Cannot Miss!! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Max was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the island and story telling skills were fantastic. We learned so much and saw so many things that we would not have seen unless we had done this tour. Max knew where to find all the good spots were and took excellent photos of us. This tour was a “one stop shop” for being able to see the entire island of Tahiti and Tahiti Tini. We did this tour as a couple privately and I would highly recommend. We were able to ask questions and learn as much as we could! The van that we were taken around in was nice as well and the air conditioning was lovely. If you are visiting Tahiti, this is a must do activity!

Perfect last day in French Polynesia - Max was an amazing guide - he knew everything! He accommodated all our requests, from changing the pick up time to adding a special look at the event site for the Olympic surfing. We have a great photo record of our visit as Max used our phones to expertly document almost every stop. He was able to add a personal touch many places as he seemed to know all the locals. We could not have asked for a better day!

The BEST!!! - Max is an incredible tour guide. His knowledge of the island was outstanding. We had a great time and would definitely book with him again. Almost forgot, he took the time to take pictures at each location with our camera. Can't say enough about him.

Best way to see Papeete!! - Best shore excursion in 8 ports of call. Had many in New Zealand but WOW what a special treat for my group in Papeete. Our guide used a headset speaker so we never missed a word. She filled all 8 hours with history, floral, facts, legends and many breathtaking vistas. The van was easy to load and unload for the 7 of us and what was really great is we arrived at sites prior than the cruise ship and had places all to ourselves and learned more about each location because we quickly gathered to learn more. The lunch location was outstanding and surely beat the food court I was taken to in Tauranga the week prior.

Fabulous way to see Tahiti with a terrific guide! - Natalia was a wonderful, kind, honest, knowledgable, good-humored, and very professional guide for our day touring Tahiti. One of our group was a bit slow-moving and she gave us plenty of time to go at the speed we set, showing us a wide variety of lovely spots around Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti, telling us stories about Tahitian culture, modern island life, and anything else we asked about along the way. I would absolutely recommend her business for your visit to Tahiti in order to see essentially the entire (drivable) coast of the island and learn a ton along the way. We truly enjoyed her company, patience, and fantastic tour. Thank you, Natalia, for the great experience we had for our whole family!
