What an amazing experience!!! - Mana was an absolutely incredible tour guide and truly made our Bora Bora experience unforgettable. He showed us so much more than just the views — he brought the island’s culture to life. We learned about local traditions, history, and daily life in such a fascinating and authentic way. One of the highlights was trying the original stevia plant straight from the woods — such a cool and unique experience! He also took us to an extraordinary viewpoint overlooking the city that was breathtaking. Along the way, Mana recommended amazing local foods and shared stories about his culture that made everything feel so personal and meaningful. Our favorite stop was seeing the World War II cannons. It’s about a 15-minute hike, but completely worth it for the history and the views. What made the day even more special was meeting so many locals — Mana seems to know everyone! His friends generously shared fresh guavas, avocados, and mangos with us, which made the experience feel warm, genuine, and full of fun. This tour was fun, educational, and full of heart. If you want a real, local, unforgettable Bora Bora experience — Mana is your guy! 🌺✨

Amazing. - Great 4x4 excursion with Nono! It was really a great experience: beautiful spots, full of exciting stories about the island, and an extremely cultured guide. Nono takes the time to explain, share and pass on. In addition, he made me discover and taste lots of local fruits, it was too good and super authentic. I recommend 100%, a real moment of discovery and sharing. Thanks again!

Excellent “le truck” experience - Our guide was so enthusiastic and engaged! We went to several off-road, high view points offering wonderful panoramic views. You sit on padded benches in the back of a 4X4 truck. Beware that the inclines are steep and bump going up and down.

Nono's the best! - I absolutely loved my tour of the island with Nono, who sacrificed his Sunday off to drive me. He noted my interest in culture, history and biology, so took great care to point out all the different kinds of fruit and trees, take me to the best lookout points and also to the Marae on Bora Bora. He is a very good driver, very knowledgeable and communicates well in both English and French. Overall, an awesome experience...which I highly recommend!

Bora Bora Island Tour - The tour circled the entire island with various stops along the way. Seating was in the covered rear of a 4WD truck. Capacity is 8 passengers. The 4WD was definitely needed as we went to 2 elevated locations. One was to a WWII gun emplacement. The 40 min. Round trip path to the gun was VERY rocky and uneven. Remain at the truck if you have any walking difficulties. The other elevated stop was a flat location high above the ocean overlooking the bay where the cruise ship was located. Overall, a great trip.

A wonderful tour. Highly recommended - The tour goes right round the island and up several mountain viewpoints. Several interesting stops along the way including a number of WW2 sites. The tour guide (Mana) was a great host and knew all the places to go to. He spoke very good English and is fluent in French and his native language. Highly recommended.

Worth it! - We enjoyed this tour a lot. There were more stops than we expected, the guides were very nice and taught us a lot about the island and the history of the Polynesian people. They provided a cold bottle of water which wasn't in the description. Highly recommend the tour.

An excursion worth the money! - Nono was our driver and guide. I cannot say enough good things about him and his attention to detail. He was well versed in the islands history and provided us a visual with shells which helped us to understand how the other islands came about and familial relationships. Before heading back up a hill, he provided cold water and once we were back in the 4 wheeler, he provided us with cold washcloths to help cool us down. Additionally our next stop, a sarong store, had fresh island grapefruit, bananas and coconut. Exactly what our bodies needed! The trip was very informative and interesting. I would highly recommend this excursion and for the best experience ask for Nono!!

The trucks are very safe,... - The trucks are very safe, they even had seat belts in the back. Reasonably easy to get in and out of the truck. This tour took us to many more places than our friends on other tours. It was really worth it! The guides were pleasant and shared a lot of info about the area and culture.
