The best tour of the island - An east-west excursion, ending with a sunset over Moorea from Venus Point. Eric was very attentive and made us discover the history, culture and flora of the island. He answered all our questions. A must do in Tahiti.

Max to the Max on Tahiti Nui - Max was our guide for the day and we were impressed from the start with a beautiful new and wonderfully air conditioned van for our tour. Wow, as it makes a difference being comfortable when you're together 4-5 hours. Max's knowledge of the island of Tahiti, as well as the area, is endless. He walked us through all the different Europeans that showed up and their impact, the important dates in history, appropriate political commentary (factual not opinionated), the flora and fauna, many historic sites, the story of the Bounty from England to Pitcairn Island, the nuclear testing France did in the area, the site of the Olympics surfing competition this summer, and so much more. Highly recommend if you want lots of detail about the island. Max also took many photos of us along the way so we didn't have to worry about getting the selfie right. Maururu!

Highly recommended tour of Papeete - Wonderful experience. Communications were easy and timely from the time of booking through to pick up in Papeete. We arrived by cruise ship, and they were waiting right by the arrival point. Max was an impeccable and amazingly informative host who gave us a detailed history of Tahiti as we toured the sites of the island. The vehicle we travelled in was very comfortable for our family of 5 and could have easily accommodated a couple more. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the tour including a couple of hard to please teenagers! Highly recommended.

Excellent Private Perimeter Tour of Tahiti Nui - Excellent 5 hour tour of the perimeter of Tahiti Nui. We experienced sun, clouds, drizzle, light rain and a short downpour that energized the numerous and beautiful waterfalls. Good overview of the history, plant life and modern life on the island. Natalia was prompt and also provided a transfer to the airport. Best sight was the Arohoho Blowhole. A can’t miss attraction.
