, and Antoinette made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. She took us to some breathtaking locations and shared fascinating stories and local insights along the way. Her warm personality and attention to detail really made the day special.
If you’re visiting Tahiti, I highly recommend booking the East and West Tour with Antoinette. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Antoinette, for such a fantastic day! 🌺🌴☀️

This tour was a great way...
This tour was a great way to see the island and talk to the local guide. I wore tennis shoes and thank goodness I did the hike to the top of magic mountain was a little steep but the tour guide takes you most of the way then it’s just a short hike to the top.

See Beautiful Tahiti and it’s Past!
What a great way to see the island and learn the culture. We saw ruins of temples, waterfalls, gardens, black sand beaches and the lighthouse. We were even treated to homemade pineapple bread and bananas. Hei Mana was an excellent guide with patience, great timing, fantastic picture taking and answering any and all of our questions. A wonderful day in Tahiti and views of both sides of the island and its past.

Had a wonderful time!
The jet ski tour was fantastic. While I've gone jet skiing before, it was nice to take a tour of the bays and other areas. Being able to go through certain areas that are smaller/narrower for boats was nice. Because the water is fairly calm in most areas, it was easy to go fast and keep up. We were able to see turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and even a couple of smaller reef sharks. Our guide was great and he gave us good advice on kayaking and took us to spots that were less crowded so we could be in the water without feeling like you had 100 other people on you. He also took all good amount of pictures, that they upload for you on FB. I think it was a good value for the amount of time you get to spend on the water. Having only 5 people (3 jet skis total) was so great. Just note that there are some spots where it might get slightly rough waters, but nothing to crazy. Safety is not an issue as you have all the gear and they make sure you're following at a good distance. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone that's looking to be on the water and want to explore with a personal craft.

people, water and culture
great experience, exploring the beautiful nature, swimming with lives you like or you dont, most importantly encounter the local hospitality and culture. staff are amazing Hina and Tea are amazing, looking after everyone, young and old from beginning to the end, look after your safty, share cultural element through cooking local dishes and open coconut. swimming with stingray and sharks are fun and interesting. it was perfect day to explore beautiful island of Moorea. we come to moorea by early morning ferry from Papeete (6:10 with vaeara'i) and returned in the late afternoon(16:15 with tauati). pick up and drop off from ferry station are included. it was great day out from Papeete to Moorea, truly enjoyed.

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.).

Wonderful
So cool! This was a unique way to see a different side of Tahiti. We drove through town to get to a dirt road and then took dirt roads and 4x4 trails through the mountains. We saw beautiful waterfalls, amazing flora and fauna, eels, chickens, got to cool off in the river and eat a picnic lunch (they stop in the morning and you can purchase food from a bakery to take for the picnic). Mato was a great guide and we had a great time! I took too many pictures and videos. Take their suggestions for bug spray and sunblock seriously. Got a little burned and got bug bites because I forgot to reapply
