An amazing experience - It may not be the reason we visited beautiful Mo’Orea, but it just may be the reason we return. We were welcomed so warmly into Havaiki’s lovely gardens and home, and right away we knew we were going to be treated to an amazing experience. Havaiki is happy to share her home and her knowledge of Polynesian cuisine with her guests. We had so much fun and made memories that we will cherish forever. From start to finish, the day could not have been more perfect!

Stylish, quality cooking class and experience not to be missed. - An incredibly delightful, stylish, professional class filled with culinary information, activities and insights to local produce and cuisine. We shared this class with 6 family members as part of my big "0" birthday celebrations, as I wanted something totally local, experiential but also a lovely lunch together in fabulous location. This class did all of that. Havaaki's has created a stylish, functional and beautiful space and place to enjoy with these classes. Totally recommend to anyone wanting a class where local produce is featured, explained and cooked as well as a host who is intuitive, kind and engaging. The best value for our experience. We sat down to our delicious lunch we had all prepared in a gorgeous setting. thank you and we will return one day!!

Original and hands-on - Havaiki’s home is welcoming and laid back, and the day was incredible to share with our family. She is a wealth of knowledge about the food and the islands. It truly was a unique and wonderful experience, especially if you are looking for something original and hands-on

Interesting class, amazing food, beautiful location!!! - We went for my mum’s 60th birthday celebration with a big family group and had SUCH an amazing time. We were excited having seen the photos but the experience was even better than we had imagined. Havaiki was so knowledgeable and kind, answering all our questions about Moorea and Tahitian culinary culture. 10/10 would recommend!

The Tastes of Moorea...Run To This Class - Havaiki is a wonderful teacher and host. I really wanted a cooking class in Moorea and she definitely delivered. From her responsiveness via WhatsApp to her communication the day before class with directions on how to get to the class location, EVERYTHING was great. The ingredients are extremely fresh. Her "market" is found in her yard. It was really refreshing to see so much vegetation, fruits, edible plants etc in her yard. She hosts small and large classes up to 12 people. I was in a smaller class which was my speed. We made traditional Polynesian dishes and dined on them throughout the class. I will definitely take the class again upon my return to Moorea. Definitely book this experience. It is well worth it and SUPER TASTY. One will not be disappointed. Mauruuru Havaiki.

Perfect evening. - Havaiki was simply amazing. We had a an amazing Wendy Wow moment last night where she surprised us with this amazing authentic Moorea dinner at the home of Havaiki. The ingredients were all fresh and the fish was caught that morning by her mother. We sat and ate, drank and had great conversation at her home and had an amazing evening. I would highly recommend this to all my friends who come to Moorea and want a perfect dinner and an authentic experience.
