Frebrez was an amazing tour guide. He is very informative and knowledgeable about the Tahiti culture. He goes above and beyond to make his patrons have all the necessities- water, umbrellas, and pineapple. :) I highly recommend using this tour company for your next Papeete tour.

This was a great way to see many sights and learn about Tahiti. Antoinette was wonderful! She knows so much history and shared it all with us. The stops we made were beautiful. The Botanical Garden was my favorite. This is a must for every visitor, hopefully you will be lucky and get Antoinette as your guide. We had a great time with our “chicken whisperer”!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much Rosie and Margret! We’re thrilled Antoinette made your Tahiti tour so memorable with her stories and the beautiful stops,
Debbie_P, Jul 2026
Antoinette was a fabulous tour guide. We saw basically the whole island of Tahiti. We visited so many beautiful places along our tour from waterfalls to the botanical gardens. She went over & above by stopping at various shops along the way, treating us to the fabulous fruits of the island & showing of the way to make it even sweeter with this red powder. She stopped & bought us baquettes to feed the fish, chickens & eels! What a full day of fabulous experiences we had. If I am ever lucky enough to come back to this beautiful island paradise, I hope to find her again.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Ia ora na Debbie! Thank you for this wonderful review, we’re so happy Antoinette made your day unforgettable with all the beautiful spots, fresh fruits, and special touches!

If you are looking for a tour through Tahiti and only have one day or two please look no further and book the tour with Antoinette. Antoinette is fantastic, we received an amazing tour with tons of information about the island. She is also very entertaining and just a very exceptional human. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and some more. Thank you and hopefully we will be back one day and meet again.

Great tour to see the major sites of Tahiti! Fabrice, our tour guide, was excellent as he was so nice, friendly, very knowledgeable about the island, and very accommodating to all the passengers. He even went above and beyond his duties as he provided us/carried umbrellas for us as there was a possibility of rain. The air conditioned minivan was nice too as it was cool, we were protected from the environmental elements, and it was a small group so it was very pleasant to interact with everyone.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Māuruuru Loreen!

Safe travels back home. Fabrice

What a terrific experience! We were pleasantly surprised to learn that there were only six of us on this five-hour driving tour. Our guide/driver Antoinette was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. We not only saw many sights, but we were also treated to a variety of fresh fruit samples along the way. The pace was perfect and the whole experience was engaging.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much Dave and Shawn, we're thrilled you had such a terrific experience and enjoyed the small group of just 6!
Antoinette is wonderful, and it's great to hear the fresh fruit samples and perfect pace made it so engaging. We really appreciate your kind words!
LaiGingPaulin_C, Jun 2026
Thanks to Fabrice for a wonderful 5 hour round island tour. We saw 2 waterfalls, visited 2 black sabd beaches, sacred Polynesian 3 temples on one with altar. Fabrice even treated to a baked bread fruit paired wth ground beef. It was timely snack to give energy to carry on with the round trip adventure.
The tour ended in a high note - sunset on the horizon watched from Venus.
Definitely a worthy five star trip.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much, Pauline! I'm really glad you enjoyed the island tour and that the breadfruit snack came at just the right time.
It was a pleasure guiding you, safe travels for the rest of your stay in Polynesia before heading back to Hong Kong.
Cheers!
