What are people saying about Papeete

Carlos_P, Aug 2026

Amazing Island Tour and Guide

Booked an afternoon half-day tour in late June. Even though we were staying at a hotel on the pickup route, my wife and I wanted to spend that morning exploring Papeete. It was easy to negotiate a pickup at the ferry dock (prompt responses here on viator), and they sent us clear instructions for where to meet. Vetea picked us up, and was an immediately delightful guide, answering our many questions with energy and thoughtfulness. He maintained a great schedule, and at every stop gave the group time to walk around and take in the wonders. He bought us fruit from local vendors for us to try (with bonbon chinois!), and was quick to offer to take our photo at all of the attractions on the route. He even got us to Point Venus just in time to watch the sun set. The other selected stops on the tour, including the beaches, waterfall, and ruins, were rich with history and culture - very worth seeing. This was our second day in FP, so the tour and Vetea's guidance setting a perfect tone for the rest of our honeymoon is so special to us. Mauruuru roa!

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

Tahiti, 4h30 Guided Tour, East and West Coast of Tahiti Nui

david_G, Jul 2026

The best of Tahiti

We were picked from our hotel on time in a modern 9 seater van. Our driver / tour guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable on his home country and our tour interest points. We circumnavigated Tahiti with stops at several interest points including a restored Temple (Marea? I think), cave created by wave action many moons ago, 100mtr waterfall, called in at In Laws for pineapple cake and deep Fried Bread Fruit, with the last stop being at Cooks landing point for the Venus transit in 1769. Even found out Capt. Bligh called in to collect Bread Fruit. A brilliant tour that was excellent value for money.

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!!

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.).

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!

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

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

Jennifer_S, Nov 2025

Passionate captain and...

Passionate captain and guide. We did a bit of cruising around before the whales were spotted by another guide boat, who called our crew to let them know where to steer. (While waiting, we saw spinner dolphins playing around the boat as we left harbor) Once we got into the water, we were able to swim parallel with a mom and juvenile humpback whales. It was incredible! Our guide even heard a whale surfacing behind us. We were just in time to see a third whale join mama and baby, swimming right below us.

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!

Shared Whale Expedition

Steve_W, Sept 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
