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.

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.

10 out of 10 - Had the best time on the 1/2 day tour with Fabrice! He was very knowledgeable and so accommodating to my parents (70 & 77). He knows about everything! Surpassed our expectations! Would definitely recommend taking a tour with his company.

Fabulous island tour!!! - Fabulous, fabulous experience!
Vetea, driver and tour guide, was superb with interesting information and a great selection of scenic stops: luscious gardens, spectacular waterfalls, black sand beaches and scenic, panoramic overlooks!
Picked us up right on time at the cruise terminal and dropped us off right at our hotel.
Great knowledge of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the land, the people and the history.
Very comfortable, new air-conditioned van with water and even fresh bananas along the way.
Fabrice, in the office, kept us steadily advised via prompt emails and worked to accommodate our travel schedule.
We hated to see this tour end! Most highly recommended!!!
