Overview

An immersive, educational small-group circle-island tour led by seasoned local guides with 20 years of guiding experience— guides by vocation who love sharing Tahiti unique experience.

We don’t just show the sights; we explain Polynesian culture, history, geology, and botany at each stop, with personal attention for every traveler with up to 7 guests and tailored photo stops.

Travel in a licensed, air-conditioned minivan with complimentary water and seasonal fruit when available, and feel warm Polynesian hospitality that makes the day informative and fun. We journey between lush mountains and the turquoise lagoon, stopping at the most interesting attractions — including one of Tahiti’s largest waterfalls, scenic viewpoints, marae (sacred temple), black-sand beaches, and Mara’a Grotto.
