Great experience! - We had a remarkable time! The ride up the river was beautiful, peaceful, calm, and we were told about the different plants and fruits and how they’re used in the culture. We also saw a por of dolphins that we watched for a bit on the way to the pearl demonstration. The demonstration was quite interesting and after that we were given fresh fruit and juice and water. Would highly recommend it!

Tour of raitaa up the river - We enjoyed the travel up the river. Our guide told us a lot of history and stories about the island. We traveled then to a pearl farm and received info there about how pearls are made. Then when we returned to the boat he served us refreshments. The pineapple was so delicious!

Visit of Raietea - One of the best excursions of my stay, Julien was top he explained everything to us and he was very patient, thanks to him we know a large number of fruits and vegetables from Polynesia and yet we were off to a bad start 😂. We visited the river, he explained the history of the river he explained the flora and fauna of Polynesia we ate on a motu of Polynesian food. We learned how to crack coconuts and make coconut milk and after Snorkelling. PS: We spent the whole day and not half a day

Go straight to the Operator book direct - Fantastic way to get into the island of Moorea. From zipping up the main road to jungle pathways we immersed ourselves in the countryside. The ATV guide was knowledgeable and friendly looked out for all his trekkers. Highly recommended

Above and beyond the call of duty - Thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride and pearl harvesting demonstration. A shame the farm didn’t have more items out for sale. I would have bought something! There were two passengers with mobility issues and the crew were very attentive and helpful getting them in and out of the boat. I was very impressed.
