Feel the mana, experience adventure and see the most beautiful nature on the island - 10/10! Do the full day experience! Rainui is friendly, charismatic and very knowledgeable on the history of the island and Tahitian history and culture. Felt spiritually moved by the beauty of the nature and marae visit. Similar to home (NZ) but so far apart they a the same time .. Swimming in the river was the best. You can pop a phat manu off the rocks. This tour is Best part of my trip so far. Mauruuru Rainui ❤️

The pure beauty of nature and feeling the islands Mana - 10/10 would recommend Rainui’s tours. He’s funny, charismatic and extremely knowledgeable on the islands native Tahitian history and culture. The bumpy but adventurous ride makes for some entertainment. Swimming in the local river and standing under a waterfall was my highlight. Visiting Marae was truly spiritually moving. Rainui deeply cares for his fellow people and the culture. A word of advice if you don’t like to hear TRUE history on colonisers and the impact they’ve made on native people then don’t come lol

4 x 4 through the center of Papeete on an adventure of a lifetime - Travel through the rain forest in search of waterfalls in the back of a pickup truck. This is in our top five excursions of all time! We were fortunate to be with other couples from Europe and the US. Rainui CHAN was an excellent guide with real life experience having lived in the mountains of Tahiti. If you want an authentic and fun-filled adventure while in Papeete, this is your tour! Thank you for an amazing day!

A breathtaking setting - Going to Tahiti without doing this tour would be a mistake! We had a fantastic day in a stunning setting. The guide is friendly and gives a lot of information about its Maori culture. The trails are winding, in the mountains but Raini is a fantastic driver. I recommend without hesitation!
