Highlights
- Arahurahu Marae - Archaeological site

Maraa Grotto - Maraa Grotto: features lush freshwater pools, small caves, and the dripping grotto itself, surrounded by ferns. Paul Gauguin mentioned it in his letters home, taking a break from his usual requests for loans; the poor fellow didn’t quite live the life he depicted in his paintings.

Tahiti then and now - Antoinette was very personable and with great knowledge of the history and culture. Even though the weather didn’t totally cooperate, she persevered.

Excellent private tour - Great way to see the island and many major sites like waterfalls, the lighthouse and monuments. Antoinette was very informative and shared fresh fruit and got fresh bread to feed the eels and chickens at the botanical garden. It was a little long but it can’t be shorter if you take the trip around the entire island. The car was comfortable and air conditioned and we loved doing a private tour. Antoinette made us feel very special.

Great way to spend the day in Tahati - From the time I booked~to pick~ to the actual tour~ Communication was very clear~ which I appreciated. We were picked up by Fabrice ahead of schedule in a clean air conditioned van. He explained exactly where we were going~ showing us on a map. He shared Excellent history- natural resources~ personal stories that answered all our questions about the island and living in paradise. He knew the names of flowers~ pointed out things we would have missed~ took great pictures of us with our phones~ We tried breadfruit chips and local fruits~ all adding to our great experience. This tour is an excellent choice for getting a feel of the island from a local. We highly recommend using Fabrice when in Tahati with Eden Tours.

Awesome learning experience - Highly recommend Fabrice! We feel like we could write a whole book report on Tahiti and everything we learned about the history, economics, and traditions. This is a great was to see the island and learn something new.

Tour of Tahiti Nui - We had a great tour with Antoinette and learned so much about Tahiti! My favorite parts included our visit to the black sand beach, the waterfalls and eating yummy pineapple and mango treats! This tour takes you around the entire island of Tahiti Nui, so it did feel a bit rushed at times since it was 5 hours, but overall we enjoyed the experience.
