    Albert_P, Apr 2024
    Our host was fun and entertaining sharing his history and knowledge of country. We had a great time and stopped for lunch and a swim beneath a waterfall.

    Great day out with the best guide, stunning scenery
    Tom_B, Apr 2024
    What a great day. Our guide was the funniest, knowledge and careful driver. We crossed through rugged terrain and the most stunning scenery listening to the stories of culture and history. We swam in a waterfall pool and enjoyed a beautiful fruit and bread platter. Lots of laughs along the way

    Daniel_G, Apr 2024
    Hotu was an excellent guide and enlightened the entire group of the history, geology, and botany of this beautiful island.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Aroha and yes thank you Hotu a very knowledgeable guide. Mauruuru and take care of You 🙏
    Best tour guide!
    Donna_R, Apr 2024
    I was a bit hesitant as I was worried it would be too bumpy ( it really wasn’t bad ) This is an amazing 8 hour tour through the mountains and valley of Tahiti. The Guide is an authentic Tahitian and is a safe and excellent driver. The time flew by with numerous stops, feeding the eels, photo opportunities and a swim in water, all along with Tahitian history/stories and descriptions of medicinal plants. The scenery is quite green and lush. We all bought lunch at an amazing French bakery before entering the valley and we ate it at the swim location stop. He cut up local fruits and had a taste of the most delicious coconut bread! I’m so glad it did this tour. One of my finest memories of Tahiti. It rained a bit but he was able to put a cover on the jeep. The rain only added to the beauty of the scenery. I used a GoPro mounted on my wrist with hyper stabilizer on and captured some fantastic videos. Don’t miss this tour!!

    Aroha Donna, Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoy every day of your life. Now you have the Mana of Tahiti nui so take care of you and may your Mana shine every days ! Mauruuru 🙏
    Only way to see the island's interior - great trip
    Duane_F, Mar 2024
    The day long trip was beautiful and exiting. The scenery was unmatched and our driver, Patrick, was very knowledgeable with the plants and flowers. It was a great day and except way to see parts of the island not normally seen. P.S. Bring mosquito repellent!
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Mauruuru for your review and share with you all good Mana from Tahiti Nui, Mauruuru ✨
    Experience Mana in the Valley with a true Tahitian.
    Robert_A, Mar 2024
    What a great adventure. This is an owner operated tour. You get the real deal on this tour! Yes it is 8 hours but that is because you stop at more places then most tours. Also his 4x4 driving skills have earned him the name "turtle driver". This makes for a slower more comfortable 4x4 experience. If you are worried about your back, make the request to ride inside the truck cab. There is always an open front passenger seat and rear passenger seat if you need a break from riding in the back.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Aroha, thank you Rob, It was a nice day with all of you! We enjoy the tour all together with a nice group with nice energy, nice Mana. May the Mana of Tahiti Nui be with you now, Mauruuru 🙏
    Highly recommend this...
    Kari_F, Mar 2024
    Highly recommend this cross-Tahiti safari! While Rainui knows the valley and Tahiti’s history and culture, it is his honestly and openness that makes this tour feel special.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Aroha Kari, Thank you and may the Mana of Tahiti nui be with you now, Mauruuru 🙏
    I memorable drive through the heart of Tahiti
    Randal_K, Mar 2024
    The scenery in the center of Tahiti is filled with waterfalls, towering mountains and unending greenery. The visit to the ancient temple was very memorable. The encounter with the eeels at the river was quite unique and it provided a great video clip opportunity. Our tour guide was warm, informative and extremely proud to share his family heritage. The local treats he provided at lunchtime were very tasty and considerate. The photos and the memories made the trip worth every bump in the road, and they were too numerous to count.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Hello Randal, Thank you for your review. I spent a nice tour with you. You have now the Mana of the Mana, Bumpy and Natural massage road. Take care of you with only good vibes and Mana. Mauruuru and ua reva !
    Amazing journey up and over
    Andrew_W, Mar 2024
    Prompt and professional. You could tell he loved his history and culture. He took his time with us providing as many stops for pictures as we liked. Even provided us with the absolute best coconut bread I’ve ever had. Other tours were going through the motions, this is the one you want to experience the interior of Tahiti with. Breathtaking scenery and super knowledgeable guide. It’s a can’t miss.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Aroha and Mauruuru my friend for your review. Now you have the powerful Mana of Tahiti island with You. Ua reva ! 🙏

