- We can only recommend this tour! Simple and fast contact, exchanges and booking with Leonie who is very responsive and super accommodating. Almost 10 hours tour in the beautiful mountains of Tahiti! Rise, fall, river crossings, swimming, breathtaking views and many cultural stops and botanical stops. A huge thank you to our guide Manua for his professionalism, kindness and sharing all his knowledge throughout the day. Tour suitable for children, who enjoyed as much as we did. Our children aged 7, 8 and 12 were not bored for a second. Big plus compared to other companies: once in the valley, Manua removed the tarpaulin from the 4x4 which allowed us to have even more beautiful and wider views and we were even able to stand (safely) a good part of the tour and that is very appreciable. Mauruuru

Amazing day exploring the interior of Tahiti - We took this private tour with my children (11 and 13) and my parents. My mom is not particularly mobile and Lovinia was amazing. She let Mom ride in the front and was so gentle with helping her in and out of the car. The tour is so fun. Beautiful sites. She picked us up at the Airbnb and dropped us back. Super knowledgeable and fun. She really made the day special for everyone. It’s a bumpy trip and lots of fun. We loved the swimming in the creek (it was so cold) and singing by lake. And I want to say that Lovinia contacted me on what’s app when making the reservation and was just lovely to work with.

Day 4x4 Tahiti otherwise - Beautiful discovery of the island, breathtaking landscapes, very interesting explanations about fauna and flora and a dive into Polynesian culture with our guide. An activity rich in emotions and which complements well the seaside side of the island of Tahiti.

Family Papeno crossing - Our guide was very knowledgeable, he answered so many of our questions that we forgot about time and we could see he had a real passion. Our group was half french half English and he took the time to translate and make it relevant for each culture ( from.France and New Zealand) . Super! It was also very funny! We laugh hard through the bumpy road but always felt safe . Maruru !

Wild and unusual journey in 4x4. - The hidden side of Tahiti in 4x4, which allows us to discover the flora, culture, and history of the Polynesian peoples. Great landscapes between deep valleys inhabited by amazing plant species and majestic waterfalls. The crossing told by our English-speaking guide seduced our teenage grandchildren, diving in the waterfall delighted the whole family. An exciting adventure safely not to be missed for anyone curious to know the heart of this magical island.

Lush forests and waterfalls in Papeno’o Valley - Leo both owns the company and was our tour guide for the trip. She speaks multiple languages and can fluently move between them when she narrates. The trip had a good pace, we were picked up on time, there were opportunities for both nature and culture, Leo was prepared with snacks and ponchos for bad weather, and despite the heavy rain, we still saw the absolute beauty of the valley. You won’t be disappointed! Really quite fun and educational.

Grandiose excursion - The day before, we received an e-mail confirmation of pick-up location and time as well as information about the driver Tere. Pick-up went great. But it was not a vehicle from Hereakimanu, but from Aratai Safari. Driver Tere was very personable and a very good driver. He told us a lot and in case of weather change (rain - sun) constantly immediately closed or reopened the top. Great scenery and a magnificent view. I've never seen so many waterfalls side by side in my life. The road through the mountains is very challenging, bumpy and has many very deep potholes and puddles of water. Oncoming traffic has no chance here. We crossed two rivers. Tere demonstrated the echo in the mountains with a big shell and at lunch he sang and played ukulele with other drivers. Mauru'uru Tere! The only downside: we had booked a German-speaking excursion, but Tere only knew French and English (but was no problem for us).

"Jungle cruise" - Best way to see the interior of the island. Our guide, Leonie, put a lot of effort into telling us about the history and culture of the island- plants used for traditional medicine, etc. These were nice pauses in the drive, which were timed well and helped break up the ride (and helped my wife both get motion sick) Despite it being cloudy and rainy while we were at the top of the mountains, views were spectacular and we lost count of the many waterfalls we saw. Very much a tropical jungle adventure. My 15 year old son thought it was one of the best experiences of his life. We're glad we went. Very much not like back home. Don't discount the comments about it being bumpy. These are some seriously rutted and steep roads/trails. At times probably better suited to a jeep than the 4 wheel drive truck we were in. There will be hours of being tossed around. We handled it fine (45 through 15 years old), but the 65-75 (as a guess) year old French couple with us looked absolutely miserable the last couple of hours. There will be some exhaust fumes when stopped. I'm surprised the trucks even have exhaust pipes - we bottomed out/scraped hard several times on the way down. That all said, we'd totally recommend this/do it again.

Wonderful experience - Absolutely amazing! My wife and I were in Tahiti for our honeymoon and did this tour. We knew it would be amazing, but it was even better than we imagined it would be. Leonie was our guide and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, not only taking us to all of the amazing spots but also taking the time to explain the history of them and teach us about Polynesian culture. We had such a great time! It is a somewhat rugged type of adventure, which is exactly what we wanted, but if you are thinking about booking this tour, know that it will be a little bumpy and you may be exposed a lot of sun and rain.

Tahitian must-do. - Great experience. Driver/guide did his job very well. His English was sometimes a bit difficult to understand. Would certainly recomend others to do the trip with the same guide
