Highlights
- Arahurahu Marae - Archaeological site

Maraa Grotto - Maraa Grotto: features lush freshwater pools, small caves, and the dripping grotto itself, surrounded by ferns. Paul Gauguin mentioned it in his letters home, taking a break from his usual requests for loans; the poor fellow didn’t quite live the life he depicted in his paintings.

5 Hour Tour of the island of Tahiti by Fabrice - Fabrice was fantastic and intimately knowledgeable about his island. For 5 hours, he showed and explained expertly, the highlights of this fantastic island. His vehicle was clean. He brought fruit from a nice roadside vendor and we ate on a fantastic black sand beach with surfers all around. He was especially good at explaining the exploits of HMS Bounty crew. I would highly recommend Tahiti Eden Tours and Fabrice.

Great guide Antoinete - A wonderful trip with an excellent guide, Antoinete. We walked the entire island and our guide never stopped talking about the history and sights of the island. Although we know a lot about historical facts, Antoinete helped us to understand some new knowledge even more. We visited all the important places on the island and enjoyed the beautiful nature. This trip was a combination of fun (there were songs and jokes) and navigating through history. Thanks Antoinete once again!!

A great way to tour the Island - Four of us took the privaye tour around Tahiti Nui with Fabrice on our last day in Polynesia. The vehicle was very comfortable, and Fabrice was extremely knowledgeable about the relevant stops we made around the island. He was also a wealth of information about Polynesian history and social, economic, and political issues and Polynesias relationship with France.
Fabrice speaks excellent English and French. Highly recommended.
