She even stopped at a roadside stand so we could buy fresh tropical flowers. HIGHLY recommend this tour.”

“We loved our small group tour!

I loved my Tahitian shrimp and even fed the shrimp heads to fish! The best part was the boat ride where the Olympic surfing event was held this year. Boat ride went right into the waves without getting wet!!!”

See Tahiti by private air-conditioned van, with waterfalls, black-sand beaches, gardens, and a guide who tailors the route to your schedule.

“This tour was the best and most comprehensive i have ever had. Damian was brilliant. We would arrive at a stop and Damian would take us around to every point of interest. While this would happen, another group would arrive and usually guide less would look around sullenly and then leave. No real curation for the other groups. It didn’t matter whether it was a mini bus or a huge tour bus, we got a better experience at each and every stop. While in the ultra comfortable van, we had a wonderful two way discourse with Damian about all things. Culture, religion,,family life, food, history, animals, transportation, and every other…”
