Outstanding half day seeing West Coast. Nice variety of sites to visit, including beaches, gardens, waterfalls, and caves. Guide was extremely knowledgable about the history and the vegetation. Guide was very friendly and communicated well.

We cannot recommend this tour enough! It was a great way to see the island without renting a car. We did the four hour, east coast option. Philippe was a wonderful guide, he shared a lot of local insight coupled with humor. Our trip was private and just the four of us in a beautiful AC’d BMW. He picked us up at the hotel directly and was happy to drop us in the city center afterwards when we requested. He has a full day option that also includes a boat ride to see the surfer in the huge waves. We didn’t go this time around but definitely will next time!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Oh thank you friends for this very nice comment !!
If you enjoyed your trip, I am very happy !!
So hope to see you back and next time, taxi boat at Teahupo’o
Thank you again 🤙🌴🏄♀️

Our tour guide and driver, Édouard, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and always had something interesting to tell us. He seemed like an expert on local plants, trees, and flowers as well as pearl production. It was a nice comfortable car with good A!C. He tailored the 1/2 day tour to our liking and was efficient every step of the way. I would recommend this tour and provider. One suggestion is to use name signs at the port for easy identification.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you Mickaël for your friendly comments !!
I will tell Edouard.
Hope to see back in Tahiti 😉🏝🤙🏄♀️

My husband, cousin, his wife and myself went on this tour together. The van was plenty big and super comfortable. Our guide took us to places that were beautiful and explained so many things we saw. He was fantastic. Would strongly recommend this tour.

Loved the one on one, we had with Phillippe. We enjoyed his enthusiasm for Tahiti, and highly recommend him.

Thank you Karen ! Hope to see you back in Tahiti 🏄♀️🌴🤙

Phillipe arrived in a timely manner. His vehicle was great for 4 people. He tailored our day based on what we wanted to see while also offering suggestions.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you Jim ! Hope to see you back again 😉🤙
Michele_B, May 2025
Had a great time!! Phillipe was great company and provided great information, interesting stops and local treasures around each corner. Plus great music and comfortable ride!

We enjoyed the very leisurely drive around Tahiti with Yo-Yo our driver. If you go on a Monday, the golf course restaurant is short staffed with limited menu. There is no real time to swim or snorkel unless you let the driver know your wishes ahead of time. Then all activities are possible.
Myra_H, Oct 2024
Don’t waste your money. I paid extra for a private tour and they had other people on the tour. The taxi driver was a great taxi driver and very personable but he was a terrible tour guide. No explanations or interesting facts about the different sights. I would not recommend.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Dear Myra,
The driver was not me. I didn’t know you were with other people. So why didn’t you call me at the beginning of your tour to tell il to me. You have called me one before and you don’t call when you had this problem !!? I do not understand why.
So after it’s very easy to speak !!! And also you forget to say that I made 200$ refund !!
So next time, you call or you shut up. That’s all.
I wish you the best dear Myra

Phillipe was a wonderful guide, he showed us so many things on the West side of Tahiti and was so friendly! I would highly recommend this trip
Harvey_C, Oct 2024
Phillip was excellent driver and guided of the tour! His BMW car is new, luxury and very comfortable! We enjoyed his company, his knowledge of the island and his experience 🙏
Jeffrey_G, Apr 2024
Owner Philippe was unavailable but contracted out our tour with Tevei, who was a nice person but hardly more than a driver. He dropped us off at sight locations and collected us after we walked around on our own. His van was unfortunately set up with one deep rear seat and another high-backed seat that faced the rear. This blocked both the air conditioning (for which he substituted small fans) and made conversation with the driver almost impossible. We had questions about the sites, population, economy, etc. that were beyond Tevei’s ability to discuss. We got nice pictures of many places but paid nearly $500 USD just for 5 hours of being driven around with little more than light conversation. Sorry, but this tour didn’t live up to expectations.

This tour delivered exactly what we were looking for. A relaxing but also very informative and entertainig ride in a comfortable car. Will recommend it anytime !!!
Michael_P, Feb 2024
Wonderful tour of island. Phillippe was excellent. Tour included caves, gardens, museum, spectacular scenery.
Cynthia_B, Nov 2023
Terrible experience! I want a refund! Was supposed to get an air conditioned behind the van showed up with no ac. Then they said they’d send another van and filled it with four additional people and we paid for a private tour with just the three of us! Said they had no other options. I called and said I wanted a refund! We had to pay another company just to tour the island on a bus with 40 others!
Peter_N, Nov 2023
Did the tour on 2023/11/14. Driver guide was prompt on time. Very knowledgeable about the tour sites. The tour is memorable and highly recommended.
michael_m, Oct 2023
Philippe began by explaining the advantages of the East Coast tour and the advantages of the West Coast tour. We decided to switch our preference to the West Coast tour, which led us along the stunning coast w stops at black sand and white sand beaches, some w healthy coral right along the shore. All absolutely beautiful and beach parks and shorelines were immaculate. We also went to a large cave pool which is rich in huge tropical plants. Philippe was very responsive to any request. As a plus, his Mercedes is fabulous and spotless.
Amy_R, Oct 2023
Philippe made it possible for us to see a momma and baby whale, which was rare for this time of year. He gave us an outstanding and special experience, and I would most definitely recommend this tour. His vehicle is exceptional, and the day felt very personalized. HIGHLY recommend.
