A Great Introduction to Tahiti.

A great introduction to Tahiti Nui. The gardens, waterfalls and temple and lighthouse were lovely. And the island coast line is beautiful. Edouard, our guide/driver was well informed, passionate and caring. Overall, we had a fab time and recommend this tour.

A Fabulous Experience

The entire experience was priceless. Angele was informative unquestionably experienced and made us feel like we were part of her family. She provided a wealth of information as well as personal tidbits which further enhanced our experience. We have visited Tahiti before but wanted to enjoy the educational aspects of a professional tour and she did not disappoint. Highly recommended

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 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

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

Robert_H, Jun 2026

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.).

Excellent Jet Ski Tour!!

This was such a great tour! I am traveling with my 73 year old mother, two 25 year olds, and one 12 year old. My mother was so afraid of this tour as she isn’t a strong swimmer but wanted to experience this tour. I asked if she can ride with the tour guide and not drive. They were so accommodating and friendly. Kiki was our guide and he was AMAZING!! Very kind and knowledgeable and patient. He tons of photos of us and was very informative while jet skiing and showed us the coral reef farms as well. The jet skis were in great shape like new. They gave us water bottles to store on our jetski when we needed to hydrate. We had such a great time we were able to see & swim with the sea turtles, black tip sharks and stingrays. At the end of the tour we were given a rum punch and or juice and time change before heading back to the ferry terminal. I highly recommend this tour!! 5 Stars for sure!!

We had such an amazing day out in Moorea - this tour exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly informative, friendly, and brought a level of energy to the tour that made the day unforgettable. Within 15 minutes of getting on the boat, we got to see a pod of dolphins swimming in the harbour, rays and black tip sharks at our next stop, and a snorkel tour with turtles thanks to the low current in the channel that day. The lunch on the private island was a highlight, where we got to learn how to make coconut fish and shuck a coconut, all while taking in the crystal clear water with a rum punch!

Sunset Cruise : Moorea Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo

Sunset sail

JP was an amazing host and made our sunset catamaran sail in Moorea such a memorable experience. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The sunset sail itself was absolutely beautiful, with incredible views and such a relaxing atmosphere. JP helped make the experience feel personal, fun, and unforgettable. It was one of the highlights of our time in Moorea, and we’re so glad we booked with him. We would highly recommend JP to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful sunset sail while visiting Moorea!

Laura_B, Jan 2026

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

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

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

Summer_L, Nov 2025

Henua saves the day!!

What an incredible experience, with an incredible guide! We were travelling to Moorea on a cruise so I was very worried about communication without having wifi. At first I was very upset, I tried reaching out on several occasions looking for answers on where to meet, how do we know who they are, what if the ship can’t dock but we have no wifi; those sort of questions. It took days to get a response and every time I asked something in return to their response… days. The night before we left, we were ready to cancel because of the lack of communication and not knowing for certain what was happening. Thankfully everything worked out for the better, and our guide Henua, was absolutely incredible. He is a huge reason this trip is getting 5 stars. His people skills, knowledge, and leadership through this whole experience was amazing. Apart from the whales, he is the reason for the 5 stars, I give him as a guide 5+ stars for this experience. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!
