The view from Magic Mountain is nothing short of spectacular (it does require a short walk up at the end). The drive up there can be a little "hairy" but we had Via driving and she was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable too. Try the Magic Smoothie at the rest stop - its awesome!

What a great day. Once you get through the bumpy ride it's worth it to see the view from the top of the mountain. Our driver Tammo was informative and passionate about his heritage. Would recommend this tour

Be ready to hike

Mike_F, May 2026
Great way to see the island. But, be prepared to hike a bit for the best views. At times the going was very rough even for a 4x4 pickup.

Tour of Moorea

Michelle_M, May 2026
This was a wonderful tour. Ron, our guide was amazing. The way he maneuvered our 4 x 4 on those rough roads/paths was nothing short of amazing. He would stop along the way and explain the area. To us. He was very careful and cautious. He made sure we were safe. He took pictures of the guests, when we asked him to. He really tour of his island. There were 8 of us on the tour. I highly recommend this tour!!

Exciting ride up and down...

Steve_M, May 2026
Exciting ride up and down the mountains with great views. The knowledgeable guide told us about local flora, fauna, and geology. The rum and fruit tastings were pleasurable.

Bumpy ride, but got to see nice views! No guide in the back with you, and our driver didn’t speak English. We traveled with a second 4x4, and that guide spoke to both groups at the stops. Nice scenery. Got to try the alcohol at the distillery and jams at another stop.

What a great day!

Well worth it!

The driver was super nice and the smaller group was fantastic. Our driver went the opposite way of the other groups so we felt like we were alone on our tour.

Ship missed the port of Moorea due to a ship fire.

gale_h, Apr 2026
Our ship had a fire onboard at sea and was required to miss the port of call at Moorea Island. At 3:00 PM our captain announced we would not sail to Moorea on the next day, so I immediately called Mario to cancel our tour. He had not yet received the news that our HAL ship was not coming to Moorea. He said I was cancelled and would receive a refund and thank you for the information about the ship not sailing to Moorea. At 10:52 PM Mario sent out an email (I do not have internet onboard the ship and received the email when I got home) to say "there is the possibility of being able to take the Aremiti Ferry" to Moorea, find his jeeps at the Moorea dock, tour, and be taken back to the ferry. The roundtrip ferry would have added $40 to each of our tour expenses. I had told Mario I was canceling and am still waiting to receive my refund of $140.

Sun Sand & Black Pearls

Ronald_F, Apr 2026
Too much time at pearl stop not enough time at the beach. Boat ride was nice but slow as boat was having motor problems.

Great views

Richard_B, Apr 2026
Great tour of the island. Our guide gave us a lot of information about the island and history. Our driver was amazing.

Worth every euro or dollar. Trip up to top of Magic Mountain is certainly not for the faint of heart.

Reach The Highest Picturesque Peak

Arthur_A, Mar 2026
Our tour guide, Vaya, was informative and helpful. The drive through dirt roads allowed us to view the lush forest.

Magic Mountain--what a view!

Sandra_V, Mar 2026
We really liked this tour! The drive up Magic Mountain was really the standout part of the tour. What a crazy road! What a ride! What a view from the top!! Our guide also had some educational materials to explain how the islands we formed. Super interesting and an added bonus I was not expecting. The pineapple plantation was fascinating, and though I did love the Belvedere overlook, it did not compare to Magic Mountain, which you can ONLY get to in a 4x4. I'm glad we booked this tour!

Denise_T, Mar 2026
Spiro “Lady in Blue” was an awesome tour guide & 4x4 driver. She is very knowledgeable with Moorea and we love her spirit and love for the island. Our only feedback is that we would like the tour description to be a little more detailed especially with the challenging terrain especially going up Magic Mountain. Otherwise, we throughly enjoyed and saw lot of Moorea. Thanks Spiro!

Mario’s tours are the best! Thank you Ron (our tour guide) your team exceeded our expectations!!

Pamela_M, Mar 2026
WONDERFUL EXCURSION with Safari Mario. Our tour guide was Ron and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer guide who was so informative and fun to travel with. I want to start with our thanks to Mario as he went above and beyond to be sure this excursion happened. As it turned out, our cruise ship was not able to come to Moorea from Papeete. We were told on our cruise ship that we would be staying an extra two days in Papeete as we could not safely tender to Moorea. Mario contacted us immediately, changed the time of our tour to accommodate the ferry schedule and then picked us up from the ferry terminal to start our tour which as it turns out was on the complete opposite side of the island from where we would have landed had we been tendered! We heard from other passengers on the ship that their tours expected them to take a taxi to the other side of the island to meet their tour! We were met and picked up as soon as the ferry that he advised us to take docked. This is a small group tour, so there were only 8 of us in our vehicle. This allowed easy access to the sites we stopped at and each was explained in perfect detail. We were able to make stops that the big busses just couldn’t maneuver to, the most spectacular of which was magic mountain where you could have a 360 degree view of the entire island! We also had many other scenic spots along the way and saw how pineapples and vanilla are grown as well as stops for fresh fruit and jams and another stop at the distillery for a delicious alcoholic or non alcoholic sampling of juices and spirits! We can’t thank this tour company and Ron enough for a beautiful day in Moorea and we would definitely give more stars on this review if we could!

Explore Moorea and Enjoy

Rita_H, Feb 2026
It was a fantastic excursion. Our guide took us to everything listed, and she also stopped here and there to show us various plants, surrounding points of interest and answered our questions. Highly recommend. One note...make sure you know the time to meet and VERIFY it the day BEFORE your excursion. For some reason, our time was changed to 9:30am from 12:30pm. Thank goodness we arrived at 10:00am to check out the market...then spotted our name (on a board the guide was holding) for the earlier time. Thankfully, they were still waiting for us. Excellent excursion otherwise.

Magic mountain is really magic!

Franz_M, Feb 2026
We were only the two of us, like a private tour! Great experience with a very nice and professional guide/safe driver. Magic mountain is really magic🫶

Rock Star trip

Brett_D, Feb 2026
This trip was incredible. The guide was very well versed in the history and facts of the region. The truck trip up Magic Mountain was exhilarating and once at the top the views were spectacular. The views, the stories, the trip was more than we expected. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for wine adventure away from the beaches.

A bumpy ride.

Jack_S, Feb 2026
A very bumpy ride around an absolutely beautiful island. The guide was excellent and truly loves his country.

Great Tour

David_F, Feb 2026
Pick up was very easy. The vans were comfortable but required climbing a few steps. The views of the island are stunning. Our guide was very knowledgeable especially regarding the flora. The drive up magic mountain was exciting and a little nerve-racking. Highly recommended.

Good tour - great guide

Very accommodating! The company did not report our reservation but the driver quickly arranged for a guide for us.

Bumpy but Awesome.

Steve_E, Jan 2026
We had an awesome trip. It definitely was a 4x4 adventure. Went up some very steep hills that I would never had ventured up myself but the guides were amazing drivers. The views were unbelievable. Totally worth the bumpy ride. Picked us up from the cruise ship tender dock and had us back to the ship in plenty of time. The pineapple distillery was awesome as well with tastings available. Well worth the trip.

Beautiful views from Magic Mountain despite the path to get there. Pineapple Plantation visit is uneventful.

Great way to see some of Mo'orea
