Amazing! - We had such fun! They took us all over and we got to see things we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. They gave us a glimpse into life on the island. It was amazing!

A perfect half day trip - It's a fairly long car ride from Papeete (some 90 minutes), but well worth it. This family run business has been around for quite some time, and unlike their "new" competition, eager to jump on the Olympic games bandwagon, they know what they're doing and where to go. A perfect halfday trip, with some refreshments and fruit from the owners'garden. What else ?

Great experience even with bad weather - Even though the weather did not cooperate and we did not get to explore Tahiti Iti as much as we (and the guides!) would have wanted, the guides and captain were extremely nice and tried to find as many ways as possible to give us the best experience. We went to a snorkeling spot, saw the waves for quite a while and they thoroughly explained all the sites. This is a family run business and it felt amazing to support them and learn more about French Polynesia. Since we couldn’t explore the full area due to weather, they treated us with an amazing lunch at the Plage de Maui (you should check this place regardless, food was excellent). Highly recommend and can’t wait to do it again with better weather.

Great way to experience Teahupoo! - I’m staying in Punaauia which is about an hour drive from Teahupoo but definitely worth the trip, I mean why not explore as far south as you can go on the island?? I signed up for the half day but lucked out that everyone else on the boat was signed up for the full day, so they asked if I wanted to do full instead - Um.., yeah! Started out on the boat with some coffee, cinnamon pancake type things, and fruit. From there the we cruised through the lagoon to check out the big wave break where the Tahiti Pro surf competition takes place every year. After that we made our way over to a reef for snorkeling. All the while a lovely young lady named Tau acted as our tour guide explaining in both French and English all of the sights, cultural significance, and some other good commentary. We hung out and snorkeled for a good 45 - 60 minutes and after that proceeded to the peninsula, now there is no way of accessing this area by land so the only way you will see it is to take this tour. Once we docked we set off for a pretty awesome hike along the coastline which culminated with us hiking through a waterfall cave to another bigger waterfall that you can swim around and under, very refreshing! After all of that we made our way to the river Vano I think it’s called where we relaxed and ate poke with coconut vegetable curry, poke with curry/ black pepper and oil, Ume fish, fried rice, pasta, bbq chicken bits, and bbq sausage. I opted for the local beer while the others went for the rum punch. The others went to explore the river and swing on ropes while I stayed aboard and napped while listening to some chill music. On the way down and back we saw 4 whales breach which was pretty cool. So yeah, overall great day and worth ever penny. Thank you to Tau and the rest of the crew including the dachshund Tiki who is the captains first mate I believe 😁.

It's an adventure! - Tau was awesome and very accommodating. We were the only people on board that spoke english, but she took her time and made sure we felt included. The hike was fun, but bring water shoes. Flip flops won't cut it. If we get a chance to return to Tahiti, we will stay on Tahiti Iti. It is gorgeous.

Fun half day tour! - We had a fantastic time on this tour! Unfortunately the weather was horrible, and the tour was almost cancelled as all other guests cancelled, but the company was kind enough to still take us and we had a fantastic morning. It started with breakfast on the boat made by our guide, then beautiful views of Tahiti, stopping by Teahupo’o, followed by a fun coastal hike with waterfalls. We then had the option to snorkel on a white sand bar, but it was still raining so we skipped that part. Our guide and the boat captain were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed spending time with them and learning from them. The tour starting point is quite far from PPT, so we luckily rented a car for the day to make it over there, I would definitely recommend doing that.

Half Day Teahupoo tour disrupted by bad weather - We booked 9 months ahead for the half day tour. There was a flood earlier this summer, and the river portion of the tour was destroyed. Originally the boat trip was supposed to leave from behind the Teahupoo City Hall, so we went there, but it was the wrong place. Luckily a lady came and told us so with only 5 minutes to spare, we drove quickly to the only other visible jetty. It was cloudy and rainy, but we only had that day free so we had to go. Haunui was the skipper and guide. The boat was very nice and stable, & we felt very safe going out to see the wave with him. It was too cloudy and rainy to do the coastal sightseeing by boat, and we didn’t get a refund. So we paid USD 200 for seeing the wave, which costs $57 X 2 = $114. Be aware weather can disrupt the tour you pay for.