    Soo_H, Jan 2024
    Amazing journey of mountains, plants, animals, history, culture of Tihiti. He is the real tahiti person Wha he explained us is not from the book ,but from his own life and his ancestors. He is very good storyteller, a singer and the excellent photographer!!! Highly recommend this tour.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024

    Good alternative tour provided
    Judith_S, Jan 2024
    Unfortunately the interior of the island was closed due to excessive rain so we were given the choice to cancel or tour the outer perimeter. We chose the perimeter. We were able to see the black sand beach, waterfall, gardens and sacred ritual site among other things. A memorable experience.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thank You Judith and take care of you, it was a nice tour with you two. Thank you for your good vibes, good Mana 🙏 Mauruuru
    Must do in Tahiti! Full day of fun!
    John_N, Jan 2024
    We had a great time doing this excursion! Our guide was the best! Seems like he takes his time stopping for pictures whereas the other companies just rush thru. So made the whole experience worthwhile. I’ll def recommend my friends and family if they ever go to Tahiti
    Response from Host, Jan 2024

    Libby_C, Dec 2023
    i am so late with this review so i apologize but this was such an AWESOME / AMAGING tour & our guide Rainui was the greatest. he explained everything we needed to know about the island. he participated with us in the lunch time swim & eating. he was involved not just a tour guide. wonderful sense of humor too. there were other island tours going on at the same time & they seemed to pass us as if to rush thru the day but not Rainui. he took his time & made the whole tour so enjoyable.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Ia ora na my friend and thank you for your review. It is never too late ;) have fun and enjoy all part of your life. Now you have the Mana of Tahiti Nui, Mauruuru 🙏

    An incredible tour that taught us a lot about Tahitian/Maohi culture and took us through the heart of the breathtaking island. Highly recommend this company! So much enthusiasm and good mana (energy). Mauruuru!

    Tahiti Mana: Awesome. Haere tatou and Maururu
    Corry_P, Nov 2023
    Expect bumpy roads through the peaks in the cloud, uncountable waterfalls, and dark misty tunnel. Learned language, hunting culture, plant species native and invasive plants. The guide, Rainui, was great.
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Ia ora na and Mauruuru my friend! You live the Mana inside the Mana road 🙏 May the Mana of Tahiti be with you, Mauruuru 🙏
    Must do

    Amazing journey crossing Tahiti Island
    Richard_O, Oct 2023
    Hello, ia ora na, What a amazing journey through the crossing of the island. Our tour guide was incredible and he took us on a enchanted journey through the eyes of his ancestors. At every stop he had a story to share and tale to tell, all fascinating. Let's not omit that he is an extremely careful driver as the roads he manoeuvers can be quite treacherous at times An absoluty wonderful journey that will be remembered for a very long time. Mauruuru and whataver. Lol.. his favorite words
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Ia ora na my friend, We have to spend our days with love, laugh, joy and lots of fun! Now you have the Mana of Tahiti Nui, Mauruuru and Ua reva ! 🙏🤙
    Beautiful
    Janine_K, Oct 2023
    The views were breath taking! The mountains were relaxing. The ride is very very rough so be prepared.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Ia ora na Janine, Mauruuru. This is the Mana road, road of energy, a bumpy road. But when you have a good guide and driver who drives safely, you dont feel too much the bumpy. Take care of you wirh good Mana. Mauruuru 🙏
